Information

VA Congressional District 5 (Rep. Thomas Perriello)

For VA members interested in participating in state and national activities.

Website: http://perriello.house.gov/
Location: Main cities/towns: Charlottesville, Danville, Martinsville, South Boston, Farmville, Appomattox
Members: 54

*GOALS, AGENDA, AND STRUCTURE FOR DISTRICT 5*

District Coordinator: Bill Hay

The ultimate function of this group is to serve as a local headquarters for Congressional district 5. Members interested in participating in district, Tea Party and Patriotic activities should join.

District 5 may be the Main Stream Media favorite Congressional race this year.

Reporters love to find individual races that reflect large national themes and they are increasingly viewing both the GOP nomination battle and the general election as illustrative of key trends in American politics.

Will Tom Perriello be able to carry a district in an off-year election that the Democrats won because of an enormous turnout of Obama surge voters?

Will Perriello’s strong constituent service enable him not to pay a price for votes supporting the party’s national agenda that could be unpopular in the district.

And can the GOP manage its own emergent tensions between tea party supporters and party regulars without damaging Republican chances in November?


Keep checking back to this site to see what happens.

The goals are to confront and offer solutions to state and national issues, and to work with the other VA Congressional District groups and representatives to build a stronger state group. Each Congressional District group needs a District Coordinator. Below the Coordinators, there should be a Community Leader from each of the main cities/towns of that district who can recruit at a grassroots level.

It covers all or part of Greene, Campbell, Bedford, Albemarle, Nelson, Fluvanna, Buckingham, Cumberland, Appomattox, Prince Edward, Charlotte, Lunenberg, Franklin, Henry, Pittsylvania, Halifax, Mecklenberg, and Brunswick Counties. It includes the independent cities of Charlottesville (main site of the University of Virginia), Danville, Lynchburg, and Martinsville.

I did not want to do a press release, because on line polls are less than scientific, are often influenced by operatives and people outside of the district can participate, but in the spirit of every candidate trumpeting their favorite polls, I did want to draw attention to this one.

First Unofficial Straw Poll in Fifth District
Liberty Candidate Mike McPadden Leading the Pack

North Garden, VA - 01/22/10 -The McPadden for Congress Campaign announced today that they have claimed the lead in a recent poll sponsored by The Rob Schilling Show. Rob Schilling, a respected voice and trusted name in the Charlottesville/Albemarle community and host of The Schilling Show on Newsradio 1070 WINA, ran an online poll at www.schillingshow.com.

The poll which was available and open to the public generated interest throughout the 5th district. It included all seven of the 5th district congressional candidates and Congressman Tom Perriello (D-Ivy).

The overall favorite was Michael McPadden of North Garden, a Captain with Delta Airlines.
McPadden garnered 30% of the votes, dwarfing Eric Cantor endorsed candidate, Robert Hurt (14%) and Mike Farris endorsed candidate, Feda Morton (12%). Other candidates such as Lawrence Verga, Ron Ferrin, and Jim McKelvy barely split 13% between the three of them. Congressman Perriello only received 5% of the vote.

When questioned about the validity of the poll McPadden stated, "We do understand that this poll is not scientific. But we also believe that this poll is representative of the volunteers and the grass roots activists who have come to the campaigns to lend their support."

Over the past several months, McPadden and his team have been traveling the 5th district meeting voters and proclaiming his message of Individual Liberty, Sound Money and Constitutional Restraint. McPadden states, "It is clear that the work we have done bringing people into our campaign throughout the district has paid off. All we did was send out an email to our supporters and they did the rest."

McPadden's efforts in the 5th district to generate a grass roots campaign to gain the Republican nomination has passed a significant milestone by becoming the clear front runner going into the first of three Tea Party debates. McPadden states, "I am looking forward to the opportunity to debate my competitors on the issues Friday night at Lane Auditorium." McPadden concluded with, "We want to thank everyone for voting online and making us the front runner in this race."

To All My Democrat Friends: 


Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday.  Practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.  I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
 
 
To My Republican Friends:  
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I believe this campaign is as much about getting the conservative message out in an understandable way, as it is getting Parriello replaced.

Why I Am Running
The reason that I am running for Congress is that I want to bring thelanguage of our founding back into the political discourse. We neverhear politicians talking about American Exceptionalism anymore. Wenever hear about how nothing is more important than protecting therights of the individual. We never hear politicians expressing theirunderstanding that as goes Individual Liberty so goes prosperity.I want to change that.The other reason that I want to run for Congress is that for once in mylife I want to be able to go to the ballot box and vote for a candidatewho actually understands what the nature of his job is. I want to votefor a candidate who understands that governments are instituted amongmen to protect the blessings of liberty, and not to take away theirliberties. I believe that we as a people have waited long enough andthat I am not alone in these beliefs. The time to take back our libertyis now.TaxesI am not interested in going to Washington to debate the merits ofraising or lowering taxes and using class warfare to accomplish my ends at the expense of my country. The income tax code that we presentlysuffer under is morally repugnant to me and needs to be replaced. Because of the phenomena of embedded taxes, our current tax system is the most regressive of tax systems, and truly hurts those at the lowestend of our economic system the most. Because of this I am a supporterof the “Fair Tax” and would encourage everyone to please educate themselves on this issue.EnergyI have been waiting for over 30 years for Democrats and Republicans tocome together on at least this vital national security issue to move our country towards complete energy independence, and the fact that we are still waiting is a national disgrace. We need to open up the OuterContinental Shelf for drilling. We need to fast track the Nuclear Regulatory Commission application process to help speed up nuclear plant construction. I favor tax incentives for alternative energy, but I oppose subsidies, which has the effect of allowing the government to choose winners and losers. Finally our country is sitting on top of 500years of coal. I favor tax incentives for research into finding cheaperliquefaction and gasification processes for coal.EnvironmentI am an environmentalist. When you live in a state as beautiful as Virginia it is hard not to be humbled by the blessings that God has given us. It is up to us to protect our beautiful land and pass it on as unspoiled as possible to future generations. However, that being said, people come first. I will never support legislation that places animals or plants above individual liberty or property rights. We woulddo well to remember that prosperity comes from individual liberty, and clean, wholesome environments come from prosperous nations.Health CareRights are nonobligatory. That means if I require you to do something or give me something to exercise my rights then by definition it is not a right. Health care is not a right. The reason that health care costsare going up so fast is not because government isn’t involved enough, it is precisely that government is already too involved. In a nutshell we need to introduce more choice and more market reforms into the healthcare system, and we need to move government out. Please read my expanded plan to get a better understanding of what I would like to see happen in health care today.Defense Having served 22 years in the United States Navy I feel that I have a little insight into the defense issue. I would like to see our militarypersonnel have more input into the procurement process, and for influential Congressmen and Senators to have less. We have troops in 147 countries, I think we might be a little over extended; it is time for some of them to come home. I am in complete support of advancing our missile defense technology, at the fastest rate possible. Defense is our government’s number two priority, after protecting the rights ofthe individual. I believe that a goal of 4% of Gross Domestic Product is at best a minimum target for defense spending.Rights of ManI believe that all men are created equal in the eyes of their Creator. This does not mean that we are all given the same gifts, abilities, and talents, so it would be unreasonable to expect the same outcomes. I believe that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and property. I also believe that governments are instituted among men to secure these rights, and draw their just powers to govern from the consent of the governed. I believe that when a government fails to protect these basic rights of the people it becomes an illegitimate government.
