I oppose any legislation that would prohibit legal American citizens from having to vote in person. There should be one day to vote and no mail-in ballots except for military personnel overseas, travelers, and elderly. There must be legal voter identification requirements everywhere. This is Not discrimination! Masks, hijabs, and niqabs must be taken off. In the Middle East faces must be shown in banks , etc . Stop Gerrymandering that is not justice, equitable, and illegal. Dems need to stop the steal, fraud, and corruption because it is not “Democracy.”

I SUPPORT HB 505 bill. Elected officials should not be able to be employed by the same locality which they oversee. The potential for self dealing and conflict of interest is far to high. We don't allow it for school board members, why do we allow it for elected officials?

I support HB505. No one should be their boss' boss.

Last Name: Shields Locality: Purcellville

As a resident of Purcellville, VA, I fully support HB505. The past 14 months of actions by the Purcellville town council largely stem from issues arising from conflict of interests due to the Vice Mayor’s former employment with the town, and the now suspended town manager’s former term as mayor. Due to these conflicts, we have a police department that has lost highly qualified employees, remains without a permanently appointed chef of police, and our town faces multiple lawsuits with potential liability into the tens of millions with potentially more lawsuits pending. Prohibiting elected officers from also being employed by the body which they oversee is common sense legislation and ensures that no elected officer is able to self deal or otherwise influence legislation to their own benefit.

I oppose this bill. TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE IT RIGHT. How disrespectful Mrs. Louise Lucas cussing out others who disagree. She allowed destruction, looting, vandalism, and violence to happen. Today’s Democrats have lost their way especially during Biden’s tyrannical presidency.

I am opposed to any all bill that make it easier to cheat in elections like these bills being presented. I am opposed to any and all bills that make same sex marriage acceptable. I am opposed to any and all bills that allow full term abortion and allow minors to have abortions with out the parents knowledge. I am opposed to any and all bills that would allow minors to undergo transgender surgery . I am opposed to any and all bills that will raise taxes while the politicians are trying to give themselves a 150% increase no that is not acceptable.

Oppose Democrats and Socialists forcing gerrymandering in Virginia. We know that the left is trying to get power. We know the illegal aliens are one source for getting democratic votes. What happened to following the Rule of Law in America and following it without causing chaos, lockdowns, destruction, propaganda, riots, censoring, spying, fraudulent schemes, mail in ballots, and other forms of corruption?
