FW: VOTE YES TO HB-1160

 

 

From: Senator Dick Black [mailto:district13@senate.virginia.gov]
Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 12:30 AM
To: Mike Prunty
Subject: Re: VOTE YES TO HB-1160

 

Thank you for your message regarding HB1160, the bill that would prevent the unlawful detention of US Citizens.  Senator Black asked me to extend his gratitude for taking the time to contact him on this important issue, your input was essential.  Senator Black supports this measure and is fighting to make sure it passes.

 

Earlier today, there was an attempt to send it back to committee to kill it.  Senator Black voted against sending it back to committee and the attempt failed.   The Senate will take it up again tomorrow and Senator Black will continue fighting for this bill.  I encourage you to contact the other senators, if you haven't already, to give this bill the power it will need to pass.   This bill is vital to protecting Virginians against an overreaching government and it is far from passing unless the public outcry is deafening.

 

Thank you again for your input and for getting involved in the legislative process.  I know Senator Black appreciates you taking the time to contact him.

 

Warm regards,

Michelle Staton

Aide

Senator Dick Black, 13th District

Subject: VOTE YES TO HB-1160

 

Dear Senators,

 

I shall make this very brief. HB 1160 is up for a vote on the floor today. I not only encourage you to vote for it, but resolutely demand it. If you are not aware of the  fervor at the grassroots over this particular assault on our most basic Constitutional rights, then the peril will be yours. I am engaged in the regular monitoring of the grassroots activist rumblings and tremors. And this one is registering on the Richter Scale.

 

If you wish to set off a backlash which will only continue to build through your next election cycle … no matter WHO you are … then do not heed this advice. Anti-incumbent campaign organizing is beginning to form in certain senatorial districts as we speak. This particularly includes Republicans.

 

Please do not make the mistake of voting against this critical bill.

[Peninsula-Patriots] Fw: HB-1160

 
DeWitt Edwards 
"DUTY to my God, Family and Country - HONOR to myself and others - RESPECT to all, who deserve it" 



From: Mike Prunty <mprunty@afpcsf.com>

Subject: HB-1160

Dear Governor McDonnell,
 
Rumors are widely circulated now that you are against protecting Virginia citizens against unlawful and unconstitutional arrest and detention under the National Defense Authorization Act (N.D.A.A.). Let us all hope this is not true!
 
Rumors also abound in your intense interest in being selected as a Vice Presidential candidate.
 
If both of these rumors are indeed true, then they are in direct conflict, as the reaction by Virginia grassroots conservative activists across the entire state to your betrayal of them on the first will be an open campaign of equal or greater intensity against you having any success at the second.
 
I would surely join them.
 
You took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitutions of both Virginia and the United States, Mr. Governor.
 
Now do it.

Senator Jim Webb's Response to Your Message.

February 24, 2012
 
 
 
Mr. Robert Bruce Alexander
615 Carys Chapel Rd.
Yorktown, VA 23693-2509
 
Dear Mr. Alexander:
 
Thank you for contacting my office regarding health insurance coverage of contraceptives.  I appreciate your taking the time to share your views with me.
 
First, I support strict adherence by all levels of government to the establishment clause of the First Amendment and the religious liberties it safeguards. These liberties, as well as the doctrine of separation of church and state, have allowed religion and religious institutions to flourish in our country.
 
With respect to contraceptives, on August 1, 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued new guidelines governing not only contraceptives but other preventive health services for women.  Developed by the independent Institute of Medicine, the guidelines require new health insurance plans to cover women’s preventive services such as well-woman visits, breastfeeding support, domestic violence screening, and contraception without charging a co-payment, co-insurance or a deductible.  HHS proposed to exempt certain religious employers from the new contraceptive requirement.  I understand the deep-seated concerns expressed by millions of Americans that the definition of “religious employer” is too narrow. 
 
            On January 20, 2012, HHS announced that it would not broaden this exemption to allow other employers to refuse to cover contraceptives.  However, employers that do not currently offer their employees contraceptive coverage will be allowed one year to come into compliance with the new requirement. I would encourage you to visit http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=HHS-OS-2011-0023-0002 for more information on the HHS rule.
 
The new HHS guidelines have generated significant opposition from citizens and religious institutions who believe the guidelines unfairly restrict certain religious-based organizations.  In response to this concern, President Obama announced on February 3, 2012 that schools, hospitals and other institutions with religious affiliations would no longer be required to provide mandatory coverage of contraception in their health insurance policies. The cost of such coverage would be assumed by insurance carriers. This change in policy drew praise from many people and organizations – including the Catholic Health Association -- that had heretofore opposed the HHS policy.
 
I will continue to examine this issue closely and will be guided in large measure by the constitutional principles that I described at the outset of this letter. Please be assured that if the Senate considers legislation to modify or overturn the new rules, your views will be very helpful to me.  I hope that you will continue to share your thoughts with me in the future.
           
I would also invite you to visit my website at www.webb.senate.gov for regular updates about my activities and positions on issues that are important to Virginia and our nation.
           
Thank you once again for contacting my office.
Sincerely,
 
Jim Webb
United States Senator
