Flora Foray at New Quarter Park on April 6 to Celebrate New Book

March 27, 2013   

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Donna Ware, curator emeritus of the College of William and Mary herbarium and Flora of Virginia Project member, will lead a Flora Foray at New Quarter Park on Saturday, April 6, from
10 a.m. to 12 noon. The Flora Foray will celebrate the publication of Flora of Virginia, a landmark botanical reference book which describes 3,164 plant species and natural variants growing wild in the diverse habitats of the Old Dominion. After discussing the Flora of Virginia, Ware will lead a foray through New Quarter Park's forests and ravines to find living specimens of some native Virginia plants described in the Flora. 

More than 10 years in the making, the Flora is the first comprehensive catalog of Virginia plants since Flora Virginia, published in 1762, when the Commonwealth was still a colony and the Virginia landscape was dominated by the American Chestnut tree.

The Flora Foray is part of New Quarter Park's 2013 Saturdays in the Park education and recreation program series. The 545-acre park includes diverse mature forest, ravine, and wetland habitats.
New Quarter Park is located in upper York County at 1000 Lakeshead Drive, next to the Queens Lake neighborhood. For more information, call York County Parks and Recreation (Monday to Friday, 757-890-3513) or New Quarter Park (Friday to Sunday, 757-890-5840).

Governor Signs Several Bills Supported by TFF!

Governor Signs Several Bills Supported by TFF!

 

Governor Bob McDonnell has signed several bills that were supported by The Family Foundation this year!

 

Our top legislative priority in 2013 protects the freedom of association and religious liberty rights of student groups on public college campuses.  These bills, patroned by Senator Mark Obenshain (R-26, Harrisonburg) and Delegate Todd Gilbert (R-15, Woodstock), simply ensure that student groups can set their own criteria for membership and leadership and not be discriminated against simply because a university doesn’t like the content of their speech.  The bills include language ensuring that the groups cannot violate state or federal discrimination laws regarding race, religion, etc. 

 

The Governor also signed bills that affirm that parental rights are fundamental.  The bills, patroned by Senator Bryce Reeves (R-17, Fredericksburg) and Delegate Brenda Pogge (R-96, Yorktown), elevate the common law understanding of parental rights in place in Virginia for 400 years to that of a fundamental right.  While no rights are absolute, courts give special deference to fundamental rights, requiring the state’s “compelling interest” to intervene.   This is especially important since 24 other state courts have reduced parental rights to “ordinary” – a standard more easily trumped by government authorities that attempt to interpose themselves in family decisions.  Distractors continue to make claims about the potential impact of this new law that are simply not accurate.  The state’s authority to protect children who need intervention doesn’t change.

 

The Governor also submitted clarifying amendments to another Family Foundation priority, a bill that removes a serious barrier to helping families in crisis limit the amount of government intrusion while providing opportunity for reunification.  More and more, families are relying on close relatives to help take care of their children during a crisis, using what is called kinship care.  But these relatives often face barriers when trying to enroll the children in their local school, as some school divisions require the relative caregiver to obtain legal custody of the child before enrollment is possible, which requires the action of a court.  SB 960, patroned by Senator George Barker (D-39, Alexandria), allows for the use of a power of attorney, better enabling families to work together through a crisis.  Once the Governor’s amendments are adopted, he will sign the bill into law.

 

The Governor also signed into law HB 1871, patroned by Delegate Jennifer McClellan (D-71, Richmond), defining bullying in our state Code.  This will ensure that state education officials have clear guidance as they develop policies relating to the growing problem of bullying that needs to be addressed in an effective and reasonable manner.  Having a clear definition of bullying will equip school leaders to develop the most effective strategies to keep our kids safe and produce an environment conducive to learning.  The bill includes First Amendment protections to ensure that students cannot be punished for simply voicing an opinion that is unpopular.

 

We appreciate the Governor’s actions on all of these important bills!  You can email him to thank him for his support by clicking here.

YCRC Update: Tues phone banking @ HQ; NO Mass Mtg 3/28

Greetings, Fellow Republicans!

Just a few reminders for you:

 

The Cuccinelli for Governor campaign will be hosting phone banking at our York County HQ this evening from 5 PM to 9 PM, with dinner being served from 5 – 6 PM. Call Cuccinelli Field Director Tim Pogge if you plan to attend: 593-3871!

