We need this guy.  If you care about the welfare of the Commonwealth of Virginia (and happen to be in agreement with the work of Bob Marshall), please read this and ask people you know in Manassas to work on his campaign.

This is a forward I got by email (and probably in the mailbox back in Swoope, VA, also).

Mr. Woodard,


I desperately need your help and prayers to stay in office because not only are
abortionists mad at me, my own Republican leadership is annoyed because I put everyone on
record with my hardball parliamentary maneuvers. 

You see, I managed to secure a first-time ever recorded vote in the House of Delegates
since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade case on the main principle of the right to life movement,
namely to protect all children in the womb from the very beginning of human life.  (See HB
2797  http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?071+sum+HB2797)

Here is how the Washington Post (2-6-07) put it:
“But Marshall succeeded in getting to the House floor the bill to protect fertilized
eggs and fetuses, which abortion rights advocates say would have amounted to a state ban
on abortion. Last week, the Privileges and Elections Committee voted 12 to 7 to approve
the legislation, which says that "life begins at the moment of fertilization" so
the "Constitution of Virginia is vested in each  . . . human being from the moment of
fertilization."
When the bill came up for debate Monday, Republican leaders tried to have it sent back to
committee. Besides avoiding a contentious floor debate, they hoped to shield some
delegates from having to take a recorded vote on the issue.
But Democrats, who see protecting abortion rights as a possible issue in this year's
legislative elections, joined a dozen conservative Republicans to defeat the motion to
return it to committee. Democrats then forced a recorded vote on the bill, which was
defeated 53 to 43.” 

I probably cannot count on much help from the Republican Party in Richmond.

That is why I need your financial help and prayers.     

My web site allows you to make a contribution (http://www.delegatebob.com/index.cfm) and
also lets you know about the broad range of bills I have introduced and my laws which have
passed over the years (http://www.delegatebob.com/index.cfm).  

This year, for example, I sponsored laws that passed and which set up a state commission
on Immigration, continues the Stem Cell Study Committee which I chair, lets localities
establish electric power transmission corridors so power companies will not have to take
private homes for big electric transmission lines, grants a tax break for handicapped or
senior citizens and other laws.

Please visit my web site and make an on-line contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more
if you can afford it  http://www.delegatebob.com/index.cfm.  There are no donation limits,
and business or personal donations are allowed under Virginia law.  Or, if you like, you
may send a check to me (Friends of Delegate Marshall) at PO Box 421, Manassas, VA 20108.

I appreciate your help and support.


Delegate Bob Marshall

PS Virginia Planned Parenthood takes my HB 2797 as a threat to abortion on demand (http://
www.delegatebob.com/index.cfm ).  In politics, you know someone by the enemies they make.
Please pass this on to a friend.  Thanks again.
