520 Governor James Gilmore DIRECTOR of the Free Congress Foundation
In 1997, Gilmore faced then-Lieutenant Governor Don Beyer in a bid to succeed George Allen as governor. Gilmore campaigned heavily on the twin promises of hiring 4,000 new teachers in public schools and phasing out Virginia's personal property tax on automobiles.[5] Gilmore was elected, winning 56% of the vote to Beyer's 43%.[6]
In his first year as Governor, Gilmore pushed for car tax reduction legislation that was eventually passed by the Democrat-controlledGeneral Assembly. The legislation reduced car taxes on all cars valued less than $1,000, and phased out the tax on auto values over $1,000 as follows: 12.5% reduction in 1998; 25% reduction in 1999; 47.5% reduction in 2000; 70% reduction in 2001; 100% reduction in 2002. Beginning in 2001, Virginia's economy slowed and tax revenues flattened. In addition to a downturn in the national economy in 2001, Northern Virginia's economy was severely impacted after terrorists flew a hijacked airplane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, onSeptember 11, 2001, resulting in the closure of Reagan National Airport for several months. Despite the economic downturn, Gilmore insisted on advancing the car tax phase out from a 47.5% reduction of each taxpayer's bill in 2000 to the scheduled 70% reduction in 2001. Gilmore signed an executive order reducing state spending by all agencies, except for education, to keep the state's budget balanced during the economic downturn. Democrats criticized the spending reductions and car tax cut. According to the Washington Post, "Virginia's politicians struggled to balance car-tax relief against demands for public services."[7] When Gilmore left office in January 2002, the state's "rainy day fund," or revenue stabilization fund, contained $1 billion.
Gilmore also implemented new Standards of Learning reforms in Virginia's public schools. The Standards of Learning prescribed a uniform curriculum in mathematics, science, English and social studies and instituted new tests at the end of the third, fifth and eighth grades, as well as end-of-course tests in high school, to measure student achievement. During Gilmore's term, Virginia's public school students' scores increased on these state tests as well as nationally normed tests.[8]
In 1999, Gilmore proposed and signed into law legislation that reduced tuitions at public colleges and universities by 20%. Gilmore also commissioned a Blue Ribbon Commission on Higher Education that studied accountability and governance of public colleges and universities. Gilmore's Commission authored the first blueprint for decentralized regulatory and administrative authority to some universities in return for agreements to meet agreed upon performance objectives.
Gilmore also proposed and signed into law Virginia's first stand-alone Martin Luther King Holiday. Prior to this proposal, Virginia had observed a combined Lee-Jackson-King Day that recognized Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Martin Luther King on the same day each year. Gilmore and his wife, Roxane Gatling Gilmore, hosted a historic reception in the Governor's Mansion for Coretta Scott King and announced a technology partnership between Virginia and the King Center for Nonviolence. Gilmore also proposed and funded a new African-American History Trail in Virginia and called upon the State Board of Education to include a more diverse range of historical figures in Virginia's Social Studies curriculum. Test scores during Gilmore's term showed a narrowing of the "achievement gap" between minority and white students. Gilmore significantly increased funding for two of Virginia's historically black universities, Norfolk State University andVirginia State University.
Gilmore created the nation's first state Secretary of Technology, a position first held by Donald Upson. Together they established a statewide technology commission, and signed into law the nation's first comprehensive state Internet policy.[9]
During his term, 37 people were executed in Virginia. Gilmore granted executive clemency to one death row inmate on the basis of mental illness. In another well publicized case, he pardoned Earl Washington, a former death row inmate, after DNA tests, ordered by Gilmore, implicated another person. Gilmore also ordered DNA tests in the case of Derek Rocco Barnabei; the tests confirmed Barnabei's guilt and he was executed.
As Governor, Gilmore signed into law legislation establishing a 24-hour waiting period and informed consent for women seeking anabortion, as well as a ban against partial birth abortion. Gilmore increased funding for adoption services. He also signed into law a bill that banned human cloning. In 1998, Gilmore went to court to try to prevent the removal of a feeding tube of coma victim Hugh Finn. Gilmore argued that removal of a feeding tube was not removal of artificial life support because it amounted to starvation of an infirm person who could not feed himself. As Attorney General of Virginia, Gilmore had defended a legal challenge to Virginia's first parental notification law for minors seeking abortions.
John W. Forbes, who was Secretary of Finance under Gilmore, was sentenced to ten years in prison for defrauding Virginia's tobacco commission of $4 million. Forbes had served as Governor Gilmore's representative to the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission when he directed funds to a charity that he controlled. In response, Gilmore said, "He abused the trust that was put in him at the great expense of the people of Southside Virginia, who deserve much better."[10]
The Virginia Constitution forbids any Governor from serving consecutive terms, so Gilmore could not run for a second term in 2001. He was succeeded by Democrat Mark Warner, who took office in early 2002.
449pm Richard Viguerie from Conservative HQ
As
I wrote in my book, Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other
Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause,
Republican politicians too often talk the conservative talk—but then vote with
the Washington insiders for bigger and more intrusive government.
It's time to take back our movement, our party and our country!
Unlike most conservative Web sites, ConservativeHQ.com isn't devoted to
attacking Democrats. We're devoted to relaunching the conservative
movement.
That's why ConservativeHQ.com focuses on the real threat to conservative
victory: Big-Government Republicans.
Left-wing Democrats aren't conservatives' problem; we've consistently beaten
them—at the polls and in the success of our policies.
The purpose of ConservativeHQ.com is to undo the damage caused by the
Republicans who've betrayed the conservative cause. ConservativeHQ.com is the
only Web site completely devoted to relaunching the conservative movement.
Here you'll find the latest news on what's happening inside the new
conservative movement. We'll keep you posted about the doings of true
conservative heroes—those men and women who are standing up for conservative
principles in their communities. And we'll warn you about the pretenders—those
wolves in sheep's clothing who claim the conservative mantle and then betray
conservative ideals in their words, votes, or actions. We'll even provide a
conservative calendar, to keep you up-to-date on all the conservative
happenings in your area and around the country.
ConservativeHQ.com gives you an opportunity every day to send a message to the
Big-Government Republicans.
536 Jack Abramoff former beltway insider
Jack Abramoff was Washington's most influential lobbyist during the last decade. Working at the epicenter of world power, he was a witness to the culture of staggering corruption and rampant greed corroding America's political system. You may think Washington is crooked. But Abramoff knows firsthand just how harrowing and deeply nefarious it can be. In fact, he was a key player within that culture--and he paid the price, spending four years in prison after pleading guilty to fraud, conspiracy, and tax evasion charges in 2006. Having done his time, he is determined to shed light on the way lobbying creeps into virtually every industry in America. Clarion calls toward reform, Abramoff's talks afford us a rare and remarkably candid view of who really runs Washington, what their motivations are, and why they continue to exert such tremendous influence. His keynotes expose a system that is two-faced, but they also show us how we can create the change that is desperately needed at the highest reaches of power.
