1. Anti-gun League of Women Voters trying to turn out people to
counter VCDL at Portsmouth tonight
****************************************************
The League of Women Voters of South Hampton Roads is asking its
members to come to the meeting at Portsmouth tonight to counter VCDL's
presence there. We need to make sure we have a good number of people
there, so those of you who can come please do so.
I will be at the meeting around 6:30 with Guns Save Lives stickers.
The meeting starts at 7 PM.
Interesting to note that there is currently an effort to recall Mayor
Holley after the City Council asked him to resign and he refused. Bob
Marcus, with Bob's Gun in Norfolk, is leading the way:

Push to recall Portsmouth mayor gains momentum Posted to: Elections

An effort to recall Mayor James Holley got a boost this week with the
gathering of more signatures and the formation of a political action
committee.
About sixteen volunteers fanned out at precincts around the city and
gathered 2,415 more signatures on Election Day, according to Pat
Simons, one of the organizers.
That adds to the more than 2,800 signatures that were gathered as of
Oct. 23 but still does not give the anti-Holley movement the 7,500
needed to force a recall vote.
Portsmouth resident and Norfolk gun dealer Robert Marcus launched a
political action committee to bolster the recall campaign.
"We're well on our way now," Marcus said. He anticipated that a door-
to-door effort to get additional signatures would begin.
The effort to recall Holley came shortly after members of City Council
asked him to resign and Holley refused.
Before that, council members fined him $2,500 in connection for using
his city assistant to perform personal tasks including canceling his
Playboy subscription.
Holley has said he is not walking away from his office.
Holley, who is in his fifth term, was recalled once before in 1987 in
connection with a hate mail campaign.
Holley did not return a message left at his home Tuesday night.
