Proud to be a Democrat:

“I am proud of what Democrats stand for, the American ideals we believe in and fight for. Stand up for what you believe in; talk to your neighbors. Make your presence felt. Once people understand that Democrats are fighting for the little guy, the hardworking people of Hanover County, they’ll want to join us.” Ashland Mayor Faye Prichard who spoke to the Hanover Democratic Committee at its monthly meeting at Ashland Coffee and Tea on Saturday, February 13. As Mayor, Prichard is fighting to preserve the quality of life and the unique character of the delightful town of Ashland.

Why Do Republicans Trash the U.S. Census then Pretend to BE the U.S. Census?

Politically-motivated Republican resistance to the decennial U.S. Census has been well documented over the years. But a recent Republican National Committee fundraising letter masquerading as a "2010 Congressional District Census" appears to have been designed to create confusion among citizens by making them think it is the official decennial U.S. Census. (Google "RNC census fundraiser" for more than 2 million hits about this controversy.) Although the US Postal Service determined that the survey did not violate federal law, one of the criteria for evaluating this type of fraud accusation is the level of citizen confusion and compaints made to the U.S. Postal Inspector.
