Legislation presented earlier this session attempted to move Virginia away from recognizing the electoral college process in national elections. That legislation attempted to set aside U.S. Constitutional requirements for electing the president. Also, five of the six seats that changed parties this last election were influenced by a court ordered redistricting that was carried out by a California firm for Virginia. This change also including the redistricting that likely cost Dave Brat his seat in Virginia’s 7^th District. Redistricting is one of the means being used to change election results in Virginia.

Some legislators are trying to pass a state constitutional amendment creating a more transparent process for setting districts for state and federal offices going forward. If you agree with the purpose, your voice is needed. Read More

Last week, CLIC-VA reported on the deluge of bills, energized by out of state deep pockets which has placed Virginia on the fast lane to Marxism while erasing the freedoms and liberties of the free people of Virginia. This is Legislative Blitzkrieg, which is an intense legislative campaign intended to bring swift victory and fundamentally change the Commonwealth of Virginia into an East Coast California.  Much of this legislation is broad, vague, ambiguous and out right unconstitutional. Unless there are significant changes to pending legislation on the floor and in conference committees this coming week, repercussions from the 2020 General Assembly will be felt in the courts for years.

The deluge of bills, energized by out of state deep pockets has placed Virginia on the fast lane to Marxism while erasing the freedoms and liberties of the free people of Virginia.

The email below summarizes some of the legislation passed, or likely to be passed, by the Virginia legislature year. Taxes, in several forms, have passed. Tax increases on cigarettes, lodging, meals, and likely gasoline. But many tax increases have also come in the form of unfunded mandates to be picked up by local government.

One quick example. In the election area, each locality will need to have a polling place open for 45 days prior to an election—beginning this November. Local government will need to pay to acquire or renovate space for voters to use, and pay for election officers to staff the polling place for 45 days. Local governments will also be required to enclose a postage paid envelope when mailing out ballots to voters. All to be funded by you, the taxpayer. It is only a matter of time before other tax increases will be enacted to cover the looming cost increases from the legislation passed over the last several years. And the summary below is only a partial list of this year’s changes. Read More

Dear Christian, it is the Christian's duty to defend the Word of God and the Church when directly attacked, not to act is to be disobedient.  We will be judged for both our actions and our inaction at the Bema Seat of Christ.

from the Family Foundation

I wish I had better news for you on Valentine’s Day of all days, and that the title of this email was an exaggeration, but we really have found ourselves in a dire and urgent situation in Virginia, and we MUST act now to save Christian churches, schools, and non-profit ministries from the destruction the new Democrat majority is plotting for them.

HB 1663 (D-Sickles) and its Senate version SB 868 (D-Ebbin) place far-reaching special protections for “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” (SOGI) into virtually every part of our law, and EVERY TIME it creates a direct conflict with people of faith (typically Christians) who hold to a Biblical and historical view of marriage, sexuality, and human nature – including churches, private schools, and non-profit ministries.

These bills virtually guarantee that churches, private religious schools and non-profit ministries, and Christian-led businesses who will not abandon God’s Word and His design for male and female will be targeted, sued, fined, bankrupted, and ultimately shut down.  (Read some of the ways below.)
