Bob "Let Them Eat Cake" McDonnell
Empty - gas tanks, frig. That's ok with Bob. Watch http://www.therealbobmcdonnell.com/ - stay tuned til the disclaimer - that's me (with a professional makeup job)!
How much do you make?
Like lots of women, I earn less than I should and less than men with similar responsibilities and skills. Asking nicely- or not nicely - doesn't make any difference. We need new laws to achieve pay equity. And we need Senators Webb and Warner to speak up for pay equity. They need to hear from their female constituents. Remind them that the women's vote helped elect them. What we want is simple - their co-sponsorship of the Paycheck Fairness Act, S.182.
S. 182 is fully supported by the Obama Administration and it has already passed in the House. It has 30 co-sponsors in the Senate - we need at least a dozen more before Harry Reid will bring it up for a vote on the Senate floor. The passage of this bill is a crucial step towards deterring wage discrimination and closing the persistent wage gap between men and women.

Mike Signer's Campaign - Wow
Wow. My son, Mike, shone at the debate on Fairfax public access TV yesterday and I was so happy to spend Mother’s Day watching him.
I know that I am biased because as parents we are always proud of our children, but let me tell you why I thought Mike did so well. Despite negative attacks, he didn’t just sputter off sound bytes and talking points, but rather, with every answer he showed that he has a commanding knowledge of the issues and new ideas to move Virginia forward.
As a longtime Virginia activist and President of the Virginia National Organization for Women, I know what our Commonwealth needs right now. We need someone willing to talk to voters like adults and bring new ideas to the table. That is just what Mike demonstrated in the debate last night.
Please take 2 minutes and tell 5 friends about Mike’s campaign. He is running to turn the office of Lieutenant Governor from a placeholder to public advocate and shine a spotlight on the problems we’ve ignored for too long. This message is resonating with voters across the Commonwealth. 70% of voters are still undecided in this race, but the more people that talk to Mike, the stronger his campaign gets.
Mike’s opponents are attacking and outspending him. But, I know my son and I know that if people can hear Mike and meet Mike then they will support him. The election is just 30 days away and my son needs your help today. I hope that all the mothers out there had as wonderful a Mother’s Day as I did. Thank you for your support. Visit Mike's website to stay updated on the campaign and see how you can get involved.
