Mike Stark is being attacked relentlessly by George Allen simply for asking a question of his Senator. Mr. Allen obviously believes he is above questioning from ordinary Virginians. I'd like to see that changed. But I'm going to need some help.
George Allen is my Senator. He's let me know on a number of occasions how he disagrees with my views. He's always been civil in his letters. Right now I'm worried that I won't be able to talk to my Senator because of his busy schedule. However, he's going to be in my area today! So I'd like to ask him a few questions. You know like:
Mr. Allen, why does your website accuse a military veteran (who is also your constituent) of "verbal assault" simply for asking a question of a public servant? Are you above answering questions from your constituents?
and
Mr. Allen, why were members of your campaign staff physically assaulting a military veteran for exercising his constitutionally protected right to free speech? Should we bring our troops home from Iraq to fight for freedom at your campaign stops?
I think we should all stand with Mike Stark and any Kossacks in Virginia should angrily demand our Senator answer our questions. His campaign schedule for today is mostly in Northern Virginia. Here's today's stops:
11:00 am - 11:45 am
Dell Webb Active Adult Community/ Grand Opening Marble Head Drive
Intersection of Marble Head Drive and Western Gails Road
(Loudoun County Parkway)
East of Ashburn Village, Virginia
12:15 pm - 1:15 pm

2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

TrafficLand Demonstration and Briefing
11208 Waples Mill Rd.
Fairfax, Virginia
They're only announcing two days in advance, so it's tight scheduling. It really only needs to be one or two people per press event, but preferably at least two. Two makes for a bigger scene, a bigger response and a chance for press coverage. There should be cameras there, but if anyone has a videocamera that would help as well. Regardless, there should be a Webb tracker there no matter what.
6 days to go. Let's make sure George Allen can't have a press event or appearance that goes well. Do it for Mike!
