So declaring a state of emergency allows him to activate the national guard right?

West Virginia's legislature passed a resolution today inviting Virginia 2A sanctuary counties to join West Virginia.

Peace through strength
Wow - it's only fitting seeing how those WV counties elected to break away from VA during secession...

And this is exactly what tyranny looks like.

This doesn’t sit right at all. State of emergency, full media blitz, already seeding ideas of Charlottesville 2. To me the whole thing stinks of a way to start something so the media can pave an open path for blue states and weak knees red ones to start banning any right of center protest. Exactly like they used Charlottesville to label everyone to the right of Stalin as a nazi.

Matt Bracken has been warning about it being a set up for several days now in his blog articles and Facebook posts.

so no penalty for disobeying this sham (hmmm seeing a pattern) will it be worth it to just be outside the fence carrying as i don’t think that area is big enough to hold the crowd they are expecting

There will undoubtedly be bad actors planted in the crowd. I'm sure left wing instigators have been invited as well.

LOBBY DAY LOGISTICS & IMPORTANT INFORMATION
https://mailchi.mp/395912cfb5d0/va-alertlobby-day-logistics-important-information?e=099c38fd56
PARKING: If you are coming by car, there will be a satellite parking area at the Diamond located at 3001 N Arthur Ashe Blvd, Richmond, VA 23230. The entrance to the parking lot is round the corner on Robin Hood Road. VCDL will be running shuttle buses from the Diamond to 9th and Broad Streets from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. Shuttle bus and parking are free, but if you want to make a donation to help cover the cost you can donate online by going to*vcdl.org/donate. Street parking and local private garages will fill up quickly and we are trying to keep the traffic congestion around the area as low as possible.
STREET CLOSINGS:* Broad Street will be restricted to one lane in each direction from 14th Street to 7th Street and will be closed at from time to time for pedestrian traffic. 9th Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from Cary Street to Broad Street. Main Street will be closed from 14th Street to 9th Street. Franklin and Grace Streets between 8th and 9th. Bank Street will be closed as well. These street closures will be in effect from 7:00 am until approximately 4:00 pm.
LOBBY TEAMS:* Teams will begin forming at 8:00 am and start entering the GA Building right away. ARRIVE EARLY IF YOU INTEND TO LOBBY! We will meet at or near 10th and Bank Streets, form groups and move down 10th Street to Main to enter the building. Team Leaders will likely have orange VCDL clipboards and will be wearing high visibility vests. Seek them out as soon as you arrive and try to get on a team. Most team leaders will have a list of the Delegates and Senators with whom they will be meeting. However, if you can’t find a team with YOUR Delegate or Senator, we encourage you to join a team anyway, as things are likely to be crowded.* Some Team Leaders are posting their Senator and Delegate assignments on Facebook.* You can hook up with them in the VCDL Group.
EXPECT LONG LINES:* There will be a large turnout. Not everyone will fit in the building at once. When the capacity is reached, entry into the building will be halted until people leave. Please visit your assigned offices and perhaps your own Senator's and Delegate's offices and then exit the building so others can enter. Patience is essential. If you have trouble standing for extended periods consider bringing a folding chair. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY CPD AND DGS THAT THERE WILL BE NO SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR HANDICAP ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. *
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER:* It is January. It can be cold. Most of the day will be spent outside. Please check the weather and dress appropriately. Business casual or better attire is suggested. When you are communicating with people you do so with your appearance as well as your words. Wear comfortable shoes. There is a hill to climb from Main to Broad and the Capitol Square area is hilly as well. The elevators in the building will be packed so you may end up using stairs.
FOOD:*There have been some food truck vendors who have indicated that they will be nearby. There are restaurants in the vicinity as well. However, with this many people in the area there will be long lines. It is advisable to bring snacks or sandwiches. We will post an alert soon if there are any prohibited items. We are waiting for advice from RPD and CPD.
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:* There have been many rumors, videos, and articles flying around the internet. We cannot stress enough that*this is a peaceful day to address our Legislature. Yes, we hold a rally, but the point of the day is communication with our Representatives. To our knowledge there are no credible threats of violence. That being said, please practice appropriate situational awareness. IF YOU SEE A BAD ACTOR flag down a police officer and point it out. If someone tries to provoke you, smile and walk away. There is probably someone secretly recording the interaction, with the intent of capturing some kind of inappropriate reaction on your part. *Don't take the bait. It's not worth the bad press. The eyes of the nation and the world are on Virginia and VCDL right now and we must show them that gun owners are not the problem. Lead by example.* We have been and continue to be in close contact with several law enforcement agencies and will keep them informed of all potential threats that we become aware of.* Law enforcement will be in abundance at the event, both uniformed and plain clothes.
SCHEDULE:* We begin lobbying at 8:00 am and continue until 10:30 am. From 11:00 am until noon we will have a rally at the Capital steps. It will be crowded, so try to get there early if you want to be able to see (and hear) the speakers. Once the rally is over you can continue lobbying, grab some lunch, or head back to your bus/car. OUR BUSES WILL DEPART AT 2:00 pm so allow yourself ample time to return to your bus.

Perhaps he should take a look at VA Code first:
https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?121+ful+HB20
Del. Tony Wilt & I patroned this bill in 2012 so that no one could declare an emergency in an effort to prohibit citizens from exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.
Signed into law 3/1/2012

I don't like it, but Gov. Coonman Blackface Moonwalker is probably within the law.

Some here may remember the "1st Amendment Zone" during the Bundy Ranch standoff.
It was thoughtful of the Government to provide an area wherein that part of the Bill of Rights was allowed.

Pretty much says it all. I think it's also reasonable to assume that MDS is being monitored by state/federal agencies for exactly those kinds of shitpostings.Users who are viewing this thread
