'Yes, Virginia, There Is a Charlottesville GOP'

On Saturday, June 2, the Charlottesville Republican Committee hosted a picnic for area GOP activists and voters at Pen Park.

About 100 people attended, some from the City of Charlottesville and some from Albemarle County.  Guests from outside the city included County Supervisor Ken Boyd, Delegate Rob Bell, and Albemarle County Electoral Board member Clara Belle Wheeler.

There were also three prominent speakers:  U.S. Senate candidate E.W. Jackson from Chesapeake; Charlottesville native Susan Allen, there on behalf of her husband, former Governor George Allen; and Fifth District Congressman Robert Hurt.

The speeches were captured on video, in five parts.
