RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia lawmakers passed a bill Monday that scraps the state’s Lee-Jackson holiday celebrating two Confederate generals and replaces it with one on Election Day.

The House approved legislation that had already cleared the Senate, advancing the measure to Gov. Ralph Northam, who supports it.

Lee-Jackson Day, established over 100 years ago, is observed annually on the Friday preceding the third Monday in January. It honors Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, both native Virginians.

No wonder Liberals (Leftists, etc.) like Muslims. Either will erase the history of their predecessors.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Does VA's state constitution allow for voter initiatives?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I don't think that matters. The yankees and various other leftists now have total political control over the northeastern part of Va,and that is where most of the voters are.

As long as the liberals like it, otherwise they just ignore it.

Of course. America sucks and the Founding Fathers were all racist slave owners and rapists. Only One Worlders/Communists cares about de peep-pulls.

But the rest of the state is where all the guns are. Just saying.

Give it back to the Federal District, (where it was before The War), and keep Virginia for Virginians.
