I spent many days in January campaigning in South Western Virginia for two of my Republican friends: Greg Habeeb and Bill Stanley. Habeeb, a Lebanese American, and Stanley were running in a Special Election to replace two Republicans who are now members of Congress. On Tuesday the 11th, the citizens of South Side VA casted their votes and sent my two Republican friends to Richmond with a decisive 60+ % of the vote. The messages we heard from the voters as we worked the polls were familiar and consistent: cut spending, smaller government, fiscal responsibility, create jobs and repeal Obamacare. The following morning I attended Senator Stanley’s and Delegate Habeeb’s swearing in ceremonies at the beginning of the legislative session. Later in the evening, as a guest of the First Family, I attended Governor McDonnell‘s State of the Commonwealth Address to the General Assembly followed by a reception at the Executive Mansion. Some of the Governor’s priorities included:
· Create new job-creating tools and resources to help start, grow, and recruit new businesses
· Implement major reforms and more accountability in higher education to make college more affordable and accessible for our students
· Reform government by prioritizing spending, eliminating or consolidating targeted agencies
The Governor is obviously in sync with Virginians. President Obama can and should adopt Governor McDonnell’s priorities. Americans sent a clear message to the President in November; Virginians reaffirmed the message in January; it is time for the President to listen and serve the best interest of Americans instead of Governing from the left on a liberal agendaof Tax & Spend.
