(Clearwisdom.net) According to a Washington Post report on Sunday, February 9, 2003, written
by Michael D. Shear, even as they race to complete action on thousands of Virginia-related bills in
this year's 46-day session, lawmakers in the commonwealth are keeping their fingers on the pulse of
the nation and the world. Below are excerpts from that article.
"This is about Virginia residents who are being persecuted," Del. Viola O. Baskerville
(D-Richmond) said, as she pushed for sending a resolution to China calling for an end to the
persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual movement. "We need to send a signal . . . that we
support their fight."
The resolution passed 15 to 2 in committee and 88 to 6 on the House floor. Like the others, it now
sits in a Senate committee, awaiting action and -- if passed there -- a signature from Gov. Mark R.
Warner (D).
