Folks,
We need to stop this from becoming a law. We have a great chance of this. Let's not over-react to the words of one legislator that has no authority to back his words on the threat of calling out the National Guard. All this talk of kinetic action, while interesting, isn't what we need to focus on right now.
To stop this unconstitutional bill from becoming law, consider the following analysis I just did.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES
- 23 Democratic Delegates to the House (of the 55 total) are from counties or cities that are currently "2A Sanctuaries" (including a massive 8 from Prince William County - that is why I have been calling that County as "the key battleground").
- Democrats only have a 5 seat majority in the House, 55 to 45.
SENATE
- 13 Democratic Senators (of the 21 total) are from counties or cities that are currently "2A Sanctuaries" (4 from Prince William).
- Democrats only have a 2 seat majority in the Senate, 21 to 19.
We need to focus on these 36 legislators and make it clear that their constituents want them to support the 2A. If they don't, their political careers are at risk.
DEM SENATORS from these counties are 2A Sanctuaries:
- Giles, James City, Chesapeake (city), Northampton, Hanover, Henrico, Powhatan, Prince William (x4), Dinwiddle, Brunswick, Isle of Wight, Surry, Sussex, Alleghany, Bath, Nelson, Rockbridge.
DEM DELEGATES from these counties are 2A Sanctuaries:
- Prince William (x8), Frederick, Giles, Dinwiddie (x2). Southhampton, Surry, Sussex, Lunenburg, Island of Wight, James CIty, Greensville, Franklin, Prince George, Henrico (x6), Charles City, Brunswick, Popuoson.
If you are from these counties, you are the warriors on the front line. This is where this law will be decided. At least, please get out at these events. Show up on 20 January in Richmond. Write letters to these people. Call them.
If your county hasn't voted yet, get out there. Stafford, Fauquier, Clarke, Chesterfield are massively important counties that could influence additional Democratic legislators to vote against the bill. There are other remaining counties and cities that need to go 2A friendly as well.
Thanks guys and please let's focus on stopping this bill before it gets to Northam's desk and before someone needs to think about calling out National Guard or State Police.
