Del. Bob Marshall is urging Gov. Tim Kaine to petition the federal Environmental Protection Agency for a temporary biofuels waiver in order to cut rising food prices for Virginians, reduce pollution of the Chesapeake Bay, save state budget funds, and help Virginia’s farm and watermen families.

Marshall (R., Manassas), in a letter e-mailed to the governor today (April  9), said “the inflationary federal biofuels mandate,” which requires that 9 billion gallons of ethanol and other biofuels be substituted this year for other types of fuel in Virginia, “has created a food-versus-fuel conflict in our economy.”

State Delegate Bob Marshall wants to be Virginia's next senator and he pleaded his case to James Madison University students Monday night.

Marshall is currently running against Jim Gilmore for the Republican nomination. They are running for the seat being vacated by retiring Senator John Warner.

Marshall spoke to the College Republicans of JMU about how he is different than Gilmore and he answered questions from the group.

For some time, James Gilmore?s campaign has been claiming that Bob Marshall, his opponent for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, is a single-issue candidate.

However, for those of us who have known Bob and have observed him over the years (and I?ve done both for nearly two decades, even before he ran for public office), nothing could be farther from the truth.

Gun Owners of America’s Political Victory Fund (GOA-PVF), the political arm of the “no compromise” Springfield, Va., advocacy organization for the Constitution’s Second Amendment, is backing Del. Bob Marshall (R., Manassas) for the 2008 Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate.

Tim Macy, GOA-PVF’s board vice chairman, in a March 11 e-mail alert to the lobbying organization’s members, said Marshall “has demonstrated a willingness to put his colleagues on the spot when they are putting politics over people’s safety.” Marshall “will be a hard-charger for gun rights if elected to the U.S. Senate,” Macy said.

Del. Bob Marshall (R., Manassas) has been endorsed for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate by U.S. Border Control, a Virginia-based organization founded in 1988 and dedicated to ending illegal immigration by securing America's borders and reforming immigration policies.

“As chairman of U.S. Border Control,” Edward I. Nelson, of McLean [usbc.org], wrote to Marshall on March 29, “I am proud to give you our organization's endorsement.

“I found some time to review your website, not just the immigration portion, but your views across the board.  As important as border and immigration policies are to me, I could not, in good conscience, endorse a person who was right on immigration but wrong on the other serious issues our nation faces.

Conventional wisdom suggests former Gov. Jim Gilmore (R), who attacked the party's more moderate elements by saying “Rudy McRomney is not a conservative, and he knows he’s not a conservative,” should not have to worry about his own right flank while running for U.S. Senate.

But try telling that to western Prince William County Delegate Bob Marshall (R).

The nine-term delegate is running as the more conservative alternative to the former state attorney general and governor in the Republican primary for Senate. Marshall is focusing on three issues core to the party’s base: abortion, taxes and illegal immigration.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- You're pulling out of the office parking lot as usual when a car careens into your fender. Airbags deploy. A crowd gathers. And as the driver's side bag slowly deflates, you wonder, Did this have to happen? You wonder because there's no way you or drivers of oncoming cars can see each other, because vehicles parked at city meters along the street obstruct the view, and because the city's bureaucracy has grossly delayed a stunningly simple, cost-free safety solution.

Republicans across Virginia are rallying with surprising vigor behind the U.S. Senate campaign of state Del. Robert G. Marshall, a quirky Prince William County conservative who is challenging former governor James S. Gilmore III for the GOP nomination to replace retiring Sen. John W. Warner (R).
