Virginia Republicans recently passed an irresponsible transportation bill that seeks to borrow against the Virginia general fund which provides for important public programs like education, health care, and public safety.
Governor Tim Kaine has called the bill \"...a big complicated stew\", and said this last minute bill had \"no public discussion\" and there are \"a lot of poison pills in there\".
By signing below, you will let Governor Kaine know that you support anything and everything he can do, from significant line-item revisions to a full veto, to see that this transportation bill, as it currently stands, is not passed.
** Please note: Only your first name, zip code, and comments will be displayed to other users.
Watching the funding for our schools and hospitals get threatened by this reckless borrowing is heartbreaking for my family. I have been spending my nights reviewing the legislative language and it is even worse than I imagined. We need the Governor to use his veto power to protect our future before this damage becomes permanent.

Seeing this groundswell of support has given me so much hope that we can actually protect our schools and health care from these reckless funding raids. I never imagined this many people would join me in telling the Governor to block this bill, but your passion proves that Virginians are paying close attention.

Stop playing games with our budget. We pay enough taxes already without them raiding the education fund for this nonsense.
