Vote No 4x in Virginia
If you disagree, you must vote NO to these proposed amendments.
Guiding Principals of Constitutional Change
Constitutions, state and federal, are documents that should guide our decision making. They should only be amended by careful review and scrutiny. Most matters of conflict are decided by law and should never rise to the level of changing the constitution.
The constitution provides the fundamental principles that provide government stability and protect minority rights from the political power of one party. To change the United States Constitution, it requires ratification by two-thirds of the states. To change the Constitution of Virginia, it requires a simple majority. The threshold in Virginia is low to change the Constitution. This has created a quagmire in which one party rule is trampling on the rights of the minority.
The proposed amendments specifically target the vulnerable: preborn children, minors, parents, religious organizations, people of faith, people with deeply held convictions, victims of human trafficking, victims of crime, those seeking to maintain protection for sex separate spaces, and voter representation in Congress.
Decisions to amend the constitution should not be snap decision made in special sessions of the General Assembly when a majority of the voters have not had time to review or understand the implications of the amendment. This is what occurred in Virginia when a special session was called the week prior to the November 2025 election. This session was called specifically to pass the redistricting amendment so that it could be voted on for a second time by the 2026 General Assembly.
Changing the constitution frequently degrades its value. Rather than focusing on the guiding principles of the constitution to make law, the constitution becomes ordinary, something that can be changed without serious forethought. Its authority is lost. It is no longer a guiding structure but simply a document that can be changed by the will of the ruling party. This is tyranny. The foundational document designed to specifically protect the minority becomes a worthless piece of paper controlled by the ruling class.
