We Must Make The Wise Choice For Our Grandchildren

The Transparent Lie behind the "Election Integrity Unit" and a FOIA Request

Dear Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares,

YOU, as a newly elected Attorney General, with the approval of  Governor Youngkin, established the ELECTION INTEGRITY UNIT as a part of your office. 

This appeared to have been high on your to do list, occurring after multiple investigations showed “NO SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE OF FRAUD IN THAT ELECTION” the election that elected Youngkin as Governor and you, Miyares as Attorney General.

The title "Election Integrity Unit" strongly SUGGESTS fraud in the election and it would be cleaned up by the newly elected officials.

THE BIG POINT: IT WAS A FAIR AND FREE ELECTION,  and I repeat with "no evidence of significant fraud.” The election results WERE ACCEPTED by Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. There were no big lies, and there was no Jan. 6th type of behavior.

I wrote a first letter to you on questioning the formation of The ELECTION INTEGRITY UNIT. My second letter is to support “The Virginia Chapter of NAACP request FOIA related to The Election Integrity Act”.

Transparency is important when there are so many questions about the whys, how’s, cost, and results, of this unnecessary government’s action.

I speak as a Southern white woman who supports social equality, a fair and free election without ANY suggestions of voter suppression and TRANSPARENCY.

Respectfully,

Ms. Carol Poulson
Staunton

Who has your best interests at heart ?

Are you a senior citizen on Medicare ?  Would you like to pay less for your prescription drugs ? Do you own your own small business?  Would you like to pay less for health insurance for you and your family ? Thinking about buying an electric vehicle, but put off by the cost ?  Would you like to receive an offset from the federal government so you ultimately pay less for it ? Concerned about the federal deficit ?  Wouldn’t it be nice if the fat cats paid their fair share of taxes, instead of enriching themselves via loopholes (yes, I’m pointing at you, Governor Youngkin), so the deficit could be reduced, and not on the backs of middle-class Americans ? Do you enjoy the benefits of easy local access to Shenandoah National Park, and want to see it with cleaner air and water, and upgrades to its infrastructure ? Would you like to see a million or more new jobs created so the country can transition to clean energy sources, so you pay less for transportation and heating and cooling your

Speak, Candidates for Public Office !

A critical element of a properly functioning democracy is an informed citizenry.  You can’t vote for  somebody unless you know what they stand for.  Otherwise, you could just be shooting yourself in the  foot. An article in Friday’s Washington Post claims that, in certain locales around the country, Republican politicians are avoiding the public eye.  They’re not holding public events, they’re avoiding interviews by the media, and they’re taking a low profile on important issues—all because they are concerned about having certain of their views brought under public scrutiny. Case in point: our congressional representative Ben Cline reportedly has refused for some months to debate Jennifer Lewis, his Democratic opponent. While incumbents like Mr. Cline may assert that their positions are a matter of public record, they should be held to account to address the issues of the day in public, in an appropriate forum. Whether Democrat or Republican, they have a solemn duty to stand before us,
