Dear Editor, I might owe the universe an apology. Recently I participated in Comedy Night at a local NN brewery. I’m a total amateur, never did standup comedy before, was scared to do it but not overwhelmed with stage fright, had only an afternoon to prepare, and with a headful of doubts and a heartful of hopes (my hopes being possibly good at this and maybe make money doing it some day) I just said the hell with it and did it. I have a feeling now that doing comedy might be dangerous.

Dear Editor, There is a growing push in Richmond to alter Virginia’s Constitution, so politicians can redraw congressional districts for short term political advantage. That is not what redistricting is supposed to be, and Virginians should reject it.

Dear Editor: The redistricting measure on the ballot April 21 is a temporary, but necessary, step to ensuring the fairest possible national election in November.

E ditor Dear Editor, Here are four questions someone should ask John Reid and Delegate Hillary Pugh Kent when they hold their Kilmarnock town hall on April 16th: 1. Mr. Reid and Delegate Kent, is it fair for Republicans to mount a multi-state campaign to redistrict in Republican states, taking away the voting power of Democrats? Those Republican states did not put the redistricting to a vote, the way Virginia Democrats are doing. Why are you both mum?
