Stop the Cuccinsanity

Liberal bloggers over at Blue Virginia are following the insanity of Virginia GOP Attorney Ken Cuccinelli who has launched an anti-gay jihad, is challenging the new health care reform, and wants in general to turn Virginia into a Medieval style theocracy. One of today's posts looks at what can be done to stop this maniac and his insane agenda. Obviously, there are a number of things, and some have already been commenced by the Democrats - using freedom of information act requests to track Cooch's schedule since taking office and also what out side interests he's been meeting with. One of the other things that is, in my view, keeping the media coverage focused on Cuccinelli's radical agenda that shows that there is no such thing as a GOP moderate either in Virginia or nationwide since the purge of moderates by the Christianists and far right loons now controlling the GOP. Here are some highlights:
*
All of Virginia - and much of the country - now knows that we have elected, not a conservative, but a radical to be our Attorney General. It is already clear that Ken Cuccinelli does not have a mainstream, sensible, moderate bone in his body. No, this man is determined to twist our government into a tool to realize the most extreme right-wing fantasies that only the looniest Tea Partier could ever dream up. There's no question that this guy is nuts and will do all he can to make Virginia the laughing stock of the world. The only question left for me is: HOW DO WE FIGHT HIM.
*
We must do all we can to fight this tinfoil hat tyrant in order to:
- Limit the damage he causes - and the waste of our tax dollars at a time of budget crisis;
- Show the world that Virginia is full of good, sane people - and that we are not some clueless, backwards, Tea Party haven that no cutting-edge business or hip individual would ever want to move to;
- Get our leaders energized to stand up for their consituents; and
- Constructively channel our anger and frustration into peaceful, effective action.
*
As citizens of this state, we have a full right to know how much of our hard-earned money General Cooch is wasting on frivilous lawsuits. Therefore, please contact your state Delegates and Senators to demand that they keep the pressure on the Attorney General to account for every penny he is spending on this nonsense -- until we can put an end to it.
*
Also please sign the Democratic party petition here that reads:
*
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has filed yet another frivolous lawsuit against the federal government, this time challenging federal health care reform legislation.
*
We, the people of Virginia, call on Attorney General Cuccinelli to stop wasting our tax dollars on his personal political agenda.
*
Every year, we pay Attorney General Cuccinelli's salary -- and the salaries of all of his employees. We demand that the Cuccinelli recognize that the Office of the Attorney General is our law firm, not the piggy bank for his political agenda.
*
We call on the Attorney General to focus on the issues that face Virginians every day -- such as rising utility costs, home foreclosures, and predatory loans -- rather than filing frivolous lawsuits against the federal government.
