Dear Editor:

At a time when public events can be unpredictable, the recent rally held on Oct.28th for Abigail Spanberger at the Stanley Fire Hall stood out for one key reason — how safe and secure it felt. Thanks to the dedicated work of our local police officers and public safety teams, hundreds of attendees were able to gather, listen and participate in a spirited event that showcased democracy at its best.

More than two hundred people came together to hear Abigail Spanberger, who spoke passionately about her priorities for Virginia — strengthening the economy, improving schools, expanding access to healthcare, and addressing challenges within the federal government.

This event marked one of the largest and most significant political gatherings in Page County’s recent history. In a time of division and uncertainty, the community came out in force to support dialogue, engagement, and civic participation — all made possible by the professionalism and presence of local law enforcement ensuring everyone’s safety.

The Page County Democratic Committee (PCDC) had been working for over a year and a half to bring Ms. Spanberger to our community, and we are proud that out of all the rural counties across Virginia, she chose Page County as a stop on her final campaign tour.

To our police officers, fire personnel, and volunteers who ensured a secure and successful event — thank you for protecting not just our safety, but our shared right to gather, listen, and be heard.

Miles Morimoto, Chair, Page County Democratic Committee ~ Luray, Va.

  1. Jeff. Maybe they didn’t want to press that issue because of hybristophilia. Hybristophilia is a sexual interest in criminals.

    • It is difficult to understand folks like you that have been brainwashed, misinformed and disinformed by Fox News and who are getting their health care, wages and dreams ripped off and you are still supporting the current administration! The current administration has taken hard-earned taxpayer money to pay billionaire and millionaire technocrats and other 1% folks in corporate welfare. The current administration doesn’t want to release the Epstein Files because the President is in them. The current administration has gutted and broken every one of the alphabet agencies. The current administration doesn’t care for anyone, let alone the working class. The President has blasphemed Christianity in every which way possible in adultery, immorality, cruelty and greed. He has given a permission structure for lawlessness, cruelty, divisiveness and no due process. He has caused economic damage with unrealistic tariffs and trade war. Democrats want to uphold civil rights, healthcare, consumer protection, fair wages and due process even for you folks despite your misinformed, disinformed and hateful misgivings. Please wake up and stop this blind and foolhardy support to the current administration.

      • SP. you’re a typical liberal. You make a bunch of accusations that CNN told you to say and provide zero examples or actual evidence to support any of them. You are the problem. You are I obsessed with Trump and it’s very bizarre behavior for an adult.

  2. Hey, when these elections are over and everyone is done arguing let’s cast votes for a real hero like Tim Woodward whom was nominated for CNN hero of the year for his work rescuing animals from dire situations. It would be a vote we could all agree on and cast without putting a R or D in front of the name, so let’s support Tim by voting on The CNN website for him win this well deserved honor.

    • Hey Dave. Barack Obama murdered American citizens overseas with bombs with no judge and jury. He did it all without congressional consent. I’m sorry but you do not have any moral high ground where you can cast aspersions from. You voted for a man who clearly had dementia and a women who was appointed, not nominated. Harris also raised over a billion dollars in a few short months. Your argument about oligarchs, imperialism and genocide are simply things the democrat party is guilty of only in the past 15 years.
