Grassroots Network of the Republican Party of Virginia

RPV Veteran's Coalition

Information

A network to bring conservative Veterans together in Virginia. You do not HAVE to be a member of a Local Republican Committee, BUT it is encouraged.

Website: http://rpvnetwork.ning.com/group/rpvveterans
Location: Virginia
Members: 104
Latest Activity: Sep 3, 2012

Purpose:

We are building a more durable Veterans Coalition in Virginia. One which will span multiple election cycles and hopefully have more impact on the political scene. We are open to all Virginia Veterans AND ACTIVE DUTY TROOPS. You DO NOT have to be a member of the Republican Party, but it is encouraged. We expect that most Veterans generally agree with the Conservative message of the Republican Party, although we are not always in "lock step" with all candidates and all issues. So, if you consider yourself an Independent or even a conservative leaning non-partisan, we welcome you to this RPV Network Veterans Coalition.

Comment by B J Richardson on April 16, 2009 at 8:50am: I was watching FOX News yesterday then this topic was discussed. What are these idiots thinking. The American Veteran is the most loyal American around and will continue to be. Those of us that have taken the oath have sworn to that since the American Revolution and continue to do that to this day. It is appalling to think that the White House thinks this way. This is the Change he spoke of?

Comment by Will on April 15, 2009 at 8:52pm: Hey, congratulations War Vets, apparently we are now homeland security risks according to DHS. I just don't understand how they can label us homeland security risks when we are the few that have actually wore the uniform of this nation. How dare anyone suggest that we are a threat when we have fought for over two hundred years to keep this nation safe and free...it makes me sick.

Comment by Lester Gabriel on April 6, 2009 at 9:45pm: Check out the "Events" to see info about an Armed Forces Day Picnic at Newport News Park on May 9th. Lots of good food, politics, and a day of appreciation for our troops.

Comment by Donald Joy on February 7, 2009 at 3:55am: Hussein has dropped the charges against the captured Muslim jihadist behind the USS Cole bombing, who has been held at GITMO. Here's video of the mother of one of the sailors killed in that attack, who now regrets voting for Hussein and refused to meet with him...her daughter says Hussein should be impeached--I agree:

Comment by Donald E. Scoggins on January 30, 2009 at 10:25pm: Conservative myself is it possible other Republicans regarding themselves less so could find acceptance within the GOP? Considerations such as this must be addressed if the Republican Party is going to grow. Our current unfortunate circumstances were self inflicted because we drove away people not fanatically conservative/right wing. Adhering to such rigidity especially turns of the young.

Comment by Vito Losardo on January 30, 2009 at 6:40pm: I am hearing lots of noise over BHO administration dropping all charges against imprisoned terrorists at GTMO. Anyone else hearing this? My sources are retired military like myself who belong to various Military groups. Would like to pull the thread on this one, I sure hope it is not true. Bad enough he wants to shut down GTMO, but dropping all charges and letting these guys go is above and beyond.

Comment by O. P. Ditch on January 22, 2009 at 7:50am: I got this from an admired political source in PA 12th Dist: "We'll take the prisoners if they'll take Murtha."
