(posted 9/25/23) Dear Unit Chairs,
The first day of early voting has arrived. Three quick notes–
1. Remind Everyone to “Secure Your Vote Virginia” by making a plan to vote early. https://secureyourvotevirginia.com/
2. Recall that Poll Watchers must be authorized. I’ve attached a completed authorization signed by Chairman Anderson. If you prefer to make a separate authorization form for yourself to sign for your city or county, I’ve attached a template.
3. The Hotline is open. Party officials and voters are welcome to contact the RPV Election Integrity Hotline by e-mail at help@virginia.gop or by phone on 804-600-4809. More information and an online form are also available at va.protectthevote.com. (I”m always happy to help, but during early voting and on Election Day, you’re likely to get a more prompt response if you use the hotline rather than contacting me directly).
Thanks for all you are doing to flip the Senate, hold the House, and bring in victories in local elections throughout Virginia.
Sincerely,
Chris

(posted 9/25/23) These privilege cards are almost identical to a Virginia driver’s license, election officials might mistakenly accept them as a valid ID that can be used to vote. Be aware & share!
The goal is to make people aware of this possibility and to reinforce that — per the Virginia Department of Elections — these cards are not valid for voting. And that election officials should ask anyone who presents them at the polls for a different form of ID.
- A Virginia Driver’s License is one of several forms of valid identification to present at polling places in order to vote in the Commonwealth.
- A Driver Privilege Card is not a valid ID. (see sample below)
- An Identity Privilege Card is not a valid ID. (see sample below)
- However, both privilege cards are almost indistinguishable from a Virginia Driver’s License — unless a person knows what to watch for.
Do election officials know how to flag these invalid cards? We don’t think so. Early in-person voting begins Friday, Sept. 22. How can we spread the word?

US set for media blackout alarm on October 4th, 2023
Explaining the need behind the decision to trigger an alert on every single mobile device in the nation, FEMA said “The purpose of the Oct. 4 test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level.”
The alarm will begin to sound on each device at 2:20pm ET, and will last for approximately one minute. The message attached to the alert shall read “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
FEMA stated that the test is being undertaken with the cooperation of Radio and TV broadcasters, which suggests that during the minute there will effectively be a media blackout in the country.
Citizens do not need to opt in to receive the alert as it is an automatic process, and you will be able to continue using your phone as normal as soon as it’s finished.

(posted 9/23/23) Hi Jean, Can you attach this pic to BC page and/or MCRC site? Really shows how important it is that Republicans gain control of both the House and Senate in VA!
Thank you! -Mari-

(According to Tom Fotton at Judicial Watch)
Help spread the word that the US Capitol Police & the House’s oversight committee member is set to keep ALL 14,000 Jan 6 videos secret under law as “security information.”
Would J6 defendants INCLUDING PRESIDENT TRUMP have access to this exculpatory info if that is accomplished? What you think? Call your congressmen and senators to share your views at 202-225-3121. The Capitol Police Board could vote on this issue today!
Tell Congressman Wittman it’s time to make some NOISE! RELEASE ALL THE TAPES TO THE PUBLIC!
Congressman Rob Wittman (VA’s 1st CD):
Washington, D.C. Office: (202) 225-4261
Tappahannock Office: (804) 443-0668
Glen Allen Office: (804) 401-4120
Yorktown Office: (757) 527-6270
Remember the goal of Nancy Pelosi’s J6 Committee was to “establish and preserve the narrative of January 6“. It’s harder to establish the narrative they wanted to establish when there are actual videos of the event!
The McCarthy Congress is also pushing the legal position first set by Pelosi operation that the Jan 6 vids and emails are not public records, there is no public interest in their release, and “sovereign immunity” should stop any court challenge for their disclosure under the common law public right to government information.
