Democrats in Virginia's state legislature are vowing to boycott a ceremony in Jamestown later this month celebrating the 400th anniversary of representative government in the country if President Trump attends the event.
The leaders of the Virginia House and Senate Democratic caucuses issued a statement Friday night slamming Trump and maintaining they may not note show up amid reports that the president was expected to attend the commemorative session.
"We will not be attending any part of the commemorative session where Donald Trump is in attendance. The current President does not represent the values that we would celebrate at the 400th anniversary of the oldest democratic body in the western world," the Democrats said.
We offer just three words of advice to the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation: Send Him Back, added the statement from Virginia Senate Democratic Leader Dick Saslaw and caucus Chairwoman Mamie Locke along with House Democratic Leader Eileen Filler-Corn and caucus Chairwoman Charniele Herring.

Well I'm in twitter jail again. So I'll be pushing this 24 HOURS from now on twitter, but pushing it here now.
To show solidarity with decent Americans and as one of many forms of protest, tie a mylar ribbon or blanket around a tree trunk in your front yard. Mylar blankets are very inexpensive, just a few dollars. Available many places including on Amazon.
trump wants capitulation. When we RESIST, when we refuse to give up and give in, we are winning. He wants to force us to our knees in silence. Don't let him.
Thanks to Maru Kitteh for the idea to use silver mylar as the ribbon color --- the same mylar being used as "blankets" in Trump's tender years concentration camps.

Would u be willing to tie a ribbon on a tree in your yard to symbolize Close the Camps
Maybe a black ribbon tied around the trunk of a tree in your front yard, to symbolize the evil being done?
Can we get this going?
