Progress4VA1 Independent PAC
Progress4VA1 is an independent expenditure only political action committee (PAC) registered with the Federal Election Commission and Virginia Department of Elections, and affiliated with the Stafford Indivisible Community Action Network (SICAN), a local, grassroots organization energized by volunteer activists from the Stafford, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and King George area.
Progress4VA1 shares the vision and values of SICAN and is dedicated to helping improve the lives of Virginia residents by advocating for progressive policies that will make the Rappahannock region a better place to live, work and raise a family.
To achieve our vision we need to elect candidates who advocate for progressive policies that promote a safe and secure environment, economic opportunity, excellent schools, sustainably managed economic growth and development, appropriate infrastructure development, and a culture of mutual respect, responsibility and support. Therefore, Progress4VA1 will support the nomination and election of candidates to federal, Virginia state, and local offices who support these objectives.

Benton Gayle Middle School, 100 Panther Drive in Stafford County. For more information, visit staffordcountyva.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2583.
If you feel the way a lot of us do, that the county should not be approving new housing developments without planning for the infrastructure, traffic, schools, police and fire, and more, then attend and tell them so. If you don't mind paying a few more pennies in taxes to make the county a better place to live, then attend and tell them so.
Last year, many of you joined the Vangie Williams campaign to watch "Avengers: Infinity War," and we were left hanging. Now, it's time for all of us to get together - just like the remaining Avengers - and see this through to the end. Vangie has arranged for a private screening of "Avengers: Endgame" from 10:45 am to 2 pm on May 19 at Paragon Village 12 Theater, 50 Towne Centre Blvd. in Fredericksburg. Just like the Avengers in this movie, the campaign, too, has some unfinished business to take care of in 2020. By purchasing a ticket for this screening, you'll be helping Vangie get ready to take on and defeat Rob Wittman on Nov. 3, 2020. You can purchase tickets at secure.actblue.com/donate/avengersendgame. There are only 150 seats available, so be sure to purchase your tickets right away. The proceeds from the ticket sales go to help fund Vangie's 2020 Congressional Campaign. Please arrive by 10:45 am as the movie will start promptly at 11 am. See the event notice at www.facebook.com/events/2308685452754374/.
REMINDER - MoveOn, Indivisible and other organizations are planning to protest at 5 pm on April 4 and demand that Mueller's entire Report be released to the public. Let's join them in Stafford. You can sign up at www.trumpisnotabovethelaw.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response/124793/signup/. And even if you don't sign up, meet at 5 p.m. on April 4 with your signs and we'll protest in front of Rep. Rob Wittman's Office, 95 Dunn Dr., the building next to Staples where the Minnieland Academy is located. We'll protest long enough there to get photos and then move out to 610 Garrisonville Road where we will have more exposure.
NOTE: I am just getting over being sick, so I hope I can be there. Even if I can't make it, just go and be heard. Exercise your Freedom of Speech.

It looks like MoveOn, Indivisible and other organizations are planning to protest at 5 pm on April 4 and demand that Mueller's entire Report be released to the public. Let's join them in Stafford. I went to the Stafford event and the "Description" has not been updated but let's protest anyway. You can sign up at www.trumpisnotabovethelaw.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response/18958/signup/, but disregard the "Description." And even if you don't sign up, meet at 5 p.m. on April 4 with your signs and we'll protest in front of Rep. Rob Wittman's Office, 95 Dunn Dr., the building next to Staples where the Minnieland Academy is located. If we have enough folks, we'll send some out to 610 Garrisonville Road where they will have more exposure. Now I (Bill Johnson-Miles) am just getting over being sick, so I hope I can be there. Even if I can't make it, just go and be heard. Exercise your Freedom of Speech.
https://t.co/fuguZuCZMQ #VA01 @RobWittman vote of the day (Mar'13): Voted for a bill that mandates work requirements for TANF recipients. So we can put burdensome requirements on the poor but not reasonable regulations on businesses?
#VA01's @RobWittman says "we must first address our [military] readiness crisis"
@POTUS cancels military readiness exercises with S. Korea to appease Kim Jung-Un
Rob does nothing to advocate for continuing these exercises.
Why so #SilentBob?
