Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell send a note today to Virginia bloggers.  Excerpts:

Dear Virginia Bloggers … This past year we have endeavored to make this a “blog-friendly” statewide office. To achieve this we have strived to have at least one event per month for the blogging community. We have done this through live blogs, podcasts, blog meetings, and blog conference calls. In addition, our press office has made it a goal to keep all Virginia bloggers who wish to be on our email list up-to-date and informed of what the office is doing.  Through your blogs you reach a large number of Virginians, and it is our goal to let as many Virginians as possible know about the positive work being done in the Office of The Attorney General. For that reason this relationship is in many ways a symbiotic one, and one that I hope will only improve in the years ahead.  More than ever before, Virginians today get their news from a variety of sources. Increasingly there is no distinction made between a report on the radio and a post on a blog. I welcome this change, for I have long believed that a republican form of government can only be successful with an informed citizenry. You inform your fellow citizens, and in the 21st century the proper and active dissemination of information has never been more imperative…

Good to see bloggers getting some love these days
