It's a mistake to close Thaxton Elem.

    While driving through the town, I was stopped at Bedford Middle school waiting as buses departed.
    I looked over at the school and parking lot area, and thought to myself, “Wow!The parking lot was packed full of children and the buses had just passed me also packed with children.”
     I wondered how in the world could all these children get the proper education with an over crowded school, much less being a strain on our teachers.

Giving thanks

    This week we’re celebrating Thanksgiving which should mean much more than families getting together to eat turkey.

Profits over
protection

    “Abortion clinics in Virginia are ‘beautiful, immaculate, clean facilities” declared NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia Executive Director Tarina Keene in a January 17, 2013, interview, with HuffPost Live. 
    Perhaps Ms. Keene was being led through the facilities blindfolded; how else could she ignore the unsanitary conditions, the blood splattered doorways, bloody surgical scrubs, untrained assistants or unlicensed abortionists?  

Stakes too high

    When I was on line for our last election, two women behind me were talking. One said, “Who are we even voting for?” Her friend answered, “Oh, I don’t know - I just always vote for the Republican!” The stakes are too high for us to have this view.
