Town Hall Call: Heritage Action discussion about the Virginia gas-powered cars ban
2023-10-30 19:15 - 20:15 | Conference Call
Over the last three years, conservative Virginians have fought against government regulations eliminating gas cars in the commonwealth. The regulation, instituted in 2021, ties Virginia to the same emission standards and vehicle requirements as California. Efforts to repeal the “Clean Car” act were blocked in the democratically controlled state senate last session.
The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers is holding a telephone town hall for Virginia residents this Monday, October 30, at 7:15 p.m. The town hall is focused on Virginia’s vehicle regulations, and specifically the 2021 law signed by former Governor Ralph Northam that requires Virginia to follow California’s electric vehicle sales mandate and eventually California’s ban on sales of all new gas cars and trucks.
If you’re looking for more information about this topic and the ongoing effort led by Governor Glenn Youngkin to have the 2021 law repealed, please consider dialing into the town hall.
Here’s the information for Monday, October 30, at 7:15 p.m.:
– Phone number: 877-229-8493
– Pin number to join the call: 122568
Participants will have the option to ask questions of a range of speakers during the call, including:
– Virginia Delegate Tony Wilt, sponsor of legislation to repeal the 2021 law and take away California’s control over the cars Virginians will and won’t be able to buy in future years.
– Steve Bradbury, Distinguished Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a frequent writer and speaker about vehicle policy issues.
– Chet Thompson, President and CEO of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM).

Summer Summit 2023 - "Enemies: Seen and Unseen"
2023-06-10 10:00 - 15:00 | Sheraton Richmond Airport Hotel, 5501 Eubank Rd, Sandston, VA, 23150, United States
The Virginia Tea Party always tries to present members with engaging and relevant summits twice a year. Our next summit will be June 10th at the Sheraton Airport Hotel (same as last time), 5501 Eubank Rd., Sandston, VA 23150, 804-226-6400 with the same low price of $40, which includes a box lunch.
As we all know, America is currently facing many enemies, some like China, are readily apparent but others are often hidden from us. In keeping with this idea, we developed our June summit as the Enemies: Seen and Unseen.
The seen enemy of China will be presented to us by CMD John Hooper, US Coast Guard retired who is an expert on China. He will share with us information on how China is a threat to our homeland. In view of the recent “weather” balloon, this will be a very interesting presentation.
Now who are the enemies that are unseen, lurking behind facades of government? China Joe, of course readily comes to mind!! However, there are others who pretend to be patriots but are secretly working against the best interests of our Congress and our statehouses. To address this we have Congressman Bob Good who held up the appointment of Speaker McCarthy until certain agreements were made.
In our own statehouse in Richmond there are many others who hide behind a cloak of conservatism, but are really “woke” leftists, unseen enemies. To address this problem, we have two speakers from Americans For Prosperity, C. J. Sailor, Director of AFP for Virginia and Matt Davison, Assistant Director of AFP. They have spent many months examining all the General Assembly races and the candidates for the November election and will give us their assessment along with suggestions for how we as Tea Party folks can make sure we elect the guys in “white hats” to the GA in November.
We think this summit will be an eye opener for all of us and we plan to see you there!!

Nelson VelezChairman, VATPSo much bad has happened to our Republic, just in the last several years. We have been besieged on all fronts and for such a long time. And there seems to be no bottom. The left’s onslaught on our Republic, rights, freedom and rule of law seems be full throttle and progressing without any serious backlash. And so, the left has become increasingly open in expressing their radical agenda. Make no mistake, we do fight the threats both seen and unseen.
But the good news is WE have become increasingly unified with natural allies. We have not gone away. On this Enemies Seen & Unseen summit, we have champions that have been tested on the battlefield in support of our foundational principles. Today, we take on the threats both seen and unseen and we present our pathway to victory. And once we win, we will purge all the nasty, lawless and radical legislation that has held our freedoms, rights and even our children hostage.
On this day, we signal the beginning of the end to the bad direction from the radical left. And, On this Day, We the People Ascend!
