citizentom.wordpress.com: The REAL Reason the Planned Parenthood Amendment Died?

March 17, 2008
Here in this excerpt from the March 16th edition of the Cuccinelli Compass, Senator Ken Cuccinelli provides the scoop. He explains how the Democrats managed to fund Planned Parenthood in spite of Senator Chuck Colgan?s adamant opposition (sarcasm intended). March 16, 2008 Dear Fellow Republican: Alright, proving once again why anyone Republican that wants to know why things happen the way they do in Virginia government must subscribe to The Compass? in this issue you will read the re...

citizentom.wordpress.com: PLEASE CONTACT SENATOR COLGAN IMMEDIATELY

March 12, 2008
Here is an email from Bob FitzSimmonds. Working with the Republican caucus, Senator Ken Cuccinelli was able to get the Senate to vote to ban Planned Parenthood funding from the state budget. While this is fairly normal language for the House version of the budget, the Senate conferees have always stripped it out of the final state budget. This is the first time the Senate has ever voted this way, so we have a historic opportunity to stop funding this organization at state expense. I wa...

skepticalobservor.blogspot.com: Senator Chuck Colgan: PLINO?

March 12, 2008
That's "Pro-Life in Name Only." You'll recall that state Senator Chuck Colgan has been conning the Conservative voters of his district ... well, for literally decades. He prevailed over Dave Mabie in 2003, and over a very strong challenge by Bob FitzSimmonds in 2007. You see, 'round about election time, Chuck has successfully beat back Republican challenges by claiming to his constituency that he is pro-life. Of course, to an ever-increasingly moonbat Democrat constituency, this is apostacy. S...

Craig's Musings : Respect for Colgan gone...

February 29, 2008
Chuck Colgan, what can you say... he's old? He's been in office a long time? Or how about this: Chuck Colgan lied during the last campaign when he said he would not support an increase in the gas tax and he would introduce legislation that would be tough on illegal immigrants. (I, by the way, do support an increase in the gas tax and think that Virginia is wasting way too much time on the subject of illegal immigration.) During the current GA session Colgan voted to increase the gas tax AND he...

wheatandweeds.blogspot.com: In Praise Of A Brave Democrat

February 28, 2008
The Virginia Senate just did something amazing: passed a budget amendment that would de-fund Planned Parenthood for the next two years. The VA Senate is controlled by the Democrats, and the vote was tied, with the decisive vote cast by the Lt. Gov. The GOP-controlled House has been pushing this for years, so it is likely to be ratified there. Then it will just be up to the Gov. to decide whether he wants to fight the amendment. The pointman was the VA GOP's redoubtable Ken Cuccinelli (who's eye...
