There is a bill in the State Senate (SB507) with a companion bill in the House, that would effectively ban conventions, party canvasses, firehouse primaries, and mass meetings from being methods of nomination for political parties.

This bill will set back the grassroots/anti-establishment movement for years, probably decades.

The bill comes up before the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee on Tuesday. Mark Obenshain is the chairman of the committee and he is on our side, however he will likely be outvoted. We need to call the rest of the committee, especially the Republicans, and tell them to oppose the bill.

In addition, contact your delegate and senator and tell them to vote NO.

This bill has a real chance of passing, and McAuliffe has said he will sign it. We must pull out all the stops to kill it, and hold accountable those who support it.
