"Ides of March" email to Van YahresDate: Sat, 15 Mar 2003From: "Blair Hawkins" Subject: Cville Native to Oppose Mitch Van Yahres To: "Mitch Van Yahres" CC: "John Pfaltz", "Robert Hodous", "WINA" March 15, 2003 Dear Mitch Van Yahres, In May, I will declare my intention to seek the Republican nomination to represent Charlottesville and Albemarle in the Virginia House of Delegates. At that time, I will file official papers and post this email to my website. In my speech at the convention, I will paint the campaign as a historic contest between a man who voted for urban renewal and a man whose family was displaced and disempowered by those votes. The election will be a referendum on the Fifth Amendment. I will build a coalition among rich and poor, black and white, Democrats and Republicans, and also people who have not voted for years. In this moment of history, it would be irresponsible for me to sit quietly at home. I look forward to a literate and spirited debate on the major issues of the day.
Best of luck to you,
