A reminder

I am collecting links for the Campaign Websites page. If I am missing a candidate or a link, please let me know!

For the purposes of that page, I am only including campaign websites that conform with Virginia campaign law which states:

"Radio, TV and print media communications must include disclaimers displayed conspicuously. Print media includes billboards, newspaper and magazine ads, mailings, fliers, email and websites. Printed pieces consisting of more than one page need bear the disclaimer only on one page or face. VA. CODE ANN. § 24.2-955.1 (defining “print media”).

Print media: “Paid for by [name of entity].” If the advertisement supports or opposes the nomination or election of a clearly identified candidate, it must also state either, “Authorized by [name of candidate], candidate for [name of office] or “Not authorized by a candidate.” VA. CODE ANN. § 24.2-956.1. If the advertisement opposes a clearly identified candidate, the sponsor must also disclose the name of the candidate it is supporting. VA. CODE ANN. § 24.2-956.1(3). "

If you see that I have you listed as a candidate and I have listed you as having a non-conforming website (Shaun Broy, Jay Bose, Tom Reed), then ask yourself what your website is missing.

Blogs, facebook pages, official government pages (for incumbents), etal do not count for the purposes of the campaign websites page, since they don't conform to the state law definition.

I'm doing it this way to be fair, and to allow people to compare apples to apples.

If you disagree with this policy, I will be happy to hear your reasoning and will then suggest you spend a couple of bucks to purchase a .us domain and put up a campaign website. Seriously.
