Which Virginia tartan do you like the best?

We need to have an official State tartan. Perhaps Senator Jim Webb could champion the cause.

He might at that. He is very proud of his Ulster Scots heritage (aka Scots-Irish).

A good idea, but remember that in order for a tartan to be officially recognised, you would need to enlist the support of a state legislator, since it would be the Virginia legislature, and not the US Congress, that would recognise a tartan as the "state" tartan.

Todd

Honestly I don't like it I'm sad to say.

Aye, Todd! As I was sitting on I-95 this morning this occured to me. Now who would be a good state senator to approach?
