  1. If the ad was shot in a real non-profit hospital it should loose its tax exempt status. This is no difference than the hospital endorsing a candidate. Which is against the law.

    I would like to know where the ad was filmed?

  2. As long as the non-profit hospital is not in the business of renting itself out for photographing and/or filming for money, I think it’s okay. Also you can’t distinguish exactly what hospital it is from this shoot. It’s a generic hospital, which is okay.

  3. eileen,
    how do you know it is a generic hospital? are you saying that it is a prop hospital, if so I don’t think that is a problem. If it is a real non-profit hospital, then I agree with VFF.

  4. You’re free to agree with VFF, rlewis, but that doesn’t mean you’re correct according to the letter or the precedent of the law. Lots of candidates on both sides of the aisle have had ads (or parts of ads) filmed at their churches (without showing the name of the church), and it has never been construed by anyone as an endorsement by said church of any particular candidate. It’s happened in Norfolk, in Hampton and in Virginia Beach.

    Are you telling me that you would like to board up parishioners’ places of worship in Hampton Roads? Or do you only favor saber-rattling over an organization’s tax-exempt status when you’re certain that the organization provides a public service you’ll never use to lower-income families who lack healthcare?

  6. Great Ad! … I watched it 4 times … the location does not show …no problem … no endorsement … but let me do that now …

    Ralph Northam deserves the support of every voter in the 6th Senate District going to the polls next Tuesday seeking elect someone who will represent them in Richmond.

  7. I believe the “nonexistent” issue on the hospital was simply brought up to continue what has now become a Republican cultural standard. Intimidate anyone who doesn’t agree with you in an attempt to get them to shut up.;

    If they can harass a nonprofit hospital and that will prevent a Democratic candidate from getting any footage of himself in his work environment even if the “hospital” is not named nor endorsing the candidate….and if they harass the hospital it will make every hospital (and many others) sit things out.

    This new Republican party doesn’t play fair they play dirty. They want to everyone who doesn’t agree with them 100% to simply shut up (b/c they can’t engage in honest, rational dialogues)….It’s facism is what it is….buzz…buzz…..

  8. You guys are so predictable. People in the 6th District don’t care about the attacks that the Dems are throwing at Rerras, with regards to the mental illness. They care if Rerras has represented them fairly during his term, which he has, especially on the ES. Much to your dismay Northam and Rerras agree on a lot of the same issues that are important to 6th district. Rerras truly cares about the district he represents, he is everywhere, even if it is not an election year, he goes above and beyond to talk and meet with his district.
    By no means is Northam a lock to win this!

  9. how about the sheriff in norfolk, endorseing a candidate? You going to take him away? Give it a break.
    Did you know that Northam is a doctor? Do you care?
    Yes you do, that is why you are complaining.
    Did you know he served in the first gulf war?
    Yes you do, that is why you are compaining.
