Wounded Warrior Pheasant Hunt

This past weekend, I had a ton of fun outdoors in Scottsville with soldiers injured protecting this great country. The inaugural Wounded Warrior Pheasant Hunt was hosted by the Virginia Sportsmen's Foundation, Inc. It was a great event. I can't wait for the next one!

Check out this quick clip about the day.

Disenfranchised

At a time when we need to be focusing on creating jobs and growing the economy, partisan extremists in Richmond have a very different agenda: right now they’re ramming through a series of bills that are deliberately designed to disenfranchise Virginia voters. If passed, these measures will make it much harder for many minorities, seniors, low-income populations, and disabled Virginians to cast their ballots.

It’s a page that comes straight from Karl Rove’s playbook in the 2000 Presidential election – and it’s outrageous. People died for the right to vote in this country, and we have to protect it.

I’m asking for your help to put the pressure on our legislators and our Governor. We need to make our voices heard before it’s too late.

One of the reasons I got involved in politics is that I love getting people engaged in the democratic process. The only way our system works is if we make sure people aren't denied a chance to participate. That's just one of the reasons that in the wake of the problems we saw in Florida during the 2000 election, I founded the Voting Rights Institute when I served as chair of the Democratic Party - so we could take action against intimidation, election errors, and disenfranchisement.

Voter suppression wasn’t right in 2000 and we cannot allow it to happen again. There is just too much on the line.

It’s time to stand up and speak out for the rights of all Virginians to exercise their fundamental right to vote.

Thanks for your help

Vote today

This is as important an election as we've had in a long time. We have many competitive races across the Commonwealth today, and we need to keep control of our last line of defense in Richmond: the State Senate. The Republicans only need to pick up two additional seats to take the entire General Assembly and the Governors mansion. We have to stop them.

The education of our children, our energy future, and the health of the economy are all on the line today.

So please make sure you get out to the polls and bring your friends and family with you.

Click here to find your polling place. They're open until 7pm tonight. Thanks, Terry
