P4BA SUPPORTS CONSERVATIVES
DEMS VA REDISTRICTING FAILED - NOW WE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Democrats won the Governor's race, won a majority in the Virginia House, and a majority in the Virginia Senate.
In less than a year, we've seen the damage Democrat leadership can do to our Commonwealth.
Jobs: in their zeal for "workers' rights" the Democrats have swung the pendulum so far in the other direction that they're chasing employers out of the state.
Boeing announced the relocation of three key sectors of their company back to St. Louis. That's a loss of $74 Billion in jobs and tax revenue.
Other employers are following suit, and the damage to Virginia's economy is currently tallied at somewhere between 250 billion and 500 billion dollars.
November's election is not just a battle for conservative candidates:
We need to support conservative candidates, but we also need to fight for our values this election. There are three constitutional amendments on the ballot.
Question 1: "Right to Reproductive Freedom"
Reproductive freedom is a euphemism for abortion on demand, at any time for any reason. There are at least three people involved in any pregnancy: the mother, the unborn child, and the father. In only the most extreme circumstances can we call abortion "healthcare". There are circumstances where abortion is the best option for the health of the mother, otherwise, abortion is performed out of convenience at the expense of the unborn child, and that's not acceptable. The state should not interfere with medical care, but our laws must respect the sanctity of human life. Killing an unborn child is murder and should be dealt with accordingly. In the case of minors, their parents should be involved, not kept out
Question 2: "Removal of Same-Sex Marriage Ban"
In 2006, Virginia instituted a Constitutional Provision defining marriage solely as a union between "one man and one woman". This protects traditional marriage. It does not keep two people of the same sex from a legal union and it does not prohibit marriage ceremonies. Furthermore, the new constitutional language lacks explicit protections for religious organizations, faith-based adoption agencies, or clergy who decline to solemnize or recognize marriages that conflict with their religious beliefs. Our current law does not bar a legal agreement between any two consenting adults based on sex, gender, or race.
Question 3: Voting Rights Restoration for Felons
This amendment automatically restores voting rights and political privileges to individuals convicted of a felony upon their release from prison, without requiring an individual application. It replaces the current system, where right restoration relies on discretionary executive action by the Governor.
While this amendment is well intended, release from prison does not equal rehabilitation and it does not equal completion of the sentence handed down by the courts.
Voting rights should not be restored until individuals have completed probation, parole, and paid all court-ordered restitution to victims.
The governor's discretionary authority provides an important check to ensure individuals have demonstrated rehabilitation before re-entering the electorate.
