"What a difference a day makes! Less than 48 hours ago, Rep. Tom Perriello was standing by his good friend Congressman Rangel. But now that the public has found out just how bad Charlie's ethical lapses have been, Perriello can't get rid of that money fast enough," Mullins said.

RPV Chairman Pat Mullins calls on "Charlie's Virginia Angels" to return dirty money, announces new web video.

RPV Chairman Pat Mullins issued the following statement:

"Rep. Charlie Rangel has had ethics issues for a long time, but the allegations that came to light last year were truly extraordinary," said Mullins. "Rangel conveniently 'forgot' to tell the IRS about the money he got from renting out his Caribbean villa. That's a no-no for anyone, but it's especially bad for the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee - the body that writes our country's tax laws."

Statement of RPV Chairman Pat Mullins on Senate Democrats decision to kill "Royalties for Roads" legislation

RPV Chairman Pat Mullins issued the following statement following Wednesday's vote on Senate Bill 601, patroned by Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach:

"For the life of me, I can't understand why Democrats in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads would vote against sending additional money to transportation.” Mullins said.

"In its original form, SB 601 was something that should have made everyone happy — more money for roads that doesn't come out of taxpayers' pockets," he said. "Yet for some reason, the entire Democrat Northern Virginia delegation voted on Monday to send that money to the General Fund. It simply defies logic."

Statement of RPV Chairman Pat Mullins on the passage of three Republican health insurance freedom bills

RPV Chairman Pat Mullins issued the following statement following the Virginia Senate's bipartisan 23-17 vote in favor of Republican health insurance freedom bills.

"Monday's bipartisan vote illustrates just how far out of touch Democrats like Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5th, and Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-11th, are on the issue of health care," Mullins said. "When Republicans asked Senate Democrats to join them in standing up against federal overreach, five decided to put the rights of their constituents ahead of the wishes of Washington, D.C."
