UCV Meeting Recap

I made it to my first UCV meeting last night. I wasn't sure quite what to expect, but there seemed to be a good turnout. Rob Whitney from Americans for Prosperity was there discussing what AFP is all about. They are definitely a good group. In the short time they have been in existence in Virginia they have educated quite a few people and made a lot of noise. In fact, they are already being criticized by the liberal media, so you know they are doing things right.

One of the big things happening right now with AFP is their No Tax Hike Petition. If you have not already done so, fill it out, and encourage others to do the same. Taxes aren't the only issue AFP is concerned with. They are also concerned with personal property rights, education, transportation, and medicaid. All issues that need attention and reform.

In addition to their own AFP blog, Rob Whitney and Whitney Duff also contribute to the Cost Cutting Caucus blog. The Cost Cutting Caucus is an excellent group chaired by Del. Chris Saxman. From the blog - the Cost Cutting Caucus is a non-partisan, bicameral group that works to find cost savings in state government, and make government more efficient, transparent, accountable and competitive.

I was favorably impressed to hear about all AFP-VA have accomplished since August.

Rob Whitney is an intelligent, personable guy and we greatly appreciate his stopping by last night.

I believe AFP is going to make a huge difference in the struggle to get our state spending under control and am willing to support their efforts.
