What would it take to organize a recall of our two Senators?
They vote in direct opposition of the will of the people of Virginia and yet we do nothing to shut them down. Virginia beat every single gun bill this year yet we allow our representatives to sit in Washington and vote the exact opposite of how this state and its citizens vote. This system of government is broken. |

Quoted: No sitting congressman or senator has ever been successfully recalled. Ever. Yeah, but until Roger Bannister, no one had ever broken the 4 minute mile. I'm willing to participate in an exercise in futility. It's not like I'm doing anything else that has any useful effect politically.  What I'm lacking is ideas. It is still way too soon to move to the shooting portion of the program. |

We'll be more successful getting behind McDonnell to beat Warner in 2014. Yeah this. McDonnell is a popular gov. Warner was a popular gov and is seen as being a "moderate" it will be a tough fight to get him out of his seat. I would be happy to support something that would get obamas chode licker Kaine out of the senate. Warner and Kaine both rode obamas coat tails into their seat. Without obama on the ticket they wont have it as easy next time. |

Clearly, not in the issues concerning the Second Amendment as everything that has been brought up at the Federal level has been brought up at the state level. |

Quoted:
The only way a sitting US senator can be removed from office is by a 2/3 vote of the senate. There is no recall process other than voting them out every 6 years. Read the constitution, its all in there. The process spade describes is for state officials. Read it a few times thanks. Obama wants change, let's give him something we can believe in. |

Quoted:
Recalls are really really hard in VA. You get the signatures and then it goes before a judge who decides if the legislators have committed a crime. Perjury during the oath of office where they swear to support and defend the Constitution? I wonder if that'd be OK. We seriously need to fire the two fucks we've got now. |

Gov McDonnel has done more for VA gun owners than any previous govenor that I know of.... All of that and gave them a 4 billion dollar tax increase. Moot point anyway as I am guessing he will want to play in presidential politics next. |
