Rob Wittman holds tele-town halls to manage what questions he responds to & to limit follow-up to his answers. Don't let Rob get away with evading questions! The next caller should use the opportunity to call out his gaslighting/lies rather than moving on to a new topic. BE STRATEGIC!

To attend the tele-town hall, you have to sign up on Wittman’s website. Here’s the 🔗 wittman.house.gov/forms/form/?...

This is voter suppression targeting women who take their spouse’s name. Republicans are trying to push it through. Take action at the link below.

It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote. Requiring proof of citizenship creates barriers for eligible voters. Tell the Election Assistance Commission you oppose requiring citizens to submit passport, birth certificate, or other citizenship documents to register to vote! Do it here: bit.ly/42EZzkR NOW!

**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** Witness for Democracy October 18, 11:00-12:30 visibility event, north side of 289, east of intersection with Spring Village Dr. This is a "walk-to" event, NO PARKING area. We are a group of seniors appalled at the actions of the current administration, especially its disregard for the rule of law and actions suppressing free speech. We believe action by the people is necessary to prevent dictatorship, destruction of our democratic government and mass suffering. We cry wake up to America. We ask our neighbors to join us at this "walk to" neighborhood event next to the Franconia-Springfield Parkway (289) on October 18 from 11:00-12:30. _A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events._

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.

Completely embarrassing performance by Earle-Sears, constantly interrupting while Spanberger remained focused, respectful, and answered questions. Sears can’t even follow the rules of debate, she won’t follow the laws that protect Virginians.

Republican candidate for Attorney General, Jason Miyares, told police to not hesitate to shoot unarmed citizens if they feel angry, promising to protect the killers. Jay Jones and the Democratic ticket will protect us from this lawless regime.

Opinion | Virginia’s attorney general sends a dangerous message to police

The case of the young accountant, killed in an unwarranted shooting by U.S. Park Police in 2017, remains a study in law enforcement impunity.

Shocking video and clearly criminal. Why aren’t these thugs arrested? A pepper ball can be lethal and is never to be shot directly at a person.

When Republicans can’t get their way, they break the law. Johnson’s duty is to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 3d

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Let’s get to work for these great candidates. Contact you local Democrats and knock doors, write postcards, hand out literature, attend debates. We must get them in the state house to protect our constitutional rights and lower healthcare costs.

☑️ Mark Downey (69)
☑️ Shelly Simonds (70)
☑️Jessica Anderson (71)
☑️Randolph Critzer (72)
Vote Blue on Nov. 4!

Between Trump's tax law and the government shutdown, Virginians' rural hospitals are taking a massive hit — yet my opponent still refuses to stand up for Virginians' healthcare.

Ridiculous. The text was from a silly meme originating from the show The Office. A private joke. Jay Jones will uphold the constitution and protect the rights and freedoms of our citizens. Miyares will only protect Donald Trump. That’s not a joke.

Early voting is happening now! Find your polling place at Vote.Virginia.gov. Jay Jones as attorney general will uphold the constitution and defend our rights. Miyares will only defend Donald. Vote for Democrats up and down the ballot and save our democracy.
