Remember to Vote, November 8th!

The election is this Tuesday, November 8th! Please remember to vote! There are three days left before Tuesday's election, and I wanted to update you on a few important developments. Fighting Obamacare News broke yesterday that Delegate Bob Marshall and I filed briefs in support of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in stopping Obamacare.  You can read about it here. My opponent, Democrat Shawn Mitchell, who has previously stated he "absolutely supports Barack Obama," attacked me for this, calling the effort to stop Obamacare from destroying the economy "a frivolous lawsuit." The American people overwhelmingly oppose Obamacare, and anyone who dismisses it as "frivolous" is clearly out of touch. Voters will have a clear choice on Election Day. I will fight against overreaching government takeovers of the private sector and will work for policies that promote job grown --- not those that hurt our economy. Labor Unions Enter the Race My opponent has benefited greatly from labor unions which have poured tens of thousands of dollars into his campaign. The labor unions have seen big handouts from the Obama administration, even when everyday Americans are struggling to find a job. Now the unions want my opponent to help overturn Virginia's Right to Work laws and force the Metro to Dulles Extension project to operate under a Project Labor Agreement (PLA), which would prohibit any contractor that is not a union contractor from working on the Metro expansion.  This would eliminate any real competition and add hundreds of millions of dollars to the cost of the project. That would guarantee higher tolls for commuters. We can't let that happen. The cost of this project has already increased dramatically. Government should be frugal with taxpayers' money. We can't let my opponent take more money out of our pockets, just so he can pay off his union donors. Positive Ideas vs. Negative Smears During these past months I have campaigned on a positive message of creating jobs and growing the economy. I have talked about the need for energy independence which will bring jobs and transportation funding to Virginia. I have talked about keeping taxes low by controlling government spending. I am ready to go to Richmond and work with Governor Bob McDonnell to keep Virginia one of the best places to do business in the Country. In contrast, my democratic opponent has focused all of his attention on spreading lies and distortions to scare voters. Instead of giving people a reason to vote for him, he has decided to spend all of his time and money trying to scare voters into voting against me. Here is a sample of his most recent attacks: My opponent has accused me of not debating him, despite the fact that we have debated three times and he backed out of attending two other candidate forums --- including the largest ever Loudoun County debate, which was held at Cornerstone Chapel. My opponent accused me of not releasing a 2nd Amendment survey to his campaign, even though he refused to fill out their survey at all. My opponent has accused me of lying about his relationship with his previous employer, Parrish Services, claiming his boss said nice things about him. Mitchell's last boss did say kind things about him until he had to sue Mitchell for stealing the company's most valuable property. For Mitchell to defend his reprehensible actions by quoting his bosses kind remarks before the alleged theft is the height of dishonesty. To be clear, his former employer has never said any kind words about him since the lawsuit. In fact, he has endorsed my candidacy in this race and donated most generously to my campaign. My opponent even accused me of supporting spousal rape! But I am the only legislator who had ever successfully prosecuted a case of spousal rape, and Democrat Mitchell conveniently failed to mention that, after I discussed the bill on the floor, I then voted to make spousal rape illegal in Virginia My opponent's desperation to win at any costs took his campaign to depths never seen in local politics. My opponent mailed voters a photo depicting a woman in a hospital gown with her feet in stirrups, about to have an abortion. This outraged voters, demonstrating that there isn't a level Shawn Mitchell won't stoop to. While I've focused exclusively on Jobs and the economy, Shawn Mitchell has focused almost exclusively on advocating his radical social views. Despite these daily attacks, my campaign has been knocking on doors and reaching out to voters to help get out the vote on Tuesday. But we need your help. Please join me in this historic election on November 8th. Join me in declaring that politics of fear and hate will not win the day. Join me in supporting a positive, pro-business platform that will put Virginians back to work. I need your help to change the direction we are headed. Please volunteer for two or more hours on Election Day.

My opponent is desperate; he will stop at nothing so we must have every single person out on Nov. 8th. Be a part of the solution and return the power to the people. Together we can send a message --- America is the greatest nation on earth and we will fight to take it back! # # # http://www.dickblack4senate.com/ | PAID FOR BY BLACK FOR SENATE Black For Senate Leesburg, Va Website and Email Designed by DesignB Studios (www.designbstudios.com) AquaPonics Grow Vegetables without Dirt.