This phone banking is scheduled to be held every Tuesday from 5 PM – 9 PM at the York County HQ. Please mark your calendars to come out to help get voters fired up to support our Republican candidates! Don’t wait until Election Day to help – that will be too late!

 

We had 103 people turn in the Delegate Pre-File Forms for the RPV State Convention. Since this number is below the authorized number of York County Delegates (670), we will NOT be having the Mass Meeting this Thursday, 28 March, as noted in the Call. All applicants who meet the requirements (registered York County voter, sign to support Republican candidates) will be duly elected as York County Delegates to the RPV State Convention, 17-18 May, in Richmond. For more details, check the Convention info at www.rpv.org . Delegates will be informed when their applications have been checked.

RPV Delegates - no YC Mass Mtg

Good Morning, Fellow Republicans,

 

Thank you for turning in your Delegate Pre-File Forms to attend the 2013 RPV State Convention on 17-18 May 2013. We received 103 Pre-File Forms by the 21 March deadline. Since we did not receive Delegate Pre-File Forms from the maximum number of authorized York County Delegates (670), all applicants who meet the stated qualifications of being a registered York County voter  and signed to support our Republican nominees are hereby elected as delegates, as per the information on the York County Mass Meeting Call. Because of this, we will NOT be having the York County Mass Meeting this coming Thursday, 28 March, as originally scheduled.

 

Once you have been certified as a registered York County voter, I will send email confirmation to you as an authorized York County Delegate to represent York County Republican voters at the 2013 RPV State Convention.

 

As I receive more specific information for Delegates about the RPV State Convention, I will forward that information to you.

For now, you can check out the overall 2013 RPV Convention information at http://www.rpv.org/2013vaconvention and

Delegate information at http://www.rpv.org/conventioninfo  on the RPV website ( www.rpv.org ).

 

I look forward to seeing you all at the RPV State Convention in May!

 

For God and Country,

Lynda

If you are interested in being a part of the panel please let us know, and also feel free to bring in any pictures or memorabilia to show the group. This should be a very touching and meaningful event. Registration will begin May 1.

We Need Your Help!
 
The Peninsula Tea Party, the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation, and the Middle Resolution are conducting an in-depth vetting process in which all Virginia Lt. Governor and Attorney General Candidates have agreed to participate. This process will include in-person interviews (in which you can participate) as well as in-depth questionnaires which have already been answered by each candidate. Chris Doss of the Leadership Institute will conduct the in-person live interviews which will include the same questions for each candidate.The candidates will not have seen the questions in advance and we will score the candidates answers during the live interviews.

 

In years past, when we have had several good candidates we have split our vote among them which often resulted in the least conservative candidate receiving the nomination.We have determined that at this time the Republican Party is the party most likely to produce and elect a conservative candidate to office. This vetting and scoring process is designed to help us coalesce around a single candidate for each office and avoid the split of the conservative vote. In addition, we would like to have a show of force to convince our elected representatives that the conservative movement is active and a force to be reckoned with in their elections and in the legislation they will be introducing and voting upon. This should increase our influence on the legislation and on their votes in the future.

 

We are asking for your help in two major areas. First, we need as many conservatives as possible to sign up as Delegates to the Republican Party of Virginia Convention. Second, we need you to attend the Convention on May 18 in Richmond and vote for the most electable and conservative candidate, hopefully the one our vetting process determines to be that candidate.

 

The Peninsula Tea Party is allowed up to ten people to participate in the scoring of each candidate during the live interviews. The scoring will be done at the time of the live interviews and will take place in Mechanicsville (northeast of Richmond) on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27. (It would be best if the same person could score on both days but we can have different people on either day.) Please let us know if you would like to represent the Peninsula Tea Party and participate in the scoring process.  

 

NOTE: Please be advised that we only have 10 slots for this convention.

Republican Pre-File Forms
 
The first and most important step is to secure the Delegate Pre-file Form for your City or County, fill it out, and submit it before the deadline to your local Republican Committee as specified on the form. (In most cases the Mass Meeting indicated will be canceled and becoming a Delegate will be nearly automatic for those properly filing the Pre-file Form.) Please let us at the Peninsula Tea Party know when you submit your Pre-file Form. We will keep you informed as o the vetting process and results, as well as information about the Convention. All Pre-file Forms can be found at www.rpv.org
under the Calls tab, or at the following links:
  
York County Form: deadline March 21
