'We, The People' of Tidewater have been fighting the relentless effort to set up unaccountable, all-appointed REGIONAL governing for DECADES.

In 2002 we had a $2.5M Business Lobby called the "Yes Campaign" try to force a regional transportation decision-making process upon use (SB 668). Voters rejected it by 2-to-1 opposed!

In 2007 the corrupt General Assembly brought it back, no referendum this time. They passed HB 3202. Gov. Kaine signed it into law. A few of us "grassroots sued the General Assembly because all-appointed regional taxing authorities are unconstitution in VA. We Won! The Hampton Roads Transportation Authority was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of VA.

So, here it is, 2014 - and it's BACK - another attempt to inflict unaccountable regional government upon use!

Please, join us - just say "No!"

We don't need more government, we need those we directly elect to do their job - and to be accountable to the voters!

#7: Reid Greenmun - Just say "No!"

You failed to mention Gvernor Bob McDonnell our once heralded advocate of small government and self proclaimed stawart of Constitutional Conservatism turned out to be the antithesis of both and successfully spearheaded the legislation that brought to fruition the biggest usurpation of individual rights and expansion of state and local government and largest tax increases in the history of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our now defrocked, humiliated and indicted Governor (and his wife) are facing many years in prison if convicted of the charges of which he is obviously guilty in the eyes of public opinion, and one can only hope justice will be dealt to both with the same set of rules as those used for the citizens whom he betrayed.

Bob McDonnell also tried to ram through the Obama health care plan and Obama's expansion of Medicaid. Although McDonnell fell short in his effort there are many corrupt republicans still in the general assembly who are working to follow through with the McDonnell/ Obama plan of expanding Medicaid, which will result in bankrupting the commonwealth of Virginia.
