The Eagle Forum motto is: "God, Family and Country"
Lobbying the Virginia General Assembly and the Congress
The Virginia General Assembly convenes at our historic State Capitol in Richmond the second Wednesday in January each year, and meets for approximately two months, with a longer session in odd numbered years. It may re-assemble later for special sessions, as has been the case for the past two years.
Eagle Forum volunteers visit the legislators during the session and maintain a presence in the legislature. We have distributed homemade bread or candy to the legislative offices in recent years, accompanied by a message about issues of concern.
If you return our application form with an e-mail address, you will receive advance notice about these activities, and you are encouraged to participate.
You will also receive alerts about Committee Hearings of special concern, such as pro-life legislation and proposals that threaten tax hikes, private property rights, parental rights, education and many other concerns.
Lobbying the U.S. Congress
Virginia Eagles also lobby at the federal level. VAEF alerts will keep you informed of important issues coming before the Congress.
