For Democrats and Democrat Socialists: "The Founders knew that a democracy would lead to some kind of tyranny. The term democracy appears in none of our Founding documents. Their vision for us was a Republic and limited government." - Walter E. Williams "Most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." -Walter E. Williams "(F)or 50 years, the well-meaning leftist agenda has been able to do to blacks what Jim Crow and harsh discrimination could never have done: family breakdown, illegitimacy and low academic achievement." ~ Walter E. Williams “You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.” -Thomas Sowell “Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.... Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea -- in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders.”-Thomas Sowell "When the history of the 20th century is finally written, one of its key features will be the wanton slaughter of more than 170 million people, not in war, but by their own government. The governments that led in this slaughter are the former USSR (65 million) and the Peoples Republic of China (35-40 million). The point to remember is that these governments were the idols of America's leftists. Part of the reason for these and other tyrannical successes was because the people were first disarmed." -Walter E. Williams "Democracy and liberty are not the same. Democracy is little more than mob rule, while liberty refers to the sovereignty of the individual." -Walter E. Williams "There are people in need of help. Charity is one of the nobler human motivations. The act of reaching into one's own pockets to help a fellow man in need is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into someone else's pocket is despicable and worthy of condemnation." -Walter E. Williams

My name George Craig and I live in Winchester,, VA. I am writing in favor of HB 8 and ask for your support and "yes" vote. It is important for Virginia to be prepared when there is an Article V convention called and to ensure the commissioner sent follow the limitation of their authority. Thank you.

I am writing in strong support of HJ20 and to thank Delegate Glass for introducing legislation that centers people — not just property — in Virginia’s response to sea level rise. As flooding and rising waters increasingly threaten homes across the Commonwealth, too many low-income, elderly, Black, Indigenous, and rural families face the risk of losing generational land. For many, this land represents far more than a physical structure; it is a source of cultural identity, family history, stability, and the primary form of intergenerational wealth. When disaster strikes, families are often left with few options beyond unsafe conditions, debt, or buyouts that undervalue their property and sever long-standing community ties. HJ20 is important because it recognizes that conversations about “managed retreat” must be rooted in justice, dignity, and informed choice. Without intentional planning, climate adaptation strategies can unintentionally repeat historic patterns of displacement that have already harmed vulnerable communities across Virginia. Studying equitable approaches now gives us the opportunity to do better. I strongly support this bill’s focus on exploring best practices, cost-sharing models, and community-scale planning strategies that protect homeowners while reducing long-term disaster recovery costs for the state. Proactive investment in flood mitigation, nature-based solutions, and voluntary relocation options is not only more humane — it is fiscally responsible and essential to building long-term resilience. HJ20 honors the elders who built these communities and acknowledges that true stewardship of the land must include protecting the people connected to it. I urge the General Assembly to advance this important resolution and ensure that Virginia’s climate response does not leave its most vulnerable residents behind.
