Veterans across
our region are rallying to Scott Lingamfelter as he campaigns for

duty-know that Scott represents the best traditional of military
service and has a real record of accomplishment.

VETS
WANT EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT
Veterans also
know that Scott can be depended upon to represent the conservative
approach to good government that many veterans recognize is in the
best interest of our community, state, and nation:
- Keep taxes
low.
- Control wasteful
spending.
- Enhance educational
quality through common sense school choice initiatives.
- Protect our
2nd Amendment rights to keep and bear arms.
- Advance legislation
that will enhance Virginia's security against terrorism.
- Stand up
for veteran issues in Virginia including protecting their pensions
form excessive taxes.
- Work to protect
the US Flag from desecration.
- Inspire patriotism
in our youth with creative community-based programs and his personal
example.
- Ensure every
veteran is properly honored at the time of passing.
Veterans also
know that Scott will not be dragged along the path of political
correctness that has in part been responsible for hurting the readiness
of our armed forces. He will be a voice for common sense readiness
in Virginia's National Guard and Reserve units, organizations critical
to our security.

SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS
Finally, Veterans
know that just as critical to our national security as our military
forces are, our public safety professionals, both police and fire
fighters, need help. Scott will:
- Ensure that
law enforcement, fire and safety are properly funded and have
the tools they need as our first line of defense.
- That they
have the latest and best communication systems to permit effective
coordination across jurisdictions.
- That the
latest technology is in their hands to tract-instantaneously-criminals
who threaten our children, our property, and our lives.
- That prosecutors
have enhanced authority to deal swiftly with law breakers as is
the case in Project Exile, Mark Earley's highly successful plan
to get criminals who use guns off the streets of our cities and
towns.
- That the
compensation board that supports these forces is properly funded.
- That their
retirement system is updated and recognizes the major contribution
these professionals bring to our community.
- That volunteer
training-particularly for fire fighters-is available and comprehensive.
VETS
WANT STRAIGHT TALK
Without a doubt,
veterans know that Scott Lingamfelter is the type of straight-talking,
no-nonsense leader that we need in Richmond. He's not afraid to
take tough positions like his no tax increase pledge that many so-called
"mainstream" politicians feared to take. And he'll work hard as
evidenced by his visits door-to-door to over 6000 voters in this
Election Cycle. And he'll keep his word in the tradition of fidelity
observed by Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines.
That's why if
you're a veteran or someone who loves veterans, you need to get
behind Scott Lingamfelter for Delegate. Scott knows that he could
never have been successful in the military without the trust and
support of the men and women he served with. He will bring that
same trust and confidence to this community. |
