Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

ACTS Network: Chaplains Not Allowed to Pray ?In Jesus? Name?

February 24, 2009
Police chaplains in Virginia will still be unable to pray in Jesus? name, after Senators killed a proposal to reverse an earlier decision. The proposal from Del. Bill Carrico would have turned back an earlier decision to prohibit volunteer chaplains from referring to religion and including the name of Jesus Christ during prayers at state sanctioned events. Carrico told The Roanoke Times that he is not giving up, ?The Christian faith has been persecuted in this country for too long ...

FamilyFoundationBlog.com: You Had To Be There . . .

February 24, 2009
We?ve received a few questions about yesterday?s vote in the Senate Courts of Justice Committee on HB 2314, the chaplain prayer bill. The most asked question is simple: What was the actual vote on the bill? Unfortunately, because of the game played in committee, its not as simple as that. In fact, the final vote on the bill is in no way a reflection of where individual legislators actually stood on issue of chaplain prayer or religious freedom. Essentially, an amendment to the bill (herein r...
