[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how do we stop this at the state and county level?[/quote]

[b]Contact your state legislators and tell them to oppose.
[/b]
Contact Ralph Northam and tell him to oppose.

Fill out the feedback form or send an email to the listed email address with your best arguments why it's a bad idea.

[b]Contact local media outlets and make them aware of this change so more people know about it.
[/b]
[b]Contact the Democratic candidates for governor and see if any of them will oppose. The Rs already do, I believe.[/quote][/b]

Especially the bolded. 
On a FCPS discussion facebook group some people are talking about asking our local SB questions about this or getting assurances from them. Those are useless in my view since this is state-level driven plus whatever assurances our SB gives now could be overridden by mandates from the state and/or replaced by what a new SB thinks that gets elected after this passes at the VA level.

[b]Regrettably I think the biggest thing that needs done is to make state-level Democrats nervous that this could cut into the huge majorities they run up in NOVA to carry the state - and so risk turning VA red in the governor's race and/or next legislature election cycle. Not that NOVA as a whole would go red but they need the overwhelming share up here to offset the super red parts of most of the rest of the state.  [/b]

First quoted PP, and I agree. The Ds need to see that this will impact elections. A bunch of delegates are up this fall, so those people are the most likely to respond to constituent pressure.[/quote]
