Voter Fraud in Harrisonburg

Dear Robert, Today's Washington Post headline: "He fought in World War II. He died in 2014. And he just registered to vote in Va." According to the article, a JMU student in Harrisonburg registered 19 dead Virginians to vote in the 2016 election.  Read it by clicking here. This follows on a TV news report of a long-dead voters who have nonetheless cast ballots in Colorado. Virginia is a battleground state, and every vote is important. In the General Assembly, I have long supported the photo ID requirement and other voter fraud bills. Election crimes like that in Harrisonburg prove these laws are needed. You'd think honest elections would receive bipartisan support, but Terry McAuliffe vetoed an absentee ballot measure in 2015 and Attorney General Mark Herring refused to defend Virginia's photo ID law against a lawsuit funded by George Soros. Virginia taxpayers had to pay private lawyers $600,000 in taxpayer money to do the job Herring was elected to do, and the case is still being considered by the federal court. Enough!  Stand against voter fraud – sign the online petition by clicking here.

Franklin Graham in Richmond-Life Chain in Williamsburg

96th District, Virginia House of Delegates                                      September 26, 2016 Stay Connected!         www.BrendaPogge.com Contact Delegate Pogge Mailing Address  P.O. Box 196 Norge, VA 23127 Phone: 757-223-9690 DelBPogge@house.virginia.gov    Legislative Aide Amanda Johnston Amanda@brendapogge.com If you live in the Williamsburg area and believe in the sanctity of all human life, please join me this Sunday, October 2nd from 2:00 to 3:15pm at the 4th annual "Life Chain."  The "Life Chain" held nationally on Respect Life Sunday is a prayer chain and public witness against abortion and in favor of life.    This is not a protest but an event to focuse on prayer. The chain will be held on the sidewalk facing Richmond Road starting at Centerville Road. Led by St. Olaf Catholic Church, pro-lifers of all faiths are invited to join in silent prayer and hold signs attesting to the "Truth" that abortion kills children. Franklin Graham coming to Richmond for the  Decision America Tour In just a few weeks, I will be in Richmond for the Decision America Tour prayer rally. Will you and your church be there to stand with me at the Capitol? Wednesday, October 12 12:00-1:00 p.m. Capitol Grounds Our nation's moral foundation is crumbling, and as our culture tries to remove God from public view and silence His Word, we must continue to share the Good News and take a stand for religious freedom and God's truth. That's why Franklin Graham will be in Richmond-and every other state capital in 2016. Our nation needs to turn to God, and it begins with His people, the church. We must confess our sins as individuals-and as a nation-and call on God to heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14). I hope you will join me and invite others to come with you-bring your children or fill a van from your church. Even if you have to drive across the state, it will be worth it to stand together and pray for our nation at this critical time. For more information, go to decisionamericatour.com. Also, there will be a pre-rally prayer meeting in House Room 3 of the state capitol next Saturday, October 1st from 9:30-11:00am.  Please try to attend if you are able. Sincerely, Brenda L. Pogge P.S. If your church is participating or bringing a bus or if you would like to volunteer at the rally, please let my husband, Roger know by emailing him at roger@familyfoundation.org.  He is the state volunteer captain for Virginia.   Paid for and Authorized by Brenda Pogge for Delegate

