Apparently for disorderly conduct after refusing to leave the office of Rep. John Conyers (a Democrat), who chairs the House Judiciary Committee. Sheehan believes that the "Democrats won't hold this administration responsible, so we have to hold the Democrats responsible" and further announced her challenge of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
This would be one of the few instances in which I would actually like to see Pelosi re-elected.

Faisal Gill Proposal on Illegal Immigration
The Republican candidate in the 51st HOD District proposes we hold the employers of illegals responsible.
Not a bad idea, really. Impose tough restrictions on businesses that knowingly hire illegals, so Virginia becomes a less-attractive state for illegal immigrants to reside in. The restrictions goes as far as stripping businesses of their license for knowingly hiring illegals. Common sense stuff, and I like it. Take away the attractiveness our state has for illegals, and you reduce the influx of illegal aliens.

Sheehan Rally in C-Ville
The anti-war left is screaming about the success of Cindy Sheehan's "Impeach 'em all" rally. The anti-Sheehan crowd is crowing about the success of their "counter-rally".
My question is this...how successful can you gauge Sheehan's rally when it was a "few hundred people" in a town that has a sizable liberal population? Want to have a successful rally...draw over 1,000 people to see Hugo Chavez's best friend in a more conservative place, then I would call it a "huge success".
Otherwise, I'm inclined to believe it was just the same bunch of people that would've shown up no matter WHO it was that was demonstrating against the war.

Sen. Mark Obenshain on Republitarian
He will be discussing the abusive driver fees, so please keep your questions in reference to that topic. Myron wants to make sure that this Q-and-A session stays on topic and to the point, and I hope we can all respect that.

The Hypocrisy of Dem Challengers in Virginia
Simply put, I'm tired of reading about Democratic challengers attacking their Republican opponent for sponsoring the abusive-driver fees. Why? Well, the God-like-figure-to-Virginia-Dems himself, Tim Kaine, not only supported this bill, he was the one who made it apply to Virginia drivers only!
I have yet to see one Democratic challenger publicly denounce Tim Kaine's support of this legislation, nor have I seen one of them return money raised by Tim Kaine's PAC or raised at any fundraiser that Kaine attended in protest of Kaine's support of these fees that they are supposedly outraged about.
If you want to point fingers, place blame, and act indignant...start looking at the top man in your party, and not just at your political opponent. Unfortunately, you won't see that happen, as Virginia Dems won't risk losing support from their biggest cash cow.

Endorsement Time
I wanted to do this earlier, but now I'm going to go ahead and do it.
The Podium endorses Republican incumbent Ken Cuccinelli in the 37th State Senate District.
Despite the fact that over at Daily Whackjob, Greg B. has a "donation station" for Democratic challenger Janet Oleszek, I personally don't endorse her. I believe she is too far left on too many issues to be of any real good for Virginia. In fact, I like how Virginia Oddsmaker points out that Oleszek's website resmelbe like the Soviet flag. Cuccinelli, on the other hand, is a good conservative figure and a rising star in the Virginia GOP (although, I do think that goodbyeken.com is a pretty good blog, nonetheless).
Check out how Oleszek attempts to pin the "abuser fee" uproar on Cuccinelli, and then Cuccinelli retorts by showing what kind of leader Oleszek is.

Front Royal Not Going to Enforce Abuser Fees?
The Town Council of Front Royal, just 10-15 minutes from where I live, is encouraging county court clerks not to cooperate with the State Police in reference to the Abuser Fees, and is looking to pass a resolution that permits the Front Royal Police Department to NOT enforce the abuser fees.
After the recent bipartisan support over these fees, it looks like the localities are finding their own ways to rebel against these fees.

More Empty Statements From The Left
I just read that the Senate killed an amendment to require voters to show a photo ID when they go to the polls to vote. The final vote was 42-54. Interesting notes from the roll...
- No Democrat voted in favor of this amendment.
- 5 Republicans voted against this (Collins, Snowe, Murkowski, Sununu, and Voinovich)
- 3 of the 5 GOP Senators that voted against this are female (not to make any accusations, just found that interesting).
- Sam Brownback and Barack Obama sat this vote out, as they did on the "John Doe" amendment. Trent Lott also say this one out.
Remember all that talk about "fixing the voting system" from the Democrats? Looks like the Democrats are really in favor of "fixing the vote"...in their favor. This should be a no-brainer, non-partisan issue. Instead, every Democrat in the Senate that voted was basically voting in favor of voting fraud.
