What Chris Said

I've known Chris Casey for a number of years, and I had the privledge of working with him on the 2004 presidential campaign. It was during that time that he first told me about his fight with his property owners association over its ban on political yard signs.

There are not a lot of issues that legitimately transcend partisan politics, but here is something surely all sides can agree on — the right to free political speech is one of the most basic, and most important, rights we have as Americans, and you shouldn't have to sacrifice that right when you buy a home. As Chris says his piece in the "Sunday Outlook" section of the Washington Post today:

What the Constitution gives, neither my POA nor my neighbors should be able to take away. Moving into a POA-ruled neighborhood should not mean moving out of America.

That's exactly right. If you live in Virginia, please help the cause by calling your Delegate and Senator and urging them to support HB 878 and SB 621. The speech you save might well be your own.
