Joe May's Friends

The local election for Delegate here in Leesburg made the front page of MyDD today. And a very interesting affiliation of Joe May's was brought to light.
"Black Katrina victims are "pestilent vermin." "These leeches will go on to pollute the communities [where] they're relocated" - statement made in 2004 by a Sons of Confederate Veterans President.

"We seek a return to ... a majority European-derived society." Statement made in 2000 by a Sons of Confederate Veterans Executive Council Member - MyDD

And the connection to our delegate, Joe May?
So why does Virginia, the state that decided to reject George "Macaca" Allen as a Senator, have Joe T. May, self-proclaimed treasurer of his Sons of the Confederate Veterans chapter, representing their 33rd District in the State Assembly? - MyDD
The Sons of Confederate Veterans is a heritage organization that has been dominated by white supremacists since 2002.

For the past five years, we have been represented in the House of Delegates by the Treasurer of an organization with overt, racist policies and leadership. (And just in case Joe May's Assembly biography linked above is "updated" in the next few days, a copy of the page has been preserved.)

Those are not Loudoun values. Joe May must be defeated next Tuesday. Go give Marty Martinez some support.

Please help (Evan M - 10/30/2007 10:19:25 PM)
Please help if you can, if only by providing a link to the MyDD article from any reference to Joe May.

Virginia is better than this. We are all better than this.



allow me to quote Post endorsement (teacherken - 10/31/2007 7:32:39 AM)
which can be found here:

District 33: Republican Del. Joe T. May, a 14-year incumbent, is highly respected in Richmond for his decency and deep knowledge of science and technology issues. The founder and owner of a successful engineering company, Mr. May represents a vanishing breed of Virginia Republicans for whom hot-button wedge issues are less interesting than the hard work of serious lawmaking. Shunning the GOP's noisy hard-liners, he's backed important bills to improve public education and transportation. Mr. May's substantive record has left his Democratic challenger, F.J. "Marty" Martinez, nipping harmlessly at his heels.


Marty did a nice job on George Burke's show a couple of weeks back (Used2Bneutral - 10/31/2007 9:03:42 AM)
Marty Martinez and Mike George were the focus of an hour show with George Burke.... here is the link for those who haven't seen him before.... http://video.google....

He is Sooooo much better than the white supremacist Joe May



Marty's Hypcocrisy (hodus - 10/31/2007 10:27:30 AM)
With Marty's ties to La Voz, a group which he co-founded whose former director admitted that they do not check if they are helping illegal immigrants or not, would go after Joe this way. Not only has Marty secured tax-payer dollars to fund this illegal immigrant welcoming center in Loudoun he is also tied to La Raza which means The Race, where have we heard that before...

Shame on Marty for attacking a good man and I still have a little faith in the Post, even though they did endorse Vogel, not to endorse a racist.



Not Marty (Evan M - 10/31/2007 11:05:57 AM)
Um... Marty's not attacking Joe May.

If anyone is attacking Joe May, I am.

But, and this is critical, I'm not Treasurer of Marty's campaign, I'm not even affiliated with Marty's campaign, so you shouldn't blame Marty for things I say.

Contrast that with Joe May, who IS Treasurer of an organization whose leadership says awful, awful things, and has been saying them for five years.

Comparing the modern SCV (who wants to return the country to a whites-only ruling class) to La Raza (who wants equality in society for people of hispanic origins) is a false comparison.



Hypocritical slogan (KathyinBlacksburg - 10/31/2007 10:42:31 AM)
Note the slogan: "Anything but submission."  Ironically (though these guys have no sense of it) they expect everyone else to submit to their radical wrong (I can't say "right") agenda.  Indeed, the entire theocratic wrong-wing predicates their religio-political platform on submission to the head (male) of the household and submission of the electorate to a president selected (not elected) by them and the rest of the radical theocrats (white males only need apply).  That is to say, no Constitutional liberites for citizens, and no equality for women and minorities in private and civic life.


Correction (KathyinBlacksburg - 10/31/2007 10:45:06 AM)
The slogan I referred to in my comment above should read, "Any fate but submission,"


Grasping at straws (hodus - 10/31/2007 11:26:37 AM)
Show me where the Leesburg SCV has said anything that is close to what you found on a google search. BTW, I know the Loudoun Chapters co-founder is an Episcopal Minister at the Oatlands chapel.

As far as Marty's campaign, you certainly seem to be involved with a desparate smear campaign in the final days because your candidate is broke, MIA, and does not even have the support of a single colleague on the Town Council which speaks volumes to his credability.



Simply issue a rejection (Evan M - 10/31/2007 12:03:59 PM)
I will welcome any statement from the Leesburg SCV or
Joe May criticizing the statements by the national leadership of their organization. I will welcome legislation proposed by Joe May censuring the SCV. That would demonstrate leadership and integrity.

I mean, if it was so important for the nation to criticize MoveOn.org for an ad in a newspaper, surely when an the national organization of which you are a local officer advocates return to whites-only rule in America, a similar critique is in order?



The term "La Raza" is a lost in translation thing (McGuffin - 10/31/2007 12:55:35 PM)
Yes, the actual translation of "la Raza" is "the race" ,however it is not meant to be racial as in a supremist type thing. It's more of like a romantic hertiage blood conection, as in like "Kiss Me I'm Irish". I've lived in Southern New Mexico off and on for the past 30 years and find the Mexican-Americans to be some of the most tolerant people I've ever seen. Multi-culturalism was here long before it was cool, and inter-marriage has been going on,literally, for generations.


Thanks for clarifying this (Lowell - 10/31/2007 1:50:41 PM)
...especially given that there's so much misinformation out there.


Joe May is a Fine Man (jackiehva - 10/31/2007 9:07:03 PM)
This is so much garbage and the worst example of negative campaign slime.  Joe May is a moderate Republican serving all the people in his district. He is a man of integrity and honor and is respected by both D's and R's.  Joe May is anything but a racist.  Joe May is not George Allen.
Many Republicans are, deservedly, going to lose next Tuesday but Joe May will not be one of them.


No doubt (Evan M - 11/1/2007 1:05:53 PM)
There's no doubt that Joe May is a good man, and a fine man, but that is not the point.

The point is that a person who chooses to be affiliated with an organization whose leadership espouses whites-only rule of America, to the point where he is an officer in that organization's local chapter, should not be representing us in Richmond!

It's not a question of his qualities as a person. It's a question of whether he's the best person to Represent the 33rd  district.

Joe May is not.
