over to the virginia senate. in recent years the senate has been kind of the brakes for this sort of legislation in the commonwealth of virginia. senate under democratic control had been a cooling off chamber for virginia conservatives really intrusive big government proposals on social issues. republicans are in control of the state senate and virginia politics watchers say the bill has a good chance in the senate. if it as passes the house and senate, the uber conservative governor will say nothing more than that he plans to take a look at it if it reaches his desk. but wait, there's more! not only are republicans of virginia moving to pass a bill that could ban birth control, they explicitly acknowledge could ban birth control, virginia republicans have are already passed in both chambers a bill that would have the state government force virginia women into having medically unnecessary, unwanted vaginal ultrasounds. that is a physical penetration of the body, ultrasound. by state order. without your consent. t

you serve virginia, we serve you. we serve all virginians well when we run a wise and frugal government, defend individual liberties and the rule of law, and care more about enacting good policies than making a good quote. simply put, our people want results, not rhetoric. they want solutions and not sound bites. over the past two years i say that's how we have governed together. working across party lines last year we put the most new funding into transportation in a generation. i want to thank the leadership of speaker bill howell in this effort. as a result, over $4 billion in new funding was provided in our six-year highway plan to support road and rail projects across the state. this funding has supported hundreds of projects and the advertisements and award of nearly $2 billion in new funding -- of new contracts in 2011. it's also made possible public-private partnerships like the midtown/downtown tunnel in hampton roads. the coal fields expressway in southwest virginia. route 58. and the i-95 hov lanes in north

you lose the "virginia." the james is open. and here come five union ships with the "monitor," another ironclad and some wooden ships and they're steaming up the james. lee it was who sent his son, custas, to command some troops at a place called drury's bluff about seven miles downriver from richmond. there is a bluff there. it's not that high, but it's high. high enough so that the "monitor's" guns wouldn't reach, couldn't elevate to fire on the confederates and indeed some of those guns were manned by a crew from the "css virginia." so, these guys got a chance to shoot at the "monitor" again and stop it along with sunken vessels and obstructions in the river keep it on may 15th from shelling richmond from, you know, the richmond port, rockets. so, all lee has done thus far is write this legislation that became the first draft law passed in april. and then in may he saved richmond by sending some people down with guns to drury's bluff. but he's still got to confront george clinton mcclellan and 105,000 union soldiers, who as

, northwestern virginia, into maryland. passing by harper's ferry. dissatisfaction with the pace of mcclellan's movements, especially those in the east, were particularly acute in the congress where after the unfortunate situation that occurred at ball's bluff in the fall of 1861, they formed a committee, a joint committee, on the conduct of the war, and began to demand that the young napoleon come up to capitol hill and explain to him how he was going to win the war in the next spring campaign. mcclellan really resented these people in congress. then, as now, united states congress didn't include very many members who had any personal experience of maneuvering troops or even living in the field. mcclellan felt aggrieved at this. as he wrote to his wife, makes me feel heavy at heart when i satisfy the weakness and the unfitness of the poor beings who control the destiny of our country. this is not from a gallup poll. we should note that in all honesty, mcclellan didn't get along with the congress, although he did all right

the largest in the history of virginia. so i say to you, if we can't find the resolve to use 1/8 of 1% of the budget for additional transportation maintenance funding, then we are not serious about maintaining our transportation infrastructure in virginia. we will also propose some other reforms to virginia department of transportation and reduce timelines for construction and other things to make our road building projects go smoother. we will reform and promote new expansions in the port of virginia. a great asset for us that can be a global leader in international shipping, and the growing space port on the eastern shore. i think it is also time that we address head on, ladies and gentlemen, the hard realities of our woefully underfunded state retirement system. as of the june valuation, the funding status of the system was 70% for state employees and 66% for teachers. you read the j. lark report. they said the numbers will go to 63 and 61% respectively in 2013. that's unsustainable. i do not want to pass this problem on

virginia is the latest as national attention has focused on a proposed law. a furor gripped virginia's state legislature in recent days, as republicans pushed to mandate ultra-sound testing, which would be internal for many women seeking abortions. on monday, more than a thousand people-- mostly women-- held a silent protest against the bill outside the state capitol in richmond. and, the proposal quickly drew the attention of national television, including the "daily show." with criticism rising, virginia's republican governor bob mcdonnell-- mentioned as a potential vice presidential nominee-- yesterday announced he'd changed his mind. he issued a statement that read: "mandating an invasive procedure in order to give informed consent is not a proper role for the state." instead, mcdonnell said, the bill should "...explicitly state that no woman in virginia will have to undergo a trans-vaginal ultrasound involuntarily." within hours, virginia's house of delegates did just that passing a version that requires the more traditional external abdominal ultrasound
