I can't tell you what an honor it is to be represented in the General Assembly by Mark Cole. McAuliffe will certainly veto it (I can't even imagine what sort of a lame excuse he would write for that, other than "I hate the US Constitution"), but this is a critical line in the sand that must make it to his desk to force his hand!
