Where the Virginia Whig Party is headed

Here's an update on where the Virginia Whig Party is heading.  Mike Lebowitz is both the Whig National Commitee Chair and the Virginia Whig Party Chair.  He is quite busy.  He has stated that he intends to refocus on building the Virginia Whig Party.  There are other states who have made progress in building their organizations.  These include California, Texas, and Florida.

I hesitate to post the entire text of a recent email Mike sent, but here is something he wrote about the future of the Virginia organization:
We are currently putting together a statewide committee. At the same time, we are looking for people willing to assist in developing local organizations on either the community, city or county level. It can be as simple as getting a few people together for a meeting and seeing where that leads. Others can assist by spreading the word about what we are working to build. None of us pretends to know everything, so your thoughts, ideas and feedback are certainly welcome.  Moreover, if someone is interested in running for office, local or otherwise, please let us know. We can enlist the entire national movement on any endeavor.
We still need to put together a website, a mailinglist, promotional materials, and figure out a discussion forum (which may be the forum I mentioned in the previous post).  Regardless, it is an exciting time for Virginia Whigs!

Whig Out!
