Read our Mission Statement. Excellence in Home Education starts here. Since 1981, God's World News has been helping children to understand and interpret the world around them. On Labor Day they descend on this quiet town for the traditional kick-off to the fall campaign season. The party chairman says a few words, as does the lieutenant governor, the attorney general, a half dozen state legislators, a sheriff, a U.S. representative, and the speaker of the state assembly.
Eyelids start to get heavy, weighed down by an overdose of bacon fat and political promises.
Suddenly, a TV spotlight switches on, and everyone snaps to attention. The hapless speaker at the podium drones on even as all eyes shift to the door at the rear of the hall. It's impossible to miss the star power of the tall, handsome man standing in the glare of the spotlight. Former Gov. George Allen is the man Virginians are counting on to remove Sen. Chuck Robb, the last remaining Democratic power in this increasingly Republican state. He's also the man the national GOP is counting on to preserve its thin majority in the U.S. Senate.
