Freedom 1650AM - Conservative Talk Radio in Hampton Roads

Contributors

J.R. Hoeft
Conservative to the core; liberal with his opinion! Jim has been involved in politics for over a decade and has worked on several campaigns in Hampton Roads. He has served on the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Chesapeake and the Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia. He is also the director of “Blogs United” in Virginia. E-mail Jim.

Brian Kirwin
The right wants to jeer him. The left wants to censor him. Moderates usually want both. Brian Kirwin is a political consultant and public relations strategist in Virginia Beach with a lightning-rod flair. Brian also serves on the VB Arts & Humanities Commission and frequently appears on Hampton Roads theatrical stages, if only to prove that all actors aren’t liberals. Kirwin’s columns stir up debate and hit the political scene with no punches pulled. E-mail Brian.

Shaun Kenney
Shaun Kenney is the former Communications Director for the Republican Party of Virginia, the former Vice-Chairman of the 1st District Republican Committee, and a former unit chairman in both Spotsylvania County and Fredericksburg City. Shaun lives in Thomas Jefferson’s backyard in Fluvanna County with his wife, four (soon to be five) children, and a small non-descript country store. E-mail Shaun.

Shaun also blogs at ShaunKenney.com.

D.J. Spiker
A familiar face in Hampton Roads politics, D.J. Spiker has also branched out into blogging. Frequently penning op-ed/essay style posts, D.J. believes in the sanctity of the Republican Party and its values and creed. While representing organization(s) personally, views and opinions shared on BearingDrift in no way reflect the views of any and all organizations. Legal disclaimer out of the way, D.J., originally known as Gosport Conservative, aims to bring basic common sense principles and voice to and for the Republican Party. Of course, being a member of the ‘Party of No’, doesn’t always work out.
You can find D.J.on facebook, Twitter, or contact via email at gosport.conservative@gmail.com.

Chris Obenshain
Chris Obenshain has been involved in Republican politics literally since the womb, when he attended Virginia’s famous 1978 Convention in utero. 30 years later he still can’t get politics out of his bloodstream. He currently works as a lawyer in southwest Virginia and serves as Chairman of the Roanoke Area Young Republicans chapter. As Old Zach, he helped found the blog Sic Semper Tyrannis in 2004 and has been blogging off and on ever since. He has also proudly served in the United States Army Reserve since 2002. E-mail Chris.

Jane Dudley
Jane Dudley has enjoyed conservatism and photography for over 30 years. After looking around at the mediocre state of affairs of political photography as it exists on the right, she decided to start making better images, to document Virginia Republicans and to inspire them to make more of an effort to put a fine face on their fine ideas. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia and works in new media. She is also an associate member of ASMP. E-mail Jane.

De Civitate Hominis (“concerning the city of man”)
DCH blogs from a Northern Virginia perspective and has been active at various levels of Republican politics since 1994 – as a grassroots volunteer, party leader, and professional. Besides all things political, this blogger enjoys community involvement, lively debate between friends, and reading a good book. E-mail DCH.

Ward Smythe
Ward Smythe is a pseudonymous aspiring freelance writer from Central Virginia. Until late 2007 Ward blogged at the now defunct “Ward View” and was active in Virginia and National politics.