FW Newsletter: Checks and Balances on the Executive Branch

Checks and Balances on the Executive Require That the IRS Chief Be Impeached - Adam Brandon via The Daily Caller The Republican leadership in Congress, such as it is, appears to be more afraid of what the liberal Washington Post editorial and op-ed pages will say about them if they impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen than they are of allowing another of Congress’ constitutional prerogatives — in this case, checks and balances on executive-branch impropriety — to be emasculated. What possible reason other than fear of being badmouthed by Post editorial writers — and perhaps being disinvited from the Georgetown cocktail-party circuit — can there be for their not pursuing articles of impeachment against Koskinen in connection with the IRS’ targeting for improper scrutiny of conservative groups seeking nonprofit tax-exempt status because of their political beliefs? Read more here... Grinding Westerners Under the Federal Boot - by Ken Cuccinelli via The Washington Times The federal government owns an estimated one-third of all the land in the United States. But this is only a rough estimate, because even the federal government does not actually know how much land it controls. For those living on the East Coast who rarely encounter federal land, this may not seem like an important issue, but in western states, the vast amounts of land owned or controlled by the federal government are among the most important issues that states must face. And the Obama administration is using the power of that land ownership to grind westerners under the federal boot, a kind of neo-feudalism where an absentee landlord federal government keeps western states and the citizens who live there as vassals and serfs. Read more here... FreedomWorks' Book Club Spotlight: "Our Lost Constitution: The Willful Subversion of America's Founding Document" In Our Lost Constitution, Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-known stories behind six of the Constitution’s most indispensable provisions. He shows their rise. He shows their fall. And he makes vividly clear how nearly every abuse of federal power today is rooted in neglect of this Lost Constitution. Get your copy here... Conservative Groups Oppose Export-Import Bank Lifeline - via The Hill Three dozen conservative groups on Friday urged Republican leaders in Congress to reject efforts to restore the Export-Import Bank to full power using a stopgap spending bill. “We have significant concerns on the procedure,” the groups said in the letter to Senate Majority Leader McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).  "Attaching this quorum change to a continuing resolution is the latest in a line of efforts that subvert congressional processes,” the groups wrote. Read more here... Cutting Taxes: Trump v. Clinton - by Ted Abram Recently, Larry Kudlow, news anchor and economic commentator, reminded us that in the 1960’s, then-President John F. Kennedy reduced taxes and our economy flourished. According to Kudlow, the economy increased by “roughly 5 percent yearly for nearly eight years.” In 1978, Arthur Laffer, an economics professor at the University of Chicago at the time, reasoned that lower taxes would collect more revenue because of increased productivity benefiting everyone with more jobs, money as well as goods and services. Laffer explained that pro-growth incentives propel work and employment. Read more here... The Secret Tool the FDA Uses to Control News Reports About Its Decisions - via Reason The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), apparently not satisfied with exerting a considerable and often wildly inappropriate amount of control over what people can put in their bodies, has also taken extraordinary and secretive steps to control what sorts of information people can read about the agency's decisions. To understand how the FDA controls news about its policies, you have to understand news embargoes, in which a source agrees to provide information if reporters agree to hold the news until a specific time. Read more here... Institutions Steven Horwitz explains how political and legal institutions provide the framework within which all human behavior takes place. The way contracts are enforced, property is protected, and markets are regulated create incentives and channel action in different ways. In this way, institutions play a large role in determining a society’s success - or failure. Watch it here... Stealth Regulation: Regulation by Any Other Name Is Just as Sour - by Kenny Stein When the media and the public think about the term “regulation” they tend to think about official rules issued by agencies after going through the standard multi-year regulatory process. This process, governed by the Administrative Procedure Act, is designed to be transparent and public, allowing potentially affected parties to engage in the development of the rule though comments, hearings, and other less formal discussions. But this formal, open process is not the only way the administrative state regulates. There are huge classes of administrative actions which together create a category of stealth regulation; regulation from the shadows that is difficult to challenge, difficult to keep track of, and often difficult to know how to even comply with. Stealth regulation goes by many names: guidance, executive order, executive memorandum, consent decree, compliance policy guide, manual, notice of permit approval, dear colleague letter. And that’s just to name a few. Each of these documents is issued unilaterally by an executive branch entity and includes instructions, sometimes couched merely as suggestions, on how citizens should comply with will of regulators. For many of types of stealth regulation, regulated entities are not technically legally required to follow the guidelines they contain. However, each “suggestion” is backed by an implicit threat: failure to follow can be met with severe regulatory harassment. Read more here... $3500 Lemonade Stand: How Government Regulation Stifles Entrepreneurialism - via The Houstonian It seems like a sweet, all-American story: A cute little girl starts a lemonade stand to earn money to buy a bike, or to take Dad to the waterpark for Father’s Day – and is shut down for lacking overpriced permits. There’s the little girl who tried to sell mistletoes a few years ago to help pay for her braces and was told no, that it was illegal, but she could beg for the money instead.  These stories have been all over the news, and they outrage the public – as well they should, with that big, bad government picking on little girls selling lemonade. We are outraged because the idea is ridiculous when taken to this extreme. This situation and more is also taking place in the grown-up business world, too. Read more here...
