that Watkins Abbitt at first declined to answer based on whether the inquirer was a Republican or not.

That is the sign of a weak, spineless faux independent.

I have known about Connie Brennan's upcoming candidacy for some time now, and I wholeheartedly endorse and support her.

Connie Brennan for the 59th!!

Did you invite Virgil Goode to a Mosque?.  That invitation was hand delivered. According to Faithful America.org:

A "Goode" day for religious pluralism:  As promised, we assembled a delegation of thoughtful voices and paid a visit to Representative Virgil Goode (R-VA) to discuss his recent anti-Islamic comments. Our friend Dr. Sayyid Syeed of the Islamic Society of North America and four others joined us along with 8,000 of you in an hour-long meeting with the Congressman asking him to revisit his remarks and invite him to an Islamic service.
Bottom line - the Congressman emphatically stood by his original statement.  Of course, our goal was not to change the Congressman's personal faith - we celebrate it - but to simply ask him to lift his rhetoric in such a way as to create a climate of inclusion and mutual respect for persons of all faiths in our nation.  The very good news is that Rep. Goode said he would accept an invitation to attend a Muslim event in the near future.  Your participation in this petition campaign certainly helped to make our meeting possible.  Your encouraging words to Mr. Goode - especially if you are from the 5th district of VA - will help open new windows of understanding.

claims to be meeting with Virgil in the coming weeks. I got one of their emails.

I think it was MoveOn, but yes they got my comments also.

One to reverse the 2005 Military Commissions Act.

One to Fund SS and Medicare and keep the programs as they are. NO privitizing.
