MOUNTAIN PARTY ALTERNATIVE
IN WEST VIRGINIA!
While DONALD J. TRUMP & MICHAEL PENCE are trying to DRAIN THE SWAMP OF CORRUPTION in Washington, D.C., we folks here in West Virginia have a similar dilemma faced with two candidates for governor that are not very popular due to their indiscretions, forked-tongues, and special interests that have corrupted the politics in Charleston and around the state!  And as most folks are aware, the WORST OF ALL CHOICES for Governor is JIM JUSTICE, running as a Democrat who owes TENS-OF-MILLIONS of dollars to fellow West Virginians as well as the Citizens & States within the Appalachian Region!  Just as Hillary Clinton has earned the title of CROOKED-HILLARY nationwide for her corrupt practices as Senator of New York & Secretary of State internationally as well as selling her political position for money & political favors, ad nauseam, well so has Jim Justice done the same as a coal-producer & coal-operator here in West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and elsewhere throughout the Appalachian States!

When the recent flood that hit Greenbrier County and specifically White Sulphur this past summer, Jim Justice tried to present himself as a self-styled ‘hero’ by claiming to offer his Greenbrier Hotel as a refuge for victims of the flood – when the reality of the situation was that ONLY TWELVE  (12) flood victims were allowed to stay at the Greenbrier Inn before being ‘kicked-out’ on the Fourth of July!  Meanwhile Justice claimed a huge tax-deduction for allegedly helping victims of the White Sulphur Flood!  CROOKED-JIM is as bad as they come…& then some!

Meanwhile, a TRUE TO THE HEART FRIEND OF HER FELLOW CITIZENS IS CHARLOTTE PRIT, CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR ON THE MOUNTAIN PARTY TICKET!

CHARLOTTE JEAN PRITT
FOR GO VERNOR
 


HERE IS THE PLATFORM FOR WHICH SHE STANDS…

The MOUNTAIN PARTY PLATFORM

OVERVIEW:
The West Virginia Mountain Party seeks to implement policies that will ensure West Virginia prosperity for at least seven generations.  Our activities are based on the assumption that a worthwhile West Virginia future depends on sound democratic processes, economic fairness, corporate accountability and on improving our infrastructure and environmental health.

• GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY – We are working to increase public participation at every level of government and to ensure that our public representatives are fully accountable to the people who elect them. We also work to create new types of political organizations which expand participatory democracy by directly including citizens in the decision-making process.

• SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY – We strive to consciously confront in ourselves, our organizations, and society at large, barriers such as racism and class oppression, sexism and homophobia, ageism and dis-ability, all of which act to deny fair treatment and equal justice under the law.

• ECOLOGICAL WISDOM – Because we are part of, not separate from, nature, we must live within the ecological and resource limits of our communities and planet so that future generations will benefit–not suffer from–the practices of our generation. To this end, we must practice agriculture which replenishes the soil; move to an energy efficient economy; and live in ways that respect the integrity of natural systems.

• NON-VIOLENCE – Believing it is essential that we develop effective alternatives to society’s current use of violence we are working to demilitarize, and to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, without being naive about the intentions of other governments. We recognize the need for self-defense and the defense of others who are in helpless situations. Promoting non-violent methods to oppose practices and policies with which we disagree, we will guide our actions toward lasting personal, community, and global peace.

THE MOUNTAIN PARTY SEEKS:

1. Protection of our air, water and land by promoting policies which encourage environmentally sound energy, agricultural and economic development; a halt to mountaintop removal coal mining in order to preserve precious forests and water supplies; timber regulation that reduces flooding, erosion and wildfires by eliminating clear-cutting and the destruction of old growth forests; full enforcement of current environmental protection laws, including the effective prohibition of toxic waste dumping, and the phasing out of ecologically destructive energy production while promoting renewable sources; Protection of the environment from the harm caused, or potentially caused, by exemptions from environmental protection regulations, through the lawful establishment of the plenary right for county commissions and municipal boards to individually draft, pass and require enforcement of, ordinances protecting all individuals from hazards and/or nuisances either caused, or which may potentially be caused, by corporations and individuals holding state permits under such regulatory exemption schemes, either directly or indirectly; A ban on horizontal hydro-fracking to protect the health, safety and well-being of all.

2. Promotion of political justice through election law reform including: an independent, nonpartisan election commission; full public financing of elections; free media air time and access to debates by all qualified candidates; accurate and verifiable voter rolls; enhanced voter access, and same day registration; verifiable paper trail ballots; instant runoff, and other progressive voting systems.

