Dear Rob,

Take the Fight to Richmond
We're Counting on You Coming
Thursday will be a big day for Virginians, and everyone's counting on you being there.
The buses are paid and there's still room, so encourage friends to come even if they can't share in the cost. RSVP for bus seats online.

What You Need to Know

Come Prepared
Please pack a lunch if you'll be riding the bus. Bring comfortable shoes and layered clothes. Hand made signs are important --please try to make one or two. Avoid sticks or poles for signs as the police may need to relieve you of these. Study up. Print out information on energy bills to support.

To Catch the Warrenton Bus
Please be at the Warrenton Park and Ride Lot in time to board the bus at 11:15 am. Here is a map. The bus will exit the Commuter Lot at 11:30 sharp, so don't be late! The Commuter Lot is just east of Warrenton at the northwest corner of US 29/211 & VA 605. Please pack a lunch for the ride down. Buses will return after the public hearing is complete.

To Catch the Haymarket Bus
Please be at the Dominion Valley Giant/Suntrust Shopping Center by 10:50 am and on the bus by 11:00 am. The Dominion Valley Giant is at 5581 Merchants View Square, Haymarket, VA 20169. Here is a map. Please pack a lunch for the ride down. Buses will return after the public hearing is complete.

Driving Directions to the Rally
The Rally is at 1000 Capitol Street in downtown Richmond. Here is a Mapquest map and here are driving directions. If you're in your car and didn't print those, don't despair! Just stay on 95 S and exit 74C onto E Broad Street.

Parking
Allow extra time for parking and to walk to the Rally. Metered on street parking is hard to find in downtown Richmond; here is a list of garages.

Attend the Richmond Rally 1:30 pm
The rally will be held at the Darden Garden (directly outside of the General Assembly building 900 E. Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia).

Spend the Afternoon Lobbying the General Assembly
Citizens can lobby too. After the rally, talk with state senators and delegates. Ask them to support the many important energy and transmission related bills.

Attend the Public Hearing at 6 pm
Come to the General Assembly Building (9th & Broad Streets), Senate Room A for the public hearing on energy and transmission legislation, sponsored by Senator Chuck Colgan and Delegate Joe May.

Invite friends to keep up to date on this issue.
