Courtesy of Mary Lee Cerillo (Sully Democratic Committee Chair), here are some photos from last night's rally in Tysons Corner with Barack Obama, Creigh Deeds and Tim Kaine. Mary Lee adds that the "rally was fabulous with 1,500 people in attendance," that " President Obama is the most magnificent speaker I think I've ever heard," and that "we have GOT to keep Virginia moving forward and cannot afford to go back to the past."
The purpose of Blue Virginia is to cover Virginia politics from a progressive and Democratic perspective. This is a group blog, founded by me (Lowell Feld), but now including several other progressive writers. I can't speak for the other "front pagers," but I consider myself a progressive in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, RFK and actually a bunch of progressive Republicans (e.g., Jacob Javits, Lowell Weicker). As such, I believe in expanding opportunities to all, utilizing government as a tool to promote the general welfare and the common good, protecting the environment for ourselves and for future generations, and expanding the rights promised in our Constitution and Bill of Rights to all Americans.
I invite everyone to comment here, but please be aware that profanity, personal attacks, bigotry, and "trolling" are not allowed. Thanks, and enjoy!
