Welcome: 30 years is enough!

We are not kooks. We are not radicals. We are not fringe goofballs.

However, we are regular people with regular problems and regular lives. We also vote and represent a cross-section of Fairfax County. We are black, white, Hispanic, Democrat, Republican, Modern Whig. We care deeply about our community and know when something isn't right. That something is King Plum, delegate in Virginia's 36th House District.

King Plum has held this position for 30 years. If term limits were a pizza, this guy would be Italy. Plum started out strong as an educator, but that was many years ago. Now, he has been reduced to a political party hack and demonstrate entitlement to hold his position. A former Chairman of the local Democratic Party, King Plum is not exactly known for working with the Republicans down in Richmond, no matter what he says. Without political opposition and gonads of the Democratic Party, Plum has ignored the will of the regular people in Herndon and Reston with complete abandon. This is topped off by King Plum's outright disdain and lack of respect for the Reston Citizen's Association. All they wanted was a local voice in their community affairs. Unfortunately, King Plum sided with the policymakers speaking for the best interests of county government instead of local government.

This blog will continue to highlight the many reasons why 30 years is enough for King Ken Plum. June 9 primary day, hopefully, will be liberation day when we can finally shake off this partisan monarch and bring a new, vibrant, bi-partisan voice to Richmond.
