Hi Bob,
I am troubled by the friction between Frederick and some State Committee Members and you. I’m not sure I know what the issues are against Frederick, but I do know he is a good Conservative. Will this issue be addressed at the convention in May? Can you all come to a meeting of the minds for the good of VA & the Party? You’ve been a good Conservative too, I hope you don’t start wobbling the closer we get to election day. You have a good solid record and can be proud to run as the best and most qualified candidate for Govenor of VA.
Thank you!

Some 30 state legislatures have either introduced or have considered laws to reaffirm their rights under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. This is the gist of most of them:

“Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the state of _________ hereby claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. ”

Would you be in favor of such legislation in Virginia and would you actively push the legislature to introduce and pass a 10th Amendment bill?

I live in Hampton Roads and have experienced the horror known as the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. What is your plan to improve transportation issues within the Commonwealth, specifically the Hampton Roads area?

Do you support privatizing social security?

How involved should the government be in alternative energy development?

Do you support tax incentives for nuclear energy?

I am excited that you will be our next Governor, however, there is some talk in the state about your 2nd Amendment positions. Please explain to us on Redstate where you stand with the 2nd Amendment. Also, it is more than disturbing that we are looking to replace the VA GOP Chair with just 7 months beforel the elections. Do you support that replacement, and if so, can someone new get up to speed to insure that everything will be in place to help you and other Republicans to get elected in November?

Are you in favor of the Virginia governor being unable to run for a second term? Would you support a state constitutional amendment to allow a second term?

Are you in favor of term limits for members of the U. S. House and Senate? The Virginia HOD and Senate?

Mr. McDonnell,
I live in a city that you will win hands down. So what is the best way way for me to help outside of my district? Since I am one of those that has had his salary cut during these “worst economic times since the Great depression”, I am not in a position to help much financially so I would like to help in other ways.

Notwithstanding your support for offshore drilling, how do you propose navigating the obstructionist environmental lobby in DC so that Virginia even has the opportunity to drill in its own waters?

How do you propose to increase the mining and usage of Virgnia’s coal resources for electricity generation, when the position of the Federal government is to suppress all fossil fuel use.

Thanks…

Illegal immigration….do you believe we are a Sovereign nation and that the rule of law MUST be enforced?

Thank you Sir and on to the Govenor’s mansion!

Bob,
If Jeff Frederick successfully fights off the Old Guard (dead wood) on the SCC, what will you do to get the Old Guard SCC members on board with the majority of the grassroots who elected Jeff last year and turn Virginia Red again?

Hey folks, sorry about the delay in starting, a few computer issues in our hotel room just outside Martinsville. Day 2 of our “New Jobs, More Opportunities” statewide campaign kickoff tour, and today I visited with voters at the Martinsville race, stopped by an NAACP meeting in the area, and now am spending the evening doing a variety of online events. Tomorrow we go from Martinsville to Virginia Beach, joined by Governor Mike Huckabee at a few stops. Our campaign is off to a great start and we look forward to a fun and vigorous campaign based on our common-sense conservative principles and our driving goal of bringing new jobs and more opportunities to every region of Virginia. As I’ve done as Attorney General I look forward to regular and constant communications with the new media!

Mr. McDonnell

Coming off of two loosing general elections the Republican brand seems to have difficulty connecting with folks ether through the MSM Liberal filter or going directly to the American people.

What are your views on restoring the Republican brand?

Folks, thanks for your time today, we have to run, the kickoff tour continues! see you on the trail, and online. Head over to bobmcdonnell.com for more details on what we’re doing, including our events with Mike Huckabee over the next two days.
