FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 7, 2009 Citizens all across Fluvanna County will make their way to the Downtown Mall at 3:00PM on April 15, 2009 to join the Charlottesville Tax Day Tea Party. Working in conjunction with a national grassroots effort promoted by Glenn Beck’s The 912 Project, Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions, and other conservative [...]

Have you contacted your Senators yet concerning your thoughts on the “Stimulus Bill“? I did yesterday. Today I received a response from one of them, Senator Mark Warner (D). Here’s what he had to say to me: Dear Mrs. Wigal, Thank you for contacting me with your views on the economic stimulus package.  In order [...]

Yesterday, the House passed the “Stimulus Bill” a.k.a. H.R.1 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act with a vote of 244-188 with every Republican voting against it. While I’m still angry that this bill passed in it’s current form, I’m glad that the GOP stood together in opposition after a day-long debate. Unfortunately, my representative didn’t vote [...]

I just heard about this guy on FoxNews named Cory, the Driller and Googled him to find a copy of his open letter to Senator Obama. Being an entrepreneur myself (and being raised by an entrepreneur), this letter speaks volumes. I encourage you to read this and put a “face” to one of those making [...]

If you can’t tell, I’m really mad about the lies and deception being spread about the cause of our economic woes today. Barack Obama stated in the last debate that we shouldn’t be looking backwards for blame but rather forward for a solution (my paraphrase). But you know what…it ticked me off to listen to [...]

I came across this video and I’m sorry, but this makes me so angry. Thankfully my Congressional Representative Virgil Goode voted “NO” again on the latest bailout bill, and I am happy to be giving him my vote next month. But the more I hear about the cause for this bailout in the first place, [...]

I just came across this video clip of a report done on Fox News concerning the timeline leading up to the Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac disasters. Interesting how folks like House Speaker Pelosi want to quickly point fingers to Republicans for blame, yet this reveals a very prominent Democrat (Congressman Barnie Frank in Sept [...]

I specifically wanted to check out the National Archives building on Constitution Avenue in DC this past weekend, more specifically the original Charters of Freedom documents. We were one of the last visitors on Saturday to view the U.S. Constitution housed in the Rotunda, and it was a remarkable experience. Unlike the scene depicted in [...]

Fluvanna County has had problems of over-crowding in the elementary and middle schools for several years now. The band-aid solutions have been to install trailers on the two campuses, but these were only meant to be temporary. Well, another school year has gone by and still no reasonable solution has been provided by the School [...]

A Letter to the Editor of the Fluvanna Review, published May 15, 2008, written by Supervisor Gene Ott, upon hearing comments made by Mr. William McCullin at the May 7th Board of Supervisors meeting…more millions at stake… As one of your elected Board of Supervisors (BOS), I am responsible to be a good steward of [...]
