Hmm I looked back through my Cuccinelli Compass emails and I seem to have misstated it slightly. When they first started the "Gadsden Plan" back in June you had to donate $5000 to get the flag, $1000 to get the lapel pin. But I found another email about one of those money bomb days in October where you would get the flag for only $100 (that is what made me think $100).vt357 wrote:peter nap wrote:Ken made the Gadsden the symbol of his campaign. They passed out hundreds of stickers and mini versions of the flag at the Republican convention (I put mine on my desk at work). If you donated $100 to his campaign he would send you a full size flag. I'd guess he got that pin long before yesterday.Grapeshot wrote:...peter nap wrote:...ProShooter wrote:...Is Ken wearing a Gadsden flag pin? I LOVE IT!
Hey...I want my flag then:uhoh:
Business related expense, I trust.I have a number of Gadsden related items that I bought here - http://www.gadsdenandculpeper.com/
Attorney General-Elect Ken Cuccinelli adopted the Gadsden Flag lapel pin to symbolize his strong commitment to the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. constitution in defending Virginia's Sovereignty for all Virginians, including Virginia gun owners.Ken could do worse than to retain the Gadsden flag as his symbol of the AG office.

For this courageous and principled stand, his Democratic opponent, Steve Shannon, viciously smeared Ken as the "States Rights Attorney General Candidate".In the last several years, and most significantly since the election of the current administration and Congress, the trend towards increased Federal Government control over every aspect of the lives of Virginia’s citizens has been alarming.
The time is now to turn the tide away from destructive big government policies, toward a less intrusive, less oppressive form of government; a return to the first principles intended by the founding fathers.
I will apply these founding principles to every aspect of my work as your next Attorney General. For this reason, I have chosen the Gadsden Flag as a symbol for my campaign.
This whole post bears repeating. I love Ken! He gets it.Grapeshot wrote:Attorney General-Elect Ken Cuccinelli adopted the Gadsden Flag lapel pin to symbolize his strong commitment to the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. constitution in defending Virginia's Sovereignty for all Virginians, including Virginia gun owners.Ken could do worse than to retain the Gadsden flag as his symbol of the AG office.

This prompted VCDL-PAC to issue a sternly worded rebuke:

VA-ALERT: Ken Cuccinelli: Protecting The 10th Amendment
From Kenneth M. Elliott, Jr.
All concerned Virginia Voters,
I hate to sound like a broken record by only discussing the Attorney Generals race so far - but then no one else has an opponent as uninformed, or afraid, as the man running against VCDL PAC's Endorsed Candidate for Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli.
The VCDL PAC is grateful to have Ken Cuccinelli, as Virginia's next Attorney General, stand with us in defending Virginia gun owners' Tenth Amendment rights.
Ken's opponent, Steve Shannon, is trying desperately to make Ken Cuccinelli's defense of state sovereignty somehow a racial issue (!) - what Ken's position reflects is the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. Maybe Mr. Shannon should read them some time.
I guess that's why the Tea Party people were there. Had I seen a sign, I'd have taken my fishing rod instead of the gun I didn't have.Interesting - will have to check it out. I have OCd there many times - last time was the night before the Republican Convention and there was no sign then.
Maybe it was for Eric (its not my fault) Cantor.
