This is unacceptable - we should be shooting for 75% or above.\\ \\ Given the problems in this country and the world at this time, you should be out there storming the ballot boxes and making your voices heard, loud and clear.\\ \\ If you just sit back, stay home and don’t vote; then you are quietly permitting those currently in power to stay in power. Remember, most incumbent politicians win their races due to the inherent advantages they enjoy from their position.\\ \\ So if you want change, then you have make it happen with your votes. Otherwise, those who give you wasteful spending, government overreach, burdensome regulations and rules ‘for thee, not for me’ will get to continue their nefarious plans.    \\ \\ Please do your homework. Study the candidate’s positions on the issues that are important to you. Disregard the overblown hype and the negative attack advertising you see and hear on media, as this most often reflects what big money donors want you to think and not reality.\\ \\ By all means support those candidates (no matter their party affiliation) who believe in the same principles of limited government and financial responsibility as we do. Those candidates, once elected, will help bring about the Article V Convention of States and return power to ‘We the People’ as our founding fathers always intended.\\ \\ Go vote Virginia – no excuses!\\ \\ “Paid for by Convention of States Action.
