As you plan your vacations ahead of time...Please consider spending your hard earned...

money in the States that work for you, not millionaires.

We will plan on visiting Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington State and Oregon and Hawaii in the next 4 years.

We live in California...

We are so proud of the States listed above.

We hope to visit other Blue States that are East of the Rockies in the future.

Blue Staters...buy local, buy Blue.

Each of the Blue States I mentioned has now found themselves with a popular, positive image around the World.
We have worked hard and maintained quality in our products.
We have moved forward with being parts of new and growing technology.

We deliver what we promise and our diverse populations help keep our surroundings
attractive and interesting.

Wear your Pride Colorado and Speak it.

I told him it's a red state we won't be going there anytime soon. But NY and Massachusetts are possibilities for vacation.

Some may say it sounds petty to not spend money in a red state...
But the whole World is watching and the Blue States have powerful
incentive to PROTECT their Brands and their Names.

But the south part of the state and the northern are two extremes. We drove down to Williamsburg and took a back road back to DC. I have never seen so many churches.

that I don't pay attention to them. I live near the Hampton Roads area and even though it's red, there are a few pockets of blue. I have a couple of friends who I call my "political gurus" who live in Williamsburg. I'm hoping to visit them soon!

We went to the Busch amusement park and took this line free boat ride on the man made river there. The biatsman was an awesome guy, and told us the history of the park lake and told us to take the alternate route. Beautiful areas but I couldn' t get over the number of churches! Someday I hope to return there to learn more history.

Tell them how important Virginia is in their region and ask what products and services
they can recommend to you and others that are uniquely Virginian.

Tell them you will return when you can and you will tell others all about your visit to Virginia.

and all those blue states. Idaho and Wyoming are beautiful; too bad they sold their souls to Big Oil and the rightwing crazies. We will be remembering and supporting sanctuary cities too.