3. Progress toward corporate accountability through enforcing laws governing corporate crime and violence; holding executives directly liable for harm resulting from their decisions; requiring corporations to pay their fair share of taxes and be responsible neighbors; and challenging corporate person-hood.

4. Promotion of economic justice through small and community-based business organizations and activities; a living wage for all West Virginia workers; and the freedom to form unions and engage in collective bargaining.

5. Promotion of appropriate educational opportunities including small, community -based public schools with enforced time limits on busing; a realignment of state budgetary priorities to ensure that all citizens attain an educational level that will allow democracy to flourish; and provision of a civic education that encourages active participation in the democratic process that goes beyond voting.

6. Promotion of healthy lifestyles in order to decrease medical expenditures for preventable disease along with enactment of universal health care including medical, dental and prescription benefits as a right; promotion of patients’ rights and strictly enforcing rules that ensure West Virginia’s environment is protective of health.

7. Promotion of true democratic principles in government through dismantlement of oppressive political machines and replacement with politics based on citizen’s direction; reversing the privatization of government; proportional representation in the state legislature; and transparency and sunshine laws for all government functions.

8. Promotion of a progressive tax code including elimination of the sales tax on clothing and food; tax relief for small businesses and elimination of corporate welfare; and fair assessments of mineral and other natural resource holdings.

9. Mandating citizen referendums on any gambling initiatives in the state.

10. Promotion of Fair Trade, not Free Trade through opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Free Trade Area of the Americas Treaty (FTAA), World Trade Organization treaties (WTO), the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and any future global trade treaties that threaten to override state and US sovereign laws with the use of secret tribunals.

*The 2016 Platform also includes the following Planks, which were ratified at this year’s convention.  However, they have not been refined by their primary movants for the purpose of smooth incorporation into the body of the Official Platform.

2016 SOCIAL JUSTICE PLANKS:

The Mountain Party endorses full equality rights for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) individuals. Full equality extends protections for LGBTQ individuals: against discrimination in the workplace, public accommodations, and housing; in adoption rights; protections from hate crimes; and for putting an end to school bullying.

ADDRESSING INCOME INEQUALITY AND LACK OF OPPORTUNITY:

In response to the rampant poverty and lack of opportunity we face in West Virginia, we seek:

A raise in, and the removal of exemptions for, the severance tax on all fossil fuels extracted, as well as on all natural gas traveling through pipelines in the state; an immediate $15 minimum wage pegged to the consumer price index; a public bank to fund public works projects, infrastructure improvements, and sustainable, cooperative industry, in order to put West Virginians back to work; a Universal Basic Income for all those unable to find a job or who face disability.

ADDRESSING EDUCATION IN WEST VIRGINIA:

Recognizing the “brain drain” and the strained, under-funded education system in West Virginia, we call for:

Full and complete funding of public education, from pre-school through post-secondary education; recognition of both university and trades-based education as integral to our state’s future; the democratization and control of our state’s schools by the teachers that work them, through empowering rank-and file members of teachers’ unions; and a limit to all classroom sizes.

2016 ECONOMIC JUSTICE PLANKS

THE MOUNTAIN PARTY OF WEST VIRGINIA condemns the repeal of Prevailing Wage regulations in West Virginia, and urges reenactment of this legislation by the 83rd or subsequent WV legislatures.

THE MOUNTAIN PARTY OF WEST VIRGINIA condemns the enactment of the 82nd WV Senate Bill 1, THE WORKPLACE FREEDOM ACT, and demands the repeal of this legislation by the 83rd or subsequent WV legislatures. We further endorse efforts to reform NLRB regulations to allow “card check’ voting in union representation elections under NLRB regulations.

THE MOUNTAIN PARTY OF WEST VIRGINIA calls for meaningful collective bargaining by public employees for wages, benefits and working conditions which affect them.

Further, THE MOUNTAIN PARTY OF WEST VIRGINIA affirms the rights of public employees in West Virginia to engage in peaceful job actions, including peaceful strikes and labor interruptions.
*******
OTHER MOUNTAIN PARTY CANDIDATES TO VOTE FOR:
  • MICHAEL SHARLEY – WV Attorney General (Morgantown)

  • ALAN BALOGH – WV House of Delegates – District 43 (Hillsboro)
ALAN BALOGH has been a long time activist for placing THE COMMON GOOD BEFORE SELF OR ANY SPECIAL INTEREST & for placing AMERICA FIRST in both national and state politics.  Alan was a candidate in 2002 & 2004 under the WEST VIRGINIA REFORM PARTY as well as serving as a member of the National Committee of the Reform Party USA representing West Virginia.  Because of his popularity, when Alan attended the 2016 State Convention of the Mountain Party, as an observer, the leadership of the Mountain Party asked Alan to join their efforts and run for public office in the House of Delegates.  By doing so, Alan now faces long-time Democrat Bill Hartman & Elkins attorney Phil Isner.

