Three Democrat appointed federal judges ruled today that Virginia and its citizens have no rights they can vindicate in federal court, recalling to mind the actions of British King George III, who “abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection” (Declaration of Independence). Their decision is at fundamental odds with legitimate, constitutional government.
While the Federal Fourth Circuit acknowledged that “Congress has imposed a potentially ‘harsh regime’ on some taxpayers,” which poses questions of “unusual legal, economic and political significance,” it still held that neither states such as Virginia, nor citizens may legally challenge the imposition of a congressional statute which Congress’ own Research Service concludes has no precedent in American history.*
The three federal judges appointed by Presidents Obama and Clinton claim that “a state has no interest in the rights of its individual citizens sufficient to justify such an invasion of federal sovereignty.” (Virginia v. Sebelius) Read more

RICHMOND – Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement this morning following news of the passing of House of Delegates Clerk Bruce F. Jamerson.
“Bruce Jamerson was a State Capitol institution. He knew the history of Jefferson’s Capitol, the Square that surrounded it and the individuals who worked in it, better than anyone else. He loved his work, and he loved our Commonwealth.

MANASSAS, VA – As a representative elected by the people of my district and as chief patron of the Health Care Freedom Act, I thought it my responsibility to demonstrate this Assembly’s strong support of the action taken by our Attorney General to defend the constitutional rights of each Virginia citizen to make their own choice of health care and healthy living, and not to be forced by the Leviathan in Washington D.C. to live the way some unelected bureaucrat would require us to live.
What did we say to the Court of Appeals that was not already said by the Attorney General?
The Attorney General’s basic argument was that Obamacare’s mandate that every American purchase a health insurance policy or plan approved by the bureaucrats was unconstitutional and, therefore, the entire Obamacare statute was unconstitutional. As you know in the district court the Attorney General won only the first argument — that the individual mandate was unconstitutional — leaving the rest of it in place.
Our strategy was different. We argued that Obamacare in its entirety was unconstitutional and for that reason the individual mandate was unconstitutional. If our point is upheld, then all of Obamacare — not just the individual mandate — is unconstitutional. Read more

Friends,
I have 6 bills which have been sent to the Senate and need your help to get them passed.
HB 1397 will exempt homes from the Federal “Cap & Trade” legislation. It has been sent to the Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee. http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?111+com+S1
HB 1440 will construe the word “person” in the Code of Virginia to include unborn children. It should be sent to the Senate Courts of Justice Committee but could be sent to Senate Education & Health which would certainly be a death knell for the bill.
HB 1457 will penalize state employees who knowingly violate Freedom of Information Act law. This bill has been sent to the Senate General Laws Committee http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?111+com+S12.
HB 1458 will require that insurance companies notify beneficiaries of life insurance policies of the options available to them in writing. This bill has bee sent to the Senate Commerce & Labor Committee http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?111+com+S2.
HB 1721 will make the adoption of Urban Development Areas by localities optional rather than mandatory. This bill should be sent to the Senate Local Governments Committee http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?111+com+S7.
HB 2236 will authorize the State Treasuerer to mint commemorative coins for sale by the Commonwealth as a means of raising funds for the Commonwealth. This bill will likely be sent to the Senate General Laws Committee http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?111+com+S12.
Please contact your Senators and the members of the Senate committees to ask them to support these bills.
- Bob

WASHINGTON – Virginia state Delegate Robert G. Marshall has introduced legislation to study whether the Commonwealth should make the preparations now to switch suddenly to an alternative currency in the event of an implosion of the Federal Reserve System and the destruction of the dollar.
House Joint Resolution 557 is another piece of a growing movement among state legislators who are concerned about the dollar’s demise. Ten states have considered similar bills, recommending a return to some form of a commodity-based currency, using either silver or gold.

Delegate Marshall’s Floord Speech on his MERS Bill
I introduced HB 1506 to require banks to maintain up-to-date records on Virginia home loans with county Clerks of Courts rather than with a private bank run database (Mortgage Electronic Registration System-MERS) which is losing track of mortgage records and operates without oversight.
HB 1506 will come up this Monday in a House of Delegates Courts Subcommittee. It has nationwide implications for up to 65 million homeowners who bought their homes since 1997.
Powerful Wall Street Banking interests oppose my records transparency bill! Inaction by the General Assembly in 2011 will amount to another bail out of Wall Street gamblers who expect taxpayers to finance their investment “habits.”
If you are thinking your title insurance protects you, be aware that these policies were issued without taking into account the potential number of homes that might have flawed titles. Your title cannot be protected if your Title Insurance Company fails.

A bipartisan coalition of legislators is seeking sweeping changes to state foreclosure laws aimed at protecting homeowners and tightening record-keeping practices.
In a rare joint appearance Monday, Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, Sen. A. Donald McEachin, D-Henrico, Del. Robin A. Abbott, D-Newport News, and Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax City held a news conference to address a package of foreclosure bills.
Perhaps the highest profile of those is Marshall’s, which would require that mortgage transfers be recorded in local land records and that investors and lenders file documents there before foreclosing.
