The list attached are bills in which the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation supports and or opposes in which I agree.
We have identify legislation traceable to United Nations and have provided a separate list of bills specific to Agenda 21. We ask to please vote NO on all legislation that would further diminish property rights.
