State Chapter: Virginia

Welcome to FreedomWorks Virginia!

Our mission is to turn ideas and policies into action. Those ideas can never succeed unless ordinary citizens are willing to stand up and fight for them...

Our goal is to help ordinary citizens play a greater role in the government decisionmaking process, letting no cause involving their own rights and freedoms be lost by default.

Let's work together to fight for less government, lower taxes and more freedom in Virginia!

Join Virginia FreedomWorks, where our members are creating a strong grassroots presence across the entire state. Help us win the fight!

The new year has only just begun, but already 2010 is shaping up to be pivotal in American history. From Cap and Tax to Health Care, it seems that everywhere we look, the federal government is dreaming up new ways to separate us from our hard earned money.

As the health care fight in Congress drags on, many Americans have been left wondering why their representatives seem not to care what the voters think. The sad truth is that the voters have lost much of their voice in Washington, D.C. The concerns of individuals are being drowned out by the big money of special interest groups.

Gates County has turned to activist groups much like Washington County did to oppose the Navy's proposal to build a jet practice airfield there.

About 150 people gathered in the Gates County Courthouse Thursday morning, including representatives of FreedomWorks and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.

"Yes, absolutely, we can stop this," Kathy Hartkopf, a legislative liaison for FreedomWorks, told the group.
