The Cuccinelli Campaign - Week in review by The Cuccinelli Campaign

Dear Catherine -- 

This past week was a great and exciting one for our campaign that kicked off with an important endorsement from the political arm of the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC).  After conducting in person interviews featuring a thorough review of each candidate’s platform and proposals, the group determined that Ken’s experience and command of the issues are what Virginia needs.  They agreed that Ken’s substantive economic plan to create 58,000 new, good paying jobs and lower taxes on both individuals and businesses is the best approach for Virginia’s future.  Hearing the news, Ken was thrilled saying that, “NVTC is one of the premier business organizations in America” and that he was grateful for their support.

On Friday, Ken took a strong stand against President Obama’s new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations that effectively ban the production of new coal-fired plants in Southwest Virginia or anywhere else.  These new rules are more than just a threat to affordable energy that heats our homes and fuels our economy; they are the latest escalation in the war on coal that has and will continue to devastate entire communities and hike electricity rates for families and businesses across the Commonwealth.  Ken has a proven record of standing up for Virginia. As Attorney General, he teamed up with the Democrat-controlled Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to fight the EPA and won.  As Ken said yesterday, he’s “the only candidate in this race who has fought to protect Virginia jobs and sensible energy policy that keeps electricity costs manageable,” and he’ll continue to do that as Governor.

Also this week, Florida Republicans Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio joined Ken on the campaign trail.  Former Governor Bush talkedabout Ken’s bold plan to give parents more options so that no child is stuck in a failing school, and he got it right when he said that “Ken is exactly the type of solid principled leader Virginia needs to grow the economy, create jobs and ease burdens on middle class families.”  In Richmond, Senator Rubio spoke about what’s at stake in this year’s election and contrasted Ken’s strong support of free enterprise and limited government with his opponent.

With that in mind, and the election is just six weeks away, now is the time for all of Ken’s supporters to rally together for one big push to help us cross the finish line.  Ken has spent his entire career fighting for Virginia, now it’s time for you to fight for him. 

Here’s are few actions you can take to help Ken secure victory on November 5^th: 

• Knock on 100 doors
• Find ten people and convince them to vote for Ken
• Share Ken’s substantive policy proposals with friends and family
• Volunteer at one of our call centers 

This has been a great week, but we have a lot of work to do to spread Ken’s positive message across the Commonwealth.  We need your help to keep the momentum going.  It’s absolutely critical in the final weeks. 

This week promises to be another exciting one!  The Fairfax Chamber of Commerce debate is Wednesday night, September 25^th, and we will be live streaming it via our website.  Stay tuned for more details, but mark your calendars now to tune in and watch Ken as he makes his case for why he’s the best choice to be Virginia’s next Governor. 

Have a great rest of your weekend. 

Sincerely, 

The Cuccinelli Campaign

REPLY Okay.

58,000 jobs is next to nothing. And in exactly what fields are we talking? Where are these jobs coming from? Or must the plan be secretive so that McAuliffe cannot steal it?

VA already has some of the lowest business taxes in the country. At the same time many, many communities in the state are having to raise local taxes in order to pay for their most basic needs. These are small communities with a small economic base to begin with. I understand that you're anti-socialist, but at some point the "haves" have got to contribute to the well being of the "have nots". I think that the businesses in Arlington are more than capable of handing over a few pennies so that Hayes can have a fire department.

As for children being "stuck in failing schools", how is that flying carpet technology coming along? Because you seem to be expecting poor families to magically be able to get their children to and from the good schools (transportation problems). Also, are you working on a magical expansion spell? Because the good schools aren't able to accept an unlimited number of students. Kids aren't chickens and need a minimum amount of elbow room. Also, will we be importing teachers from outer space? Or do you think that even if transportation and space weren't the problem, one teacher would do a great job teaching a class of 500 kindergartners?

The solution isn't to get kids out of failing schools. The solution is to get the parents who care about their own kids to also step up and care about the neighbors kids. And when you start giving the parents who care a way out of the failing schools all you're going to be left with is a school full of kids whose parents DON'T care.
