The shad is a fish which migrates from freshwater to saltwater and then back again each year, stopping in Wakefield somewhere along this journey where it ends up on a plank in front of some of the biggest political names and issues in the state. This year's primo political gathering the Shad Planking is coming up on April 16, with Governors Mark Warner and Jim Gilmore (one of whom will be a senator next year) as speakers along with State Del. Bob Marshall.

The planking is held at the Wakefield Sportsmen's Club, where there will be plenty of food. Tickets can be purchased from the Wakefield Ruritan Club, P.O. Box 148, Wakefield, VA 23888. (Tickets ordered before April 1 are $18, otherwise they are $20.) You can also order them from the Virginia Diner at 1-888-VA-DINER. Info can be found at http://hrblogs.typepad.com/the_shad_plank/2008/03/southeast-virgi.html or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shad_Planking#2008_Event.

I'm sure that many Richmond area libertarians are amazed at the buzz Ron Paul's campaign for President is generating. Paul recently passed the $5 million mark, raising more so far than former front runner John McCain. Now there's an effort to coordinate what is probably the largest public fundraising drive for a political candidate in a single day on November 5th (the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot).

ThisNovember5th.com is an effort to get 100,000 people to pledge $100 to the Paul campaign on November 5th. Raising $10 million in one day from the general electorate would be an unprecedented example of spontaneous grassroots support for any candidate, let alone one with a libertarian political agenda. It would also demonstrate to all the naysayers in the elite political and media establishments that Paul is truly electable.

Libertarians have a unique opportunity right now to help make history. If you support Ron Paul and can afford it, please add your name to the list of pledgers today!
