Colin Goddard’s documentary, Living for 32, was shown Monday for a group of 100. At the end, he received a standing ovation. Goddard is one of 7 survivors out of a class of 17. We haven’t heard the last of this film or Goddard’s efforts to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. He is a man on a mission.
The film heads to Sundance Film Festival this weekend.
We, as a society, are going to have to discuss some limits on guns. Everyone cannot have one. There are compelling reasons.
Move over Corey, there’s more company. There now 3 PWC gentlemen vying for the position of BOCS chairman. Corey Stewart, of course, has not said he isn’t running, so we assume he will run for re-election (if he isn’t running for the US Senate). Bob Weir of Haymarket announced his candidacy during a BOCS meeting during citizens’ time, much to everyone’s shock and awe. Now Tito ‘the Builder’ Munoz of Dale City has pitched his hard hat in the ring for chairman.
Each man brings his own style to the race and each style is quite different. It should be an exciting campaign for Republicans.
The Democrats have 2 candidates running. So far things have been quiet from John Gray and Gary Friedman. Perhaps they are sitting back and letting the Republicans have at it for a while. That could be a smart move. It saves time and energy. Regardless, they will need lots of time and lots and lots of money. Someone we know has been filling his war chest. My Republican buddies have been keeping a close eye on that one.
Should we start taking bets now? Good for all of them. At least they care enough to run.
Additional Information in News & Messenger
UPDATE: Apparently we have been given bad information. Tito Munoz says he is NOT running for the BOCS chair.
From Facebook: Tito Munoz The article is false. I will be running for office, but not for the Chairman of the County Board of Supervisors. The Vpap.org information was not entered by me or anyone authorized to make that statement and was unknown to me until I read this false article. Vpap has been informed that they need to make a correction and should not enter any more data until they speak with me directly. –Tito Munoz
UPDATE 2: When I grow up, maybe I will get this thread right. John Gray has not announced as a Democrat. He announced as an Independent.
UPDATE 3: Gary Friedman has issued the following communication:
The following statement was released by Gary C. Friedman, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors:
“While I am not one to consider the strength of political campaigns to be determined by money, I do believe it is important for a candidate to demonstrate an ability to marshal the resources needed to effectively communicate his campaign’s message to the voters. In that regard, I am pleased to announce that the Friedman for Chairman campaign closed the filing period ending December 31, 2010 with over $100,000 cash in its account. I am looking forward to carrying the Democratic banner into the fall elections and championing the most pressing issues facing Prince William County citizens.”
