Dear Virginia,
We conducted three forums last week for the three state-wide races - Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. We were honored to have had these candidates give their time so that we could share their visions with the voters.
Specifically, we asked them what they thought was their unique quality to get them across the finish line in November and whether or not they will work together after the convention. Trust me this is the forum where you get to know who these candidate actually are.
One of our goals is to break down the gates of the gate-keepers to get all the information about the candidates out to the voters BEFORE the convention.
Some of the candidates have a lot of money to spend trying to buy your vote. It is our belief that most voters today are less interested in who can buy the nomination and want a winner who can rally the base and mobilize the grassroots to bring a victory in November. They also have to be able to galvanize the voters to come out for our House of Delegate races.
Becoming a Delegate
Delegates are not "bound" in Virginia, you do not have to be a delegate for a specific candidate, so you don't have to have decided yet. There is also no limit to the number of voters/delegates for this convention. All you have to do is register.
1. Anyone can vote (also called "be a delegate") this year.
2. Get your voter ID number here.
3. Fill out the form (from the link above) and take/email it/fill out their online form but get it to your local GOP committee (go here to find out where that is).
4. Do it TODAY because there are deadlines.
The convention sites can also be provided by the local committees once they are all identified and Chasing Freedom - Virginia will be publishing all the locations as well. Watch our website.
Politics is a participation sport - Our vetting boards will be starting soon. If you want to hep us with these interviews, sign up to be a member of a vetting board. If you want to be able to vote for endorsement with us on the 24th of April please sign up to be a member.
If you like what we are doing please donate. All donations go to getting information out to voters so that we can elect conservatives in November.
Your servant,
Tom Speciale

We are an open community organization of Virginia citizens and common cause interest groups. We follow a policy of non-alignment with regard to any specific political party. Our members are dedicated to preserving and promoting our individual rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as envisioned by our nation's founders.
Our Goals
• Serve as a unified voice in Virginia for grassroots activists and organizations.
• Mobilize "the People" of Virginia in the defense of conservative values.
• Be a trusted source of information on civics and Virginia politics.
• Vet, approve, endorse, and support conservative candidates across Virginia.
We believe in the brilliance of our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the framework contained therein for the preservation and promotion of our social welfare and the common good of all Virginia citizens. With this understanding we plan to passionately reinvigorate civic responsibility and restore "of, by and for the people" to its rightful place in our Republic.
We believe...
• THE CONSTITUTION is the Law of the Land. Our individual rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; as enshrined in the Bill of Rights, serve to limit the government as intended by the Founders.
• RELIGIOUS LIBERTY is a cornerstone of our Constitution and must be protected as an inalienable human right.
• THE 2nd AMENDMENT, serves to protect The People against domestic and foreign oppression and must be protected as an inalienable human right.
• All citizens, in order to realize their fullest potential, are entitled to EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL JUSTICE, and EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, not equal outcomes.
• THE FAMILY is the most essential and most empowering organization in our shared human existence.
• ALL LIFE IS PRECIOUS and must be protected.
• THE FREE ENTERPRISE system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice. Fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraint must be exercised by all levels of government.
• PEACE is preserved through a STRONG NATIONAL DEFENSE.
• GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY is essential to maintain trust and faith with The People.
• OUR HISTORY and the associated memoria serve as guideposts in our journey as a Nation, to serve as reminders of our shared sacrifices and as warnings to future generations.
