Campaign for RNC National Committeewoman

My Campaign for RNC National Committeewoman

Robert,

I am very excited to announce that I am running to be your next RNC National Committeewoman for Virginia.  The Republican Party of Virginia's 2016 State Convention is being held at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, on Saturday April 30th.  If you can join us, please RSVP by clicking here.  The outpouring of support over the last several weeks has been overwhelming and humbling.  I hope you will take a moment to look over the group of people who have committed their support to my campaign and consider joining the team yourself!

Sincerely,

Suzanne Obenshain

Notice anything unusual about this email? If you've received my session updates for the past couple of years, you'll realize this message is arriving a day early.

Perhaps you've already guessed the reason: snow! The weekend weather forecast has paralyzed activity in the General Assembly. Because legislators drive home to their districts for the weekend, a Friday snowstorm poses serious hazards. For this reason, tomorrow's committee meetings are canceled and session will not be held.

Although the Historic Triangle may miss the brunt of the storm, we will still experience wintry conditions. Following are links to winter weather resources:

Road conditions: 

Power outages or downed lines:

Please tune in to local media, including www.wydaily.com for information on closures.
HB699: Industrial Hemp Production
Did you know that in 1619 the Virginia House of Burgesses enacted legislation requiring every farmer to grow hemp? Hemp was used for a variety of purposes, including fuel, textiles, and paper. Industrial hemp possesses none of the psychotropic qualities associated with marijuana; however, hemp production was essentially banned in 1937 as the result of a prohibitive tax. Although the tax was eventually ruled unconstitutional, industrial hemp production remains banned due to federal policy. Fortunately, there is a movement to remove industrial hemp from the federal Controlled Substances List.

Industrial hemp offers outstanding environmental and economic benefits. My House Bill 699 ensures that Virginia will be prepared to immediately begin commercial cultivation after Congress revises the federal policies governing industrial hemp. House Bill 699 allows a person with a license to manufacture industrial hemp products or engage in scientific, agricultural, or other research involving the applications of industrial hemp. This pro-business legislation supports job growth in Virginia. The bill is poised to pass the full House early next week.
Have you taken my legislative survey?
If you have not already done so, please take my online legislative survey. I look forward to receiving your input. As always, if you need detailed information about a bill, please contact my office by calling 804-698-1096 or emailing DelBPogge@house.virginia.gov.
General Assembly visitors
As always, Monday's Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday brought crowds of visitors to the General Assembly Building. The busy pace continued all week, and I enjoyed meeting with representatives and members of the following organizations:

Virginia Citizens Defense League
Americans for Prosperity
Medical Society of Virginia
Virginia Young Democrats
Jamestown High School
Virginia Credit Unions
Virginia Interfaith
Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants
Visiting with representatives of the Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants
Please contact my office.
As a reminder, if you have questions about a bill or policy proposal, please email DelBPogge@house.virginia.gov or call 804-698-1096. If you visit Richmond prior to March 12, please stop by my office, Room 403 in the General Assembly Building. 

Stay warm and safe!

Please join me in Richmond next Wednesday, January 13, the first day of the General Assembly session.  The Family Foundation will be hosting their annual Day at the Capitol on that day.  I am pasting in an email I received from them below.  If you are able to come, please stop by my office and say hello.

About next Wednesday

Have you marked your calendar for next Wednesday, January 13, 2016? That is the first day of the 2016 General Assembly session and also our Family Foundation Day at the Capitol. This year, our day features our 4th Annual Prayer Walk and Virginia Stands for Life Gathering in Richmond.

Abby Johnson will be our keynote speaker at the Stand for Life Gathering. Abby is a former Planned Parenthood Clinic Director, now a pro-life advocate. You don't want to miss hearing her powerful testimony.


 
We are starting the day at 9:00 am with the Prayer Walk at both the Capitol and at the Greater Richmond Convention Center.

At 10:00 am there will be a chance for you to meet with your legislators in the General Assembly building. Your legislators need to hear from you. We are hoping to have people from every legislative district in the state so that no Delegate or Senator will be missed.

We will gather at the Bell Tower area of Capitol Square at 11:00 am to hear from Abby and to make a statement to the legislators and to Virginians that we believe that life, from conception to natural death is sacred and deserves protection by the government.

Thank you for joining us on this very special day. To register, please click here.

What: Family Foundation Day at the Capitol

When: Wednesday, January 13, 2016, 9:00 am - noon
