"Groups expecting to hold events on Lobby Day were told that their applications were denied Tuesday, as Virginia’s Department of General Services plans to close Capitol Square “in the coming days” to prepare for any potential civil unrest in Richmond." https://www.wavy.com/news/politics/virginia-politics/lobby-day-events-canceled-as-dgs-plans-to-close-capitol-square-ahead-of-potential-unrest/ |

The problem with the caravan is it will be ignored or used to brand more good ole boy propoganda, or worse a predicted route for a bad event. Additionally, you will be on a list of future interest. What's the upside/objective? Regrouping is not weakness....it's actually a discipline that we may not have. |

View Quote So what can we do instead? VCDL is already declared as a hate group of the left. I believe Moms Demand calls VCDL a terrorist group. That's a new favorite word by the left, "extremist terrorist groups" to describe anyone with a different idea. |

NEWS RELEASE: RICHMOND – In preparation for possible demonstrations around Richmond over the next week, and in light of the civil unrest in the nation’s capital on Jan. 6, the Department of General Services is implementing precautionary measures to protect the employees, visitors, buildings and grounds at historic Capitol Square.
DGS will implement the following changes: Capitol Square will be closed Thursday, Jan. 14, through at least Thursday, Jan. 21. Steps will be taken to enhance security for critical infrastructure, including installing additional fencing and fortifying buildings in and adjacent to Capitol Square, beginning Wednesday, Jan. 13. Access to all DGS-controlled buildings will be restricted from Saturday, Jan. 16 through Thursday, Jan. 21. The move comes after an FBI bulletin about “armed protests” planned for all 50 state capitals in the days leading up to the inauguration. At least one pro-gun group, the Virginia Citizens Defense League, is planning to protest on Lobby Day but emphasize it will be a peaceful demonstration. |

View Quote You keep repeating the same thing over and over in multiple threads. If you are not interested in participating then why do you feel the need to read and repeatedly comment on every lobby day thread? |
