TIME TO TAKE A STAND:  Is it Virginia or Bush?

RICHMOND - With President Bush raising money in Virginia Friday, the Democratic Party of Virginia today sent a questionnaire to Republicans running for office this year.  The survey asks the officials if they plan to accept money from President Bush, given his track record on issues important to Virginia.  If they do intend to take his money, the survey goes on to find out who they intend to stand with on critical issues facing our state:  the partisan President who raises them money and practices Washington-style politics, or hardworking Virginians who need their leaders to work together to deliver results.  

A copy of the survey is below.  Results will be tracked on the Party's website.
