We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Guns on K-12 school property

VA-ALERT: Republican Canvass tonight -- House District 27

OCing at the Capital
imported post I had a great day around the Capital and the city of Richmond on Friday. I could put this in the Richmond OC thread, but I feel this relates more to the state as a whole. My wife and I went to the State Capital and took the tour while I was OCing. When I went through security I... -

John Warner will not seek re-election
imported post http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/31/warner/index.html I for one will not be sad to see him go. While he would always respond to my emails or letters (unlike Webb), he would always veil his answers in doubt. He would say he supports the second amendment, then spout off... -

Chesterfield Applebees Robbed
