What would be their benefit to infringe upon our Property Rights in Virginia?
Now For Virginia Stream Access posted January 21, 2014 by Kevin Colburn
Attention Virginia Paddler!
If you want to help improve the stream access situation in Virginia, here is your chance! Virginia Senator David W. Marsden (D) has introduced a stream access bill, SB 629, with broad support from the paddling community. This bill marks an improvement upon last year’s SB737, and better meets the public interest in river enjoyment while addressing concerns of other interests.
"What our generation has forgotten is that the system of private property is the most important guarantee of freedom, not only for those who own property, but scarcely less for those who do not. It is only because the control of the means of production is divided among many people acting independently that nobody has complete power over us, that we as individuals can decide what to do with ourselves." - Friedrich A. Hayek - Author of "The Road to Serfdom"

Right to Trespass bill.
Thanks everyone for your Prayers, calls, letters. Although we were at a disadvantage with both in and out of state Environmental and Paddling Groups, The Right to Trespass Law was defeated.
The Constitution of The United States and The Constitution of Virginia was upheld! The Senate upheld our Property Rights! Well mostly, there were 10 that may differ on this! Thank the Senators, especially our own Bill Stanley that stood for the people! Also thank Charles Poindexter for his help! Pray for those that have lost their way, to see the light of Liberty! Together we stand!

2014-15 Budget
County Government and the School Board should realize; they have a spending problem and should work with the resources they have. There is still time to reduce the proposed appropriations before our final vote on the Budget in June. Let’s limit spending to equal revenue; operating on savings is not in the people’s interest.
