EDITORS NOTE: This semester WTVR.com has partnered with VCUs School of Mass Communications iPadJournos mobile and social media journalism project. Students from the project reported the following story.

RICHMOND, Va. As a third-party candidate with a lack of funds and public attention, Robert Sarvis is going above and beyond to bring awareness to his campaign for governor of Virginia. The Libertarian Party candidate said he put 12,000 miles on his van, just driving around the state to talk to voters.

On Friday, Sarvis made his stop in Richmonds Shockoe Slip. On the corner of 12th and East Cary streets, Sarvis tirelessly tried to remind voters that they have another option in the gubernatorial race besides Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe.

Sarvis supporters are also planning a sign waving prior to Saturdays NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway in hopes to attract more attention to the campaign. In Shockoe Slip, Sarvis directly talked to voters and handed out small fliers promoting his platform on issues such as marriage equality and protecting gun rights.

Im here to both meet a lot of voters and to spread my message through media contacts, Sarvis said. Im here to meet as many voters as I can.

Sarvis said that awareness was the biggest challenge he has faced so far in this election. He added that his campaign sells itself once people know about his interest in having an open-minded and open-business Virginia.

Previously, Sarvis was a Republican candidate for the Virginia State Senate in 2011. He left the Republican Party following his loss, citing differences in ideology in regards to personal liberty.

I think the Republican Party cannot be trusted on economic issues like keeping taxes and spending low, but also on personal issues they are very regressive and they are trying to force a regressive ideology on all of us, Sarvis said. Im the only person who is focusing on letting you live your life as you see fit and you running your business as you see fit.

He also thinks he is different from Democrat Terry McAuliffe, claiming that McAuliffe is the poster child of crony-capitalism and the idea that the government should be choosing winners or losers.

Health Care "Navigators" To Push New Mandate In Texoma

Posted on by

HUGO, OK -- Under a new law, every person in the United States will soon be required to have health care coverage.

One method they plan to do that is now underway. Part of this will be accomplished online, but millions are being spent to help enroll people in health plans face to face. We spoke to two agencies now gearing up for a year-long push that starts in just a few weeks.

Several "navigators" are being hired and trained to help Texoma's uninsured sign up for health care.

"Whether you are for Obamacare or not, it's here and it will affect a lot of people," says Little Dixie Community Action Agency executive director Brenda Needham.

The government awarded $67 million, some going to Fort Worth's local United Way and Hugo-based little Dixie.

Splitting their grants up with agencies like Community Council of Greater Dallas, Big Five, and INCA, they plan to have about 140 navigators total covering most of the two states.

"They all receive 20 hours online training and have to be certified by CMS - the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services," says Needham.

"The navigators' responsibility are going to be to educate, inform, and ultimately enroll people who are eligible to be enrolled under the Affordable Care Act," says United Way of Tarrant County president/CEO Tim McKinney.

According to numbers the government provided to Little Dixie, there are more than 600,000 uninsured people under age 65 in all of Oklahoma and nearly five million in Texas. But soon, all that is supposed to change.

"They will have to pay for the insurance, but there are subsidies available. The open enrollment period is October 1 through March 31," says Needham.
