'We, The People' of Tidewater have been fighting the relentless effort to set up unaccountable, all-appointed REGIONAL governing for DECADES.

In 2002 we had a $2.5M Business Lobby called the "Yes Campaign" try to force a regional transportation decision-making process upon use (SB 668). Voters rejected it by 2-to-1 opposed!

In 2007 the corrupt General Assembly brought it back, no referendum this time. They passed HB 3202. Gov. Kaine signed it into law. A few of us "grassroots sued the General Assembly because all-appointed regional taxing authorities are unconstitution in VA. We Won! The Hampton Roads Transportation Authority was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of VA.

So, here it is, 2014 - and it's BACK - another attempt to inflict unaccountable regional government upon use!

Please, join us - just say "No!"

We don't need more government, we need those we directly elect to do their job - and to be accountable to the voters!
