Atlas Shrugs covers the Esam Omesh story

I wrote to Pamela about Dr. Esam Omesh, who is running for the Democratic nomination for the 35th District of the House of Delegates. She has a much broader audience than Northern Virginiastan, and given the coverage she provided about the expansion of the Islamic Saudi Academy, I knew that she could reach people in Northern Virginia in ways that I can't.

I was not disappointed. Pamela quickly picked up on my story, and supplied additional information: read Atlas Shrugs: Extremist on the Campaign Trail: Jihadi Esam Omesh is Running for Office!

Thank you, Pamela, for getting the word out.

How can we defeat Dr. Esam Omesh's candidacy?

As I was riding on Vale Road yesterday, I was dismayed to find a sign for Dr. Esam Omesh, who is running for the Democratic nomination for the 35th District of the House of Delegates. Dr. Omesh held his kickoff meeting only yesterday.

Readers might recall former Gov. Tim Kaine (now head of the Democratic National Committee) had selected Dr. Omesh for his minorities commission. Ultimately, Dr. Omesh resigned, as videos of him advocating jihad were circulated on the Internet.



On June 9, voters will choose the Republican and Democratic candidates who will oppose each other on the November ballot. The Democratic primary is contested: others running in the primary are Mark Keam, Roy Baldwin, and Edith Frankell Kelleher. I do not want a situation in which a four-way split might give Omesh victory. How can we who live in the 35th District defeat Dr. Omesh's candidacy?

Fox 5 Morning News legitimizes CAIR

As an American, I am ashamed of the way that President Obama has pandered to Europe and the Middle East by talking down the U.S.

This morning, Fox 5 Morning News interviewed Nihad Awad of CAIR about Obama's outreach efforts to the Muslim World:



For readers of this blog, I needn't expand about CAIR. I wanted to send a message to Fox 5 about CAIR and its ties to terrorism, but it is not recording messages on its comment line or sending what I have written on its Contact Us web form.
