    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

DPV Statement on RPV Convention

Posted on May 29, 2008 by Riley

Democratic Party of Virginia

Dear xxxxxxm

Just yesterday, former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan accused Dick Cheney of misleading the media and public.

Tomorrow – just two days after these allegations hit the air waves – the Republican Party of Virginia will proudly display this architect of the Bush agenda in an attempt to fill their campaign coffers.

Vice President Dick Cheney will emerge from his undisclosed location to appear as the keynote speaker at the Commonwealth Gala during the 2008 Virginia Republican State Convention. With the funds raised at that event, he and the Virginia Republicans will try to turn back the clock on the progress we have made in Virginia.

At the dinner, Vice President Cheney will join the GOP’s U.S. Senate candidates — former Governor Jim Gilmore and Delegate Bob Marshall.

Also in attendance will be Attorney General Bob McDonnell, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling and Senator Ken Cuccinelli, all likely candidates for statewide office in 2009.

Each of these unabashed members of the far right-wing, from Cheney to Cuccinelli, has continually and consistently used their positions of power to put their party before progress.

When our nation and our Commonwealth have needed practical solutions, each of these extremist Republicans has opposed progress at every level.

But you can help us fight back.

With your donation of $10, $25, $50, $100 or $250 you can help us send a message to Dick Cheney, Jim Gilmore and John McCain.

With your support, we can show members of this extreme conservative alliance that Virginia Democrats aren’t ready to turn their backs on the progress we have made.

The 2008 election is critical for our nation and our party. We must help Mark Warner take his experience delivering real results for Virginians to the US Senate, and ensure that Virginia votes for a Democratic President.

So, please, help us fight Dick Cheney and his big oil money backers. Help us prove that Virginia Democrats are up to the challenge by making a contribution today.

Sincerely,

Levar Stoney
Executive Director
Democratic Party of Virginia

P.S. Help Virginia Democrats fight Dick Cheney and his Virginia Republican allies. Let’s show them that Virginia is tired of the Bush policies that have failed Virginia’s families. Contribute today!

Ahhh… Levar Stoney.  I wonder if he has lied to the police or hung out with any vandals lately…
