A Republican delegate in the General Assembly is giving up his seat representing an area near Roanoke, VA, potentially jeopardizing the GOP’s delicate 51-49 advantage in the House of Delegates. (Ed note: That slim advantage was so close it was ultimately decided by a coin toss in January.) Del. Greg Habeeb, R-Salem, a seven-year veteran of the House, notified party leadership on Friday that he will step down as of Aug. 31, in the middle of his two-year term. Another Republican, Del. Riley Ingram, R-Hopewell, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch this month that he might not run for re-election after completing his term next year. Ingram has been in the House for 23 years.

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth's laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs""as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
