Press coverage of our protest at GMU Law:

A brief mention on the Rachel fucking Maddow show!

(missing the "law" part of GMU but that's ok)

(PS I think they dramatized the yelling issue - we were outside, and did not break up after the incident they claim - I never saw Cuccinelli nor did I hear anyone heckle him, rather we had finished our speakers, heard he was going to stay inside and not address us, the session was limited to GMU Law students only, and it started to rain)

I checked the Washington Times, but they appear to be having technical problems as there was no mention of any disparaging words about Cuccinelli at their site.

We had several local politicians show up and speak for us:
Jay Fisette, Chair, Arlington County Board
Bob Brink, Delegate, 48th District
Abby Raphael, Arlington County School Board
(Chair was there too, but didn't speak)

FYI I received this from my VA Senate rep (Mary Whipple) this morning:

At noon today the Democratic Party of Virginia is holding a press conference
to denounce the AG's actions and to say they will file a FOIA request to
determine how much it will cost Virginia to file and argue a lawsuit.
Senator Don McEachin will be representing the Virginia Senate Democrats at
the event.

Bwa! Running a right-winger campaign at taxpayer expense for bringing frivolous lawsuits against the supremacy clause - might as well sue not to use social security while they're at it. Good counter-tactic.

That was me BTW. Me and el-Hey! had some credential problems.
