Silver Lake Silver Lake Service, October 13th

Elena

Pete Candland has organized a committee to help make improvements to Silver Lake.  There will be general clean up, planting of flowers, fixing of benches, etc.

Lunch will be provided to volunteers.

I commend the citizens for taking their own time to help organize this clean up and general maintenance service day.  It is unfortunate that so little county tax payer dollars have been invested in this “jewel”.  I look forward to the day that citizens will not be responsible for the care and upkeep of their parks.

 

 

Bob Marshall screws the pooch–again

From NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia:

Del. Bob Marshall just doesn’t get it. Despite this past year’s backlash against his “personhood” bill and the now infamous forced ultrasound law, he is continuing his crusade against women’s health and rights.   Last week, the infamous anti-choice legislator pre-filed three anti-choice bills for the 2013 Virginia legislative session:

  • H.B.1314, H.B.1315 would allow your boss to refuse to cover birth control and sterilization procedures in your insurance plan based on their own personal beliefs. Bosses should not be able to decide which types of health-care coverage their employees should get.
  • H.B.1316 is one of the most deceptive bills we’ve seen. It exploits the issue of sex-selective abortion and pretends to support women’s rights. However, it penalizes doctors for failing to determine if sex is a factor in a woman’s decision to choose abortion.

Way to go, Taliban Bobby.  Didn’t you and your gang of oppressors inflict enough damage on to the governor last year?    Do Marshall and the rest of the  anti-choice zealots in the Virginia General Assembly realize that the governor is now know, nationally, as Governor Ultra-Sound?  We are the national laughing stock.

Why should anyone’s boss get to decide about what birth control someone uses or if your health insurance covers sterilization?

These are people who want the government out of your business?  I think not.   Bob Marshall has been an effen idiot since taking office.  Its time for him to SDASTFU.