For those that know attorney Phil Isner, he requires from $3000 - $5000 or more to take on any given case.  In one such case known to The Pocahontas Crier, Isner charged over $800 to come to Marlinton the first time, then over $700 for a second hearing, and then over $600 for the third hearing – taken together @ $50 - $150 per/phone call, it does not take very long before Isner asks for another $3000 - $5000 as a ‘retainer’!   Win or loose, attorneys like Isner make a living fleecing their clients & then some!  One can only wonder how much fleecing the public will receive with Isner in the House of Delegates!

Meanwhile, ALAN BALOGH would give a person the shirt off his back were he to fine someone in need!  The difference in a person’s CODE OF HONOR may make all the difference in the world were we to have MEN & WOMEN OF CHARACTER IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE!  THEREFORE…

VOTE FOR ALAN BALOGH FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES TO REPRESENT THIS DISTRICT!
                                                                 
Nationally…AS A SAFE ALTERNATIVE…JUST…

VOTE TRUMP & PENCE and…

LET’S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Statewide…VOTE:

CHARLOTTE JEAN PRITT FOR GOVERNOR!

Locally…VOTE:

ALAN BALOGH FOR
HOUSE OF DELEGATES!

TIME TO DRAIN THE 'DAMN' SWAMP!



(#143)  20 October 2016, Vol.3, No.30 > TIME TO DRAIN THE ‘DAMN’ SWAMP!

TIME TO DRAIN THE ‘DAMN’ SWAMP!
*******
The Final Battle-Cry in this 2016 Presidential Campaign comes from DONALD J. TRUMP as he calls for TERM LIMITS upon all members of Congress in order to limit and possibly end MOST OF THE CORRUPTION in Washington, D.C.!  That Battle-Cry is simply: DRAIN THE ‘DAMN’ SWAMP…inside the Beltway, i.e., the Interstate Beltway that surrounds Washington, D. C.

Trump’s plan would limit members of both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to twelve (12) year-terms and establish a five (5) year ban for any member of Congress or government employee from leaving public service and becoming a LOBBYIST for any foreign country, the MIC (Military Industrial Complex); any-given corporation; or Wall Street, etc.  In so doing, the BILLIONS being spent corrupting our public officials would be severely restricted and easier to control – AND GREATLY REDUCE THE WASTE IN PUBLIC FUNDS AND TURN THOSE FUNDS TOWARDS REBUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF AMERICA!

Although W.V. Senator Robert C. Byrd holds the distinction of  serving as the longest person in history – the record of Senator Byrd is EXEMPLATORY compared to the miserable records of some of the sleazes that have corrupted the Halls of Congress such as the decrepit & molting John McCain (AZ) who single-handedly was responsible for the DEATH OF ALL MIAs & POWs held by the North Vietnamese following the War in Viet Nam!    

All we need do is remember that Richard Nixon & and his Khazarian—Henry Kissinger, the ‘Rasputin’ behind the scenes in the Nixon regime, had promised over $4-BILLION dollars to rebuild Viet Nam following the war – but then Nixon & Kissinger RENEGED and REFUSED TO MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE! 

Meanwhile McCain did everything in his power within Congress to BLOCK every inquiry into searching, identifying or rescuing any MIAs or POWs held in Viet Nam while all those men were kept as HOSTAGES in exchange for the promised money that never came.  The entire RAMBO movie series with actor Sylvester Stallone were based on the hypocrisy of the Bastardos in Washington trying to cover-up the missing men by denying that any promises by the Nixon-regime were ever made!  And why did McCain do such a thing to his fellow-men?  Because this is the same McCain that spent much of his time as a POW being paraded around Eastern Europe in luxury hotels as a puppet-on-a-string as the captured son of a high-ranking Admiral in the U.S. Navy!  

And this is the same McCain that graduated 895 out of 900 students in his graduation class!  And this is the same McCain that KILLED 174 SAILORS & WOUNDED HUNDREDS MORE WHEN McCAIN BLOW UP THE FRONT OF THE USS FORESTAL after backfiring his jet setting fire to the plane behind him which set off that plane’s missiles while trying to pull a ‘prank’ on one of his so-called ‘buddies’! 

NOW IS IT ANY WONDER THAT TRUMP CRITICIZED McCAIN AND MOCKED McCAIN’S ALLEGED POW-STATUS?  McCain should be hung on a public gallows for his treachery, treason, and incompetence!  But instead, McCain now 88 years old is running yet again for another six-year term as senator of Arizona!  Just looking at McCain – he literally looks like he is molting in front of your eyes just like a SNAKE pealing off its skin!

