RPV talks about Tom Periello (VA-5) and his 90% pro-Obama record. Will he start to distance himself from Obama to save his bacon? If you’re in VA-5, there’s a better way. Vote for Robert Hurt for Congress!

That’s less than half of what Q1 showed. It’s time to face the facts: you don’t boost economic health by creating massive federal [...]
