@TubRorabaugh I think states should do away with primaries. Why should taxpayers be required to pay for party nomination contests? It is even worse in states where they legally ban some people from participation.

The good news is that the House of Representatives has voted to end Trump's unconstitutional war in Iran. The bad news is that my awful Congressman, Ben Cline (VA-6), has once again voted with Trump and against the Constitution.

@DaveCrance @TheModerateVA I can't say I can think of any candidates who meet those criteria.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@LPofMN Virginia doesn’t allow any write-ins on their primary ballots.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@Lalligangof9 @royermattw It depends on the method of nomination. If a Republican or Democrat is unopposed or the party doesn’t use a primary for nomination then they don’t need to collect signatures.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@Rlues1 @royermattw I haven’t looked at Germany’s requirements yet but thank you for that info. It seems in New Zealand all candidates require only two signatures from voters in the district.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@Rlues1 @royermattw So far in my research I've found many democracies have the same rules for all candidates regardless of their political affiliation or lack thereof.

@TheModerateVA I was working for the Republican Party of Virginia when the marriage amendment passed back in 2006. It was a big deal then but people are a lot more accepting twenty years later. Live and let live I say. Then again, I was kicked out of the RPV 12 years ago unrelated to this issue

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@LP_CLC I see you removed from the quote that traitor to the cause "Austin Petersen freedom ninja in your face libertarian".

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@DaveCrance @TheModerateVA Hello Dave! Things are going well. I’m glad the university is on break. How are things in Northern Virginia?

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@tedcruz Or this one.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@tedcruz Can't unsee this one.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

Today, I walked through Lower Hutt. One great thing about living in an area with many cultures is you can find a lot of stuff from around the world nearby. I bought tea cakes from Britain, stroopwaffles and Gouda from the Netherlands, and mochi from Taiwan.

@RepBenCline @DrOzCMS Is the American taxpayer feeling relief from Trump’s unconstitutional tariffs? Why have you never spoken against this issue?

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

This year, I had to pay taxes in both the U.S. and N.Z. In the U.S. you have to fill out complicated forms or pay someone to do it for you. In N.Z. I didn’t fill out anything and just received a notice that they would be issuing me a small refund.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@NancyMace These kinds of posts makes me think that Ms. Mace might have some kind of mental illness. Trump has clearly rejected you and yet you still desperately cling to him. My advice is to stop defending someone who treats you like garbage.

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@ChaseForLiberty Are we sure he isn't just trolling for attention?

[Joshua Huffman @VaJoshua]

@KellyLMcCarty Speaking of that, it has never made sense to me why so many Southern folk are supporting a godless, big-city Northerner.
