by James Curtis
Dear colleagues,
I have a piece of good news for you and some bits of bad news. The good news is that Tom Perriello’s days as our Congressman are numbered. The bad news is that is Robert Hurt doesn’t need our votes to win [...]
The Perriello plunder: Congressman buying votes with stolen constituent money
As widely anticipated, the publicly funded Congressional vote-buying schemes have begun—just in time to impact November elections. And characteristically, Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello is at the stratagem’s forefront.
Perriello, who infamously muttered the foreboding phrase, “if you don’t tie our hands, we’ll keep stealing,” is employing his loosed limbs to fulfill this pusillanimous promise.

Guest editorial: Is Big Brother a bio-terrorist?
Is Big Brother a bio-terrorist?
by Tim Griffith
The U. S. Government has waged a Bio-Terrorism campaign on American citizens for over a decade! It’s a fact and only the victims seem to be aware of it. The victims are the states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, and most notably the people that live and work in [...]
Still dangerous after all these weeks: Charlottesville High School bridge safety hazard continues
Nearly two months after being chronicled as a public safety hazard on The Schilling Show Blog and News, the connecting bridge between Charlottesville High School (CHS) and McIntire Park remains extremely dangerous.
Large sections of the safety railing have been missing for weeks on-end after the bridge was briefly repaired in April. Now out-of-sight apparently equals [...]

In an amazing turnabout of tolerance, more than 20 left-wing protesters from the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice (CCPJ) were allowed to congregate, mill and perform (anti-Bush!) “street theatre” (see video and photos below) in the parking lot of Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello’s Charlottesville office, Wednesday, May 19, 2010, without complaint.
This, on the heels [...]
Video vilification: David Brown’s bullying pulpit
Time and time again, citizens have bemoaned abusive reception at the hands of Democrat Charlottesville City Councilors during meetings both public and private. And over the years, many residents—Democrats and Republicans alike—who may on occasion disagree with Council, have stopped attending or speaking-out at City Council meetings, fearful of a public tongue-lashing by bumptious and [...]
Guest editorial: Our future relies on our faith
Our future relies on our faith
by Hank Martin
The first four decades of recorded American history displayed extraordinary events in the birth of America. In a relatively short period, America rose up against royalty, defeated the British Empire, the mightiest upon the planet at the time, and garnered independence here in the New World. Out of [...]
TKO: Perriello vs. Del Rosso on health care reform
On April 21, 2010, after an 18 month absence, Congressman Tom Perriello returned to the “ring” (aka The Schilling Show), this time to debate a 5th district constituent, Michael Del Rosso, on the process, merits, and constitutionality of nationalized health care legislation—for which the Congressman proudly voted.
Listeners may be frustrated by Tom’s elusiveness: using “stick [...]
