Holly Adams - Mother of Virginia Tech student, releases statement

[Grapeshot]

I was just curious if she had previously voiced her opinion in this regard. I know I've heard Mr. Godards horrible arguements for the past years. Did she just not know of a platform that was interested in her opinion or that would listen to her?

This is a new revelation to which she had not previously given voice.

I imagine that Holly Adams does not see herself as an "activist" but as a mother whose child was taken from her and only wishes to find some peace. I do not know the women, have never met her nor talked to her. I would genuinely like to if the opportunity were made available.

We can hope that she might become so inclined, like Suzanna Hupp, to go public with her message. An impassioned speech before the General Assembly in Richmond would do much to provide the needed momentum for this cause. Her one voice (others might join her) would over power the false dictum of Colin Goddard and Lori Haas.

IMHO a statute providing for legal self-defense in Virginia universities for all would be a tribute to her daughter. We are doing everything that we can, but need help - help that she could provide. I pray unashamed.

That is definitely understandable. Well its good she voiced her opinion and I also hope she is willing to continue to do so. I believe that if she leads, there are many other parents that have yet to voice their beliefs as well and will do so.

It could be named the "Leslie Sherman" bill. What a tribute.

I would go so far as to recommend that, but do nothing w/o Ms Adams endorsement.

ed - would you be willing to discuss this with Holly Adams?

Of course yes, we'd want to get her approval.

Could you just imagine a Senate Courts of Justice committee meeting hearing testimony on such a bill from Holly Adams, Nikki Goeser and Suzanna Hupp?

Nikki still has an unused ticket to DC

Holly got a full room of applause tonight at the VCDL meeting. I talked to her for about 5 minutes as did Brian.
