As the 249th anniversary of the nation has passed and we begin a yearlong series of community celebrations of Virginia’s role in the founding of the United States of America, it needs seemingly constant refresher that in order to secure our rights we need to be a nation of laws that establish the appropriate punishments if someone transgresses your rights.
