Larry Ceola is the Botetourt County Republican Committee nominee in the Fincastle District Supervisors Race. A special election will be held this November to fill the position vacated by the death of Don Meredith. Ceola and his wife Terry raised two sons and his family has lived in Botetourt County over three decades. As the owner of Cavalier Automotive in Troutville, he has been a business owner for over 30 years. Ceola states he is concerned with the expansion of government. “Big Government on the federal and state levels has impacted our county and our citizens in negative ways,” said Ceola, “That is why I have chosen to run for Fincastle Supervisor.” Ceola stated, “When elected, I want to re-establish the concept of being a public servant.”
Ceola said “There are two things that I find to be of great importance in Botetourt County: 1. Preserving the unique character of Botetourt County’s rural environment; 2. Growing intelligently to keep that character intact while ensuring that Botetourt has the business, financial, and recreational resources necessary to ensure that it remains a wonderful place to live. Botetourt is a special and important place to me and I want nothing but the best for the County and its residents.”
Ceola said, “My years of business budget experience has given me a commonsense approach to separating wants from needs. I would like to see our government start to think outside the box and see if the “wants” can be reduced or eliminated, and some of the “needs” be built and paid for by private donations, grants, or endowments.”
Ceola said “I believe that our county government is well run and the services provided are as good if not better than many of the surrounding counties in Southwest Virginia. My concern is for the future.”
Ceola is a fiscal conservative. “I advocate avoiding deficit spending, size of government, encourage local trade, attracting new business and promoting current business both small and large.” Ceola elaborated, “I am a small business owner who appreciates that most small businesses in Botetourt County remain loyal to their location in this county.” Take a look at the county and ask, “Can we continue to sustain our lifestyle? Like many residents and business owners in the county, “Ceola continued, “I have had to cut back in my personal and business expenses. I think it only prudent that our local, government do the same in order to maintain a low debt ratio and insure the future for the next generation.”
Ceola stated “I’ve tried to do my part to preserve the untouched parts of Botetourt while developing in a responsible manner. When I relocated my business to Troutville in 2002, I built in the 604 corridor, an area that is already home to business and development. On the opposite end, I am a member of the American Tree Farm System and the State of Virginia Stewardship Program.
“Change is inevitable and almost on a daily basis the face of Botetourt is changing from rural to suburban,” Ceola said, “As a business owner, I do welcome responsible growth and development as these are necessary to provide our citizens with the services they require: our excellent schools and recreational systems, responsive police and fire departments and low taxes.”
“My hope that Botetourt grows and develops intelligently while retaining its unique country atmosphere isn’t just a convenient slogan; it has been my way of life for years.”

McSweeney and other Constitutional Conservatives Endorse Goad for 6th District Chair
McSweeney and other Constitutional Advocates Recognize Danny Goad's Stand for Principle and Leadership Skills
The 2nd Tuesday Constitution Group is non partisan and endorses no candidate or party. However, as individual members of the group we all follow our conscience and the 1st Amendment.
From our association and interaction with Danny Goad we have very much appreciated the qualities of leadership that Danny has consistently exhibited and his willingness to reach out to and work with others and to go the extra mile. The principles that he stands upon, the Virginia Constitution, U.S. Constitution and the founding documents our country was built on are what we hold in common. Our faith in our Creator and these documents must be placed first, come what may.
Danny's quality of character is not one that will fold up under pressure. We believe Danny will make the hard decisions in the fairest possible way, always bearing in mind principle over personality.
Ricardo Moriera - Chairman
Phillip Spence - Vice Chairman

Marshall Endorses Goad for 6th District Chair
Can you take four to five minutes from your busy day to think about a decision that will have effects on you, your family and Virginia for years to come?
I am talking about the Sixth District Republican Convention race where you and other fellow conservatives will set a course for our Virginia Republican Party.
The decision is yours to make, not mine, although I do have a preference for the Sixth District.
I would just like to first share with you the benefit of my experience of my more than 32 years in Republican politics, 19 years as an elected official, and 6 years as a Congressional staff aide.
Clearly, the most successful American politician of the last part of the 20th Century was President Ronald Reagan. He called himself a conservative, and did not apologize. He ran as a Republican. He said he was 100% pro life because it was a moral issue. He opposed high taxes because he thought it weakened American families. He called the Soviet Union the Evil Empire because it was. He would not compromise any moral principle for political gain. He won the presidency twice after serving as Governor of California.
In 1975 Ronald Reagan criticized the spending policies of Republican President Gerald Ford for adopting the deficit spending and debt increasing habits of the Democratic controlled Congress. Sad to say, the current crop of debt-loving liberal Democrats in Congress can point to the debt increases approved by congressional Republicans who voted to grow the debt on our children when George Bush was president. Unfortunately, the record shows the Democrat critics are correct!
If we depart from our own principles “just a little bit,” we are not in a good position to criticize Democrats when they do it with gusto.
By voting for Danny Goad for Sixth Republican Chair on May 22 at 10:00AM in Lynchburg at the Towns Alumni Center, Liberty University, we can bring back that successful Reagan formula of combining conservative social and economic principles to win elections.
Danny Goad, father of six, is a Mechanical Engineer with an MBA. Danny has been involved in conservative Republican efforts and elections for 18 years. He has been vice-chairman or chairman of three local Republican units. If ever our nation needed principled individuals willing to lead it is now. Danny Goad is a committed conservative and is willing to serve as Sixth District Republican Chair.
Ronald Reagan did not win victories in Virginia and across America by himself. He had the support of a Republican Political Party structure, people like you and me, who were largely conservative.
We, you and I together, can do that again for Virginia with a vote for conservative Republican Danny Goad on May 22.
Thank you for all you do to preserve our Republic and our Liberties. If you have any questions, call me on my cell phone at 703-853-4213.
Hopefully,
Delegate Bob Marshall, R - 13th District of Virginia

One of our own makes the 2010 Rising Stars list!
Campaigns & Elections’ Politics magazine released it's list of 2010 Rising Stars yesterday. Among many consultants, campaign managers, grassroots organizers and fundraisers, we see Meredith Quillen ... Now, her name may not ring a bell or mean much to you - but when you look at who she is and what she has accomplished, you'll see why this is such a big deal.
Meredith is considered, by many, one of the big reasons Ken Cuccinelli was elected. She served as his campaign manager in his run for Attorney General in 2009 and has either consulted or run every single one of his races before that! We are all very proud of her and her dedication to getting conservatives back in office.
"Campaigns & Elections Rising Stars are people less than 35 years old who have already made a significant mark in political consulting, campaigning or advocacy. The 2010 class includes 15 Democrats, 15 Republicans and 11 nonpartisan or international leaders chosen from a pool of hundreds of nominees. The Rising Stars will be honored in the June issue of Politics."
Meredith is one of two Virginians featured on the list.
Cuccinelli tweeted this morning: "Truth is, she's not 'rising,' she's been a star awhile now!" Congratulations, Meredith, and thank you for your hard work!
