Conservativa

Do you live in Virginia’s 39th district? Then vote Jay O’Brien for Senate . I am not his constituent. So why do I urge those living in his district to vote for him?

To make a long story short, I had a concern from a past job. In late 2005, surfing at the Legislative Info System, I discovered that Sen. O’Brien had had a bill on that subject die in committee earlier in the year. I called Sen. O’Brien out of the blue, having never talked to him before, and asked if he would reintroduce the bill, and explained why. He did (a different and better version of the bill), and with the assistance of several others, including Walter Stosch (Sen. - 12th), the bill passed in 2006.

To repeat, I’m not even his constituent, but he listened and helped out, even though it was no gain for him. (I did not have a blog then on which to praise him). He just did what he thought was right for Virginia.

So if you live in Sen. O’Brien’s district, you follow his lead and do what’s right for Virginia: vote for Jay O’Brien for Senate on Nov. 6. If you can, call his campaign and volunteer to help. If you have the funds, please donate so he can buy airtime, etc. You can contribute to Jay O’Brien through RedStormPac, or choose “Support Our Campaign” on the left side on the campaign website, or mail the campaign at P. O. Box 5, Clifton, VA 20124-8470.
