The Marshall/Newman Amendment is nothing more than a cynical ploy on the part of conservative politicians to distract our attention from the manifest failures of the Virginia General Assembly and the Bush Administration.

Virginians are concerned about the economy.

Virginians are concerned about transportation.

Virginians are concerned about education.

Most important, Virginians GÇô and all Americans GÇô are concerned about our national security and the safety of our troops overseas.

Instead of focusing on these issues, why are Bob Marshall, Steve Newman and their fellow travelers dividing the Commonwealth in a cynical attempt to pass an unnecessary, poorly-written and dangerous, bile-filled stain on the Virginia Bill of Rights?

One hundred and three soldiers and Marines were killed in Iraq in October.  Why wonGÇÖt our leaders focus on what matters?

Send a message on Tuesday.  Tell our leaders that itGÇÖs time to focus on what matters.  ItGÇÖs time to unite our nation, and itGÇÖs time for patriotic Americans to put aside the politics of division so that we can defeat our enemies and achieve justice at home.
