Jeff Staples for Virginia Senate
"Keeping the Big Boys Honest"

Some more of “what to expect before the upcoming election”:

Many of you know of my history of environmental activism. I have been part of some huge environmental victories and have been in some of the most spirited resistances to environmental blights.

But, I do not expect the "Big Green" organizations to endorse me. They like to play it safe. They generally back or stay silent about the legislators who will help them on some watered down legislation and betray them on others. They come out with scorecards that make these "topical" environmentalist legislators look good. Again, as with the Unions (discussed last week), the status quo is maintained.

So at best, I can hope that they decide not to endorse my opponent, or me. But who knows? Maybe they are over the need to have big, aristocratic names at their NOVA fundraisers? I hope so.

Regardless, I'll carry the torch.
