Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

I saw this idea this morning, can't remember where. Maybe it was here. Anyway, here it is.

From the good folks at the VCDL:

VA-ALERT: An idea when you vote on Tuesday

This is not my idea, but is Jeff Knox's idea: after you vote, place the "I voted" sticker on your gun's grips for the rest of the day - now THAT'S a political statement that will get attention!

The antis are using sleight of hand in their ads to confuse voters. Unless you listen very, very carefully, this ad against Keith Fimian (who is running against anti-gun Gerald Connolly) makes it sound like the non-existent "gun show loophole" allowed Cho to get his gun:

The antis like, and encourage, such confusion. For example, in 1993 they were counting on the public thinking that the "assault weapon ban" dealt with machine guns.

Remember to vote your gun-rights first. Drive your neighbors, friends, and family to the polls if that's what it takes to get them there.

Thanks Jay... knew I saw it somewhere!

Got there at 10AM ,,2 ahead of me..Nice old black lady found my name on the list and gave me my computer card,,Next nice lady asked if I needed to see how the machines work,I replied "I still remember from last time" and was on my way,,.Voted my choice and left..Probably the quietest and smoothest vote ever for me. Got home thinking the damn phone calls would stop due to election. Hell NO the thing has rung 5 times since this morning...

Went to a binniss meeting in the People's Republik of Maryland, then voted at about 1400. Upstanding young man in a VaTech hoodie met me with a Republican sample ballot, no line to swaer in, no line to vote.

There was a constrant stream of Patriots so all were busy, none overwhelmed.

I voted on my way home from work and was in and out in about 5 Minutes, I had read the vcdl article this morning and was looking forward to putting the I voted sticker on my xd, but walked away from polls disappointed as they had no stickers at my polling station.

Jackass councilman wannabe was trying to press palms and tell people to vote for him, right on the line to get in.
Told him to step off.

He didnt listen.

I thought it was illegal to campaign within a certain distance (can't remember) from a polling place?

50 feet?

Over all pretty quite at my polling place today. Only one member from DNC was there and she was handing out sample ballets from the DNC telling you to vote for the atheists AND the 3 amendments on our ballet. Funny the DNC pushing the amendment questions. Turn out was more than I though and more than the pollsters thought not to say is was great, but for here it was good.
It's going to be a good day tater!!!!

I voted, no problems at all, I was #760 something, at 4:15, a line was starting to form and parking lot was filling up as well. Not bad for Clarke county!

Went at about 10:30 this morning with the wife and boy. The way I parked no one could get close to us as we walked in . We were the only voters there at the time. Took about 5 minutes start to finish and more were coming as we left. Boy got a sticker and has been wearing it all day!
Is CC allowed at the polls? The building I vote at is not posted.

Was it a School?

10 people in front of me at 9:30 am. 350 out of 1500 registered in my precinct voted by then in Arlington (the Bedroom of the Beast)

The anticipation is killing me... less than one hour until the polls close.



That's gonna be one sore ass tomorrow morning.

There was actually a chalk line drawn on the sidewalk at the entrance to my polling place where the BS had to stop. Kinda made me chuckle.

Walked in, did my business, walked out.

Why is there always at least one name I've never heard of on the ballots?

Went smooth for me. I voted about 2 weeks ago. I'm calling my congressman, they wouldn't let me vote again today. Told'em I wanted to be like the democrats, vote early and vote often.
