Here's a brand new Alert about two upcoming special elections in Virginia, just announced by Gov. McDonnell. House District 26 (Harrisonburg) and House District 27 (Richmond) are open seats, now that the incumbents have been appointed to posts by the Governor. This is a brief AP article that just came out today: http://wjz.com/wireapnewsva/McDonnell.sets.June.2.1646495.html
Since this is my last day as a Virginia resident, I won't be physically here to help with these elections in the days ahead. But I will continue to provide on-line support, just as I do for bikers in any state who are fighting the helmet law.
So with that in mind, a couple of volunteers - one for each race - would really be appreciated with 1) finding out who the candidates are, and then 2) finding out where they stand on the helmet law. Then it's just a matter of connecting campaign volunteers to biker-friendly candidates.
I will post all updates I receive to the ELECTIONS page at RIDE2REPEAL.COM, listed under "Virginia Races."
Political power comes from the ability to win races, and we have that power in our hands -- right now. The last couple of special elections we lost by a handful of votes, for lack of volunteers. But that also means we have the ability to tip a race in our favor, if only we stand up for biker-friendly candidates -- when it counts.
I'm happy to support anyone who wants to get involved. Thanks for your time and consideration.

PS: This Alert was also being sent to WV bikers, since House District 26 is practically surrounded by West Virginia. A cross-border opportunity awaits!
