Virginia Liberty Project is bringing Liz Cheney and Kate Obenshain together to headline the launching event for the new organization. Judging by the list of organizations sponsoring this event, I expect that just one week from today, the elegant Waterford event center, next to Fair Oaks Mall, will be packed with a “who’s who” list of conservative citizen activists.
Cheney and Obenshain are formidable women who bring a great deal of experience in Virginia and federal politics to the table. Cheney has been raising her profile in the Commonwealth since the close of the Bush Administration, with many people urging her to seek office in the near future. Obenshain continues her service to the Commonwealth by advancing conservative principles through commentary on Virginia and national politics.
These women might agree with founding mother, Abigail Adams, who wrote:
“Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.”
This is a time of great necessities. This is a time for people of strong character who are ambitious to use their experience in their country’s time of need. As we have seen with TEA Parties and a general grassroots conservative resurgence, men and women are answering the call of our time.

(Alexandria, VA) – Liz Cheney, Kate Obenshain and others will be
headlining a September 13th event in Fairfax, Virginia to officially launch
the Virginia Liberty Project (VLP), a citizen-based organization focused on
preserving the heritage of the U.S. Constitution. The VLP seeks to impact
the way people think about government, focusing on the founding principles
of the Constitution.
“The goal of the Virginia Liberty Project is to return government to the
founding principles of the U.S. Constitution which have shaped our
Republic,” said Britt Courtney, Chairman of the Virginia Liberty project.
“Our nation was founded on a set of principles inherent to the
Constitution, and these principles have helped lead America to greatness.
The Virginia Liberty Project recognizes the importance of the Constitution
and looks to educate and help protect the fundamental principles of this
document. It is a celebration of the Constitution as well as an effort to
increase appreciation and respect for the values it brings forth,” added
Courtney.
The event will be held on Sunday, September 13th from 6pm – 9pm at the
Waterford at Fair Oaks, 12025 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway, Fairfax, VA
22033. The event is free of charge and people will have an opportunity to
learn more about the VLP as well as hear from Liz Cheney, daughter of former
Vice President Dick Cheney, as she speaks on the importance of the U.S.
Constitution 222 years after its implementation into American government.
The focus of VLP is to reduce government spending and return the government
to a limited role, rebuild a strong national defense, restore personal
responsibility, re-establish free markets, and help America regain its moral
compass. Sponsors of the kickoff event include The Gloucester Institute,
American Civil Rights Union, Americans for Tax Reform, Hillsdale College,
The Leadership Institute, The Heritage Foundation, National Right to Work,
Freedom Works, Virginia Society for Human Life and the Gun Owners of
America.
