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.

Our Stafford Schools are ranked 25th in the state, according to this new article, but Stafford County is 4th in the state in Median Household Income, with $112,795, only behind Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington counties (according to Data USA with 2017 data provided by the Census Bureau).
So we are the 4th richest county in the state but our schools are ranked 25th. Something is just wrong here. That is absolutely not right. Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington schools are all ranked in the top six in the state. We should at least be in the top 10. It's time we elect new Stafford County Board of Supervisors and new Stafford School Board Members. It's time that our priority was on education in this county!

David Kerr, a former member of the Stafford County School Board, is a columnist for InsideNoVa. He recently wrote an opinion piece on how the School Board, on July 17, once again delayed their proposed transgender policy. “After more than a year of back and forth rather than establishing a responsible, low key policy for handling matters related to transgender students, the issue is by no means settled,” Kerr wrote. “Thanks to this continuing delay, the discussion that was once deliberate and thoughtful now risks becoming a circus.”

BOYCOTT FOX PROPERTIES - Fox News is a hate-for-profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists. It’s designed to turn us against each other, risking life and death consequences, to provide cover for the corruption that’s rotting our government and hollowing out our middle class. Hate-for-profit works only if there’s profit, so Fox News balances a mix of bigotry, racism, and outright lies with enough legit journalism to make the claim to advertisers that it’s a reputable news outlet. We are calling for a BOYCOTT of Fox Corporation, which owns Fox News, Fox Sports and the Fox Broadcasting Network (TV stations). If you watch Fox Sports and the Fox TV stations, you are also supporting Fox News, and with that, you are supporting Trump and all his atrocities. STOP WATCHING FOX NOW! Let's hit them where it hurts the most, right in the pocketbook. Let's reduce their huge profits.
I was curious to find out who actually owns Fox News. I knew that Disney had merged with many Fox properties recently, so I did some research... In a deal completed March 20, 2019, 21st Century Fox shareholders agreed to sell most of its key assets (including 20th Century Fox, 20th Television, and FX Networks) to The Walt Disney Company for $71.3 billion, following the spin-off of certain businesses. These businesses included Fox News, Fox Business, and the Fox Broadcasting Network.
They are now a new, separately traded company officially named Fox Corporation, also known as the "New Fox" entity. It is owned by the Murdoch family via a family trust with 39% interest; Rupert Murdoch is co-executive chairman, while his son Lachlan Murdoch is chairman and CEO. Fox Corp. deals primarily in the television broadcast, news, and sports broadcasting industries by way of the remaining 21st Century Fox assets that were not acquired by Disney. They include the Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Television Stations, Fox News, the Fox Business Network, the national operations of Fox Sports, and others. It's time to BOYCOTT each and every one of these properties.
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?
