By admin On Sep 10, 2012 Regular Meetings 0 No Comments Tags: Ken Cuccinelli, Regular Meeting

Meet Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli at our next meeting on Monday, September 17th (Constitution Day) at RiRa Irish Pub in Clarendon.

As Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli is one of the most vocal opponents of federal government overreach. He was the first state Attorney General to file suit against Obamacare in 2010. And in February 2012, he won the “Defender of the Constitution” award at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. for his tireless defense of the rule of law.

As usual, happy hour will begin at 7 pm, and the meeting will begin at 7:30.

It promises to be an exciting evening, so invite your friends and co-workers too!
