Vern McKinley was mentioned in the Winchester Star yesterday. The article mentioned the successful effort to get on the ballot in opposition to Frank Wolf.
Through McKinley’s Web site, www.mckinleyforcongress.com, the candidate has informed voters that he has met the threshold that requires 1,000 signatures of qualified voters in the 10th Congressional District to get on the primary ballot.
According to the McKinley campaign, the general registrar for Loudoun County certified that he had met that requirement.
Also interesting, the article describes yet another Frank Wolf ‘yes’ vote to take money out of tax payers pockets for the greater good.

10th District Blogger Supports McKinley, Criticizes Wolf
Filed Under 2008 Election, Frank Wolf, Gun Control, News Items, big government | Leave a Comment
The blogger at apocryph.org has taken positive notice of Vern McKinley’s campaign and has some harsh criticism of Frank Wolf.
A while back I mentioned Vern McKinley’s 10th district congressional bid. He’s gathered enough signatures to make it on the ballot for the Republican primary, and is gearing up to fight the Feckless Wonder, congressman Frank Wolf, with whom I am not amused.
If you would like to see Frank Wolf turned out and replaced with a small-government, go-to-hell-I’m-keeping-my-guns Republican, contribute to Vern McKinley for Congress. I just did. Even Dick Heller of Heller vs. DC fame is supporting him.
Also, check out his earlier posts criticizing Wolf:
The first article above articulates one of the very reasons Vern McKinley is running against Wolf: Wolf’s support of wasteful government programs. Vern understands the necessity for true conservative limited government, especially at a time when the economy is suffering as it is today.

Dick Heller and Vern McKinley Get Noticed At Gun Show
Filed Under 2008 Election, News Items | Leave a Comment
From the Armed Canadian blog comes an article about meeting Dick Heller who happened to be present trying to get out the vote at Vern McKinley’s campaign table at the Nation’s Gun Show last weekend.
He was at the table for Vern McKinley, who is campaigning for VA Congressional District 10. He introduced himself and I shook his hand with an emphatic “Thank you!”. He talked a little about the DC gun ban, asked where I was from and I told him, “Maryland.”. He replied, “I’m sorry.”. I agreed with that, saying things were tough here.
To which he responded, “At least until June.” with a grin.

Filed Under Earmarks, Frank Wolf, News Items, Taxes, big government | Leave a Comment
The McLean Connection covered the 10th district Congressional race earlier this month. In the article Vern McKinley is critical of his opponent Frank Wolf on earmarks and spending.
McKinley decided to run against Frank Wolf in the primary after doing some research on the congressman during the 2006 election. McKinley was upset that the National Taxpayers Union had given Wolf a rating of only 45 percent.
“I was just amazed at how bad [Wolf] was on spending issues and earmark issues and pork barrel spending,” said McKinley.

Winchester Star Newspaper Covers Vern
Filed Under 2008 Election, Economics, Frank Wolf, News Items, Republicans, Taxes, big government | Leave a Comment
The Winchester Star covered Vern McKinley’s campaign earlier this month in an article about Virginia’s 10th District House race.
McKinley, who appeared at the mass meeting of Winchester Republicans on March 26, said he wants to offer the voters of the 10th District someone with Reagan values and a desire for smaller government.
“Since our launch of the campaign last summer, I have heard from people living in all parts of the district in person, by e-mail, by phone, and through social Web sites,” McKinley said in a statement released by his staff. “Voters in the 10th District want to put an end to big spending and big government as the answer to every policy challenge.
“They think Congressman Wolf is now part of the problem, not part of the solution.”
The GOP and the Democratic Party will each select their candidates for the 10th District race during primaries on June 10.
