Keep the Carrier
As the Bush administration was on its way out the door, a major decision was made about plans to transfer a critical Norfolk-based aircraft carrier to Florida. We cannot allow this to happen.
This unnecessary transfer would have devastating consequences here in Virginia. Thousands of jobs would be lost, and it would deepen the economic crisis in Hampton Roads.
Thanks to the leadership of Senators Webb and Warner, Governor Kaine and our Congressional delegation, the Department of Defense has agreed to review this decision.
But Florida’s lobbying hard to move this carrier, and I need your help to show where Virginians stand on this issue. By applying public pressure, we can demonstrate that Virginia’s the most military-friendly state in the nation. No one knows the Navy like we do.

The day after Defense Secretary Robert Gates defended the Navy’s plan to relocate a Norfolk-based aircraft carrier to Florida, Terry McAuliffe, a Democratic candidate for governor, sent out an e-mail to supporters asking that they lobby to keep it in Virginia.
“This unnecessary transfer would have devastating consequences here in Virginia,” he wrote in the e-mail. “Thousands of jobs would be lost and it would deepen the economic crisis in Hampton Roads.”

McAuliffe Campaign Releases First Television Ad: "Listened"
Today, Terry McAuliffe’s campaign for governor released its first television advertisement in Hampton Roads. The 30-second spot, titled “Listened,” highlights ideas on strengthening the region’s economy that McAuliffe has heard from people as he’s traveled across Hampton Roads. Emphasizing that the best ideas don’t always come out of Richmond, McAuliffe discusses his lifetime experience of creating jobs and his focus on getting Virginia’s economy back on track.
“I’ve spent four decades building businesses and creating jobs,” McAuliffe says in the ad. “Now, I’m running for Governor because I know we can create thousands more right here. I’ll make it my job to protect your job – and get Virginia’s economy moving.
Our First TV Ad
I’m excited to announce that we’re launching our first television ad of the campaign. In this 30-second spot, Terry champions some of the ideas he’s heard from folks in Hampton Roads about how to help the region’s economy.
Terry’s heard great ideas from every corner of the Commonwealth during his travels, but too many people in the legislature just aren’t listening. In the coming weeks, we’re going to communicate directly with voters across Virginia about the issues that hit home with them.

Jeff Beck of Chesterfield County asks about transportation solutions beyond the road system
Jeff Beck of Chesterfield County asks: Mr. McAuliffe, There is a lot of talk in Virginia politics about transportation and the fight for road developments and improvements between Northern Virginia and Central and South Virginia. However, I am curious what you are planning to do for Virginia beyond fixing the logjam in the legislature over roads, what will you do to move Virginia to its next step forward to continue the path Gov. Warner and Kaine have set us upon?
Jeff, Gov. Kaine has made record investments in rail and public transit and he has better connected land use and transportation planning – in twenty years, we’re going to look back at the changes he’s made and truly understand their importance. We need to continue down this path, maintaining a solid emphasis on high-efficiency methods for moving people and goods. We need to see the Dulles rail project through – and then we need to think about what other communities we can connect to Metro. We need to improve transit in Hampton Roads, including transit that moves people across the water. We need passenger rail that connects more parts of Virginia together, and we need to get more freight off the highways and onto the rail system.

Dottie Goldman of Virginia Beach asks about the Dillon Rule
Dottie Goldman, Virginia Beach: Will you work to eliminate the Dillon rule which stifles the more progressive areas of the state from moving forward? We in Hampton Roads (I hate that identifier!) and you in NoVa. are held hostage by the rural right wingers in Richmond. Thank you for listening.
Dottie: For those unfamiliar with the Dillon rule: The Dillon rule says that localities derive their power from the state. Virginia interprets this to mean that localities only have the powers explicitly given to them by the legislature.