Meanwhile DONALD J. TRUMP has perhaps ‘pissed-off’ more corrupt people in Washington, D.C. than any person in history ALL AT THE SAME TIME by standing up to and opposing the most corrupt SPECIAL INTERESTS in the whole county all at the same time!  In the past several months it has become abundantly clear that 95% of the corporate-media – owned by the MIC – has written & spoken out AGAINST TRUMP to the point that it’s the most EXTREME PROPAGANDA in the history of this country!  It has been said that the election cycle of 1828 was the MOST CORRUPT in all of U.S. history resulting in the election of General Andrew Jackson who OPPOSED BOTH WALL STREET AND THE PRIVATE BANKS to the point that several assassination attempts were made upon his life.  BUT this 2016 election cycle may yet go down as the WORST PROPAGANDA against a single candidate since almost everyone in power seems to hate TRUMP – BUT THE PEOPLE!  

While Trump may be hated by the Lobbyists, warmongers & profiteers – HE IS LOVED BY THE PEOPLE AND HIS CAMPAIGN CROWDS ARE THE LARGEST IN HISTORY ALONG WITH THOSE OF GOV. GEORGE C. WALLACE OF ALABAMA IN 1972 UP TO THE POINT OF THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF WALLACE!

The incredible irony behind all of this is that Hillary Clinton represents THE WORST CASE SCENARIO that Washington politics has ever produced – as she has bribed & lied her way around & through Washington politics and has become the so-called ‘darling’ of every despicable corruption in government & in the corporate-media which is owned by the MIC as the largest stockholder over ALL OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA OUTLETS!

Thus DONALD J. TRUMP has had to face the entire network of SPECIAL INTERESTS in the history of this country – yet has succeeded by spending his own money and ignoring ALL THE SPECIAL INTERSTS so as to be beholden to none and not living by anyone else’s leave!  TRULY TRUMP HAS CREATED A MOVEMENT THAT HAS STOOD ALONE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE – culminated in his choice for vice-president with MIKE PENCE, about as honest as they can come!

Meanwhile, take another look at this website explaining the various BODY-DOUBLES being used by Hillary Clinton >




For a woman who is as phony as a $3 bill – Hillary sure has fooled a lot of folks nationwide…& then some!  Perhaps her greatest deceit is her claim to support children & women yet when it comes to ABORTION, Clinton favors ‘PARTIAL-BIRTH-ABORTION’ EVEN UP TO AND INCLUDING THE ACTUAL BIRTH OF A CHILD WHEREBY A CHILD COMING OUT OF THE WOMB CAN BE KILLED JUST BECAUSE THE CHILD IS AN INCONVENIENCE FOR THE MOTHER!   

This type of hypocrisy by Clinton or anyone else is beyond belief, especially for someone who once claimed to be an attorney-at-law in regards to our national laws governing the killing of another person!  If it is against the law to murder someone at will or otherwise, then why is it alright to murder a child being born – or even before the child is ready to be born?  If a woman can kill her child/baby at anytime prior to actual birth – even as the child is being born – how can we call ourselves ‘CIVILIZED BEINGS’?  If this, then why not CANNIBALISM as well?  Why is the killing of an unborn child any different than the killing of someone at any age?

At least DONALD J. TRUMP believes in the RIGHT TO LIFE and only sanctions ABORTION for RAPE, INCEST & THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER – these are the Biblical principles plain & simple!
 
Therefore…

AS A SAFE ALTERNATIVE…JUST…

VOTE TRUMP & PENCE and…

LET’S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

(#142)  13 October 2016, Vol.3, No.29 > REPRIMAND UPON COUNTY MAGISTRATE!

 

Welcome to Pocahontas County
 – the Rain Forest of America –
A place where Rainbows end!

The POCAHONTAS CRIER
‘When the Righteous succeed the people rejoice,
But when the bad govern, men groan!’ – Proverbs 29:2

REPRIMAND UPON COUNTY MAGISTRATE!
*******
A PUBLIC ADMONISMENT, Complaint No. 80-2016, has been issued against Pocahontas County MAGISTRATE CYNTHIA BROCE-KELLY by the West Virginia Judicial Investigation Commission for violating the CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT, specifically for violating Rule 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, and 2.5(A) and ordered that Magistrate Kelly be publicly  admonished pursuant to Rules 1.11 and 2.7(c) of the Rules of Judicial Disciplinary Procedure. 

The PUBLIC REPRIMAND stems from a complaint filed by Stephen M. McNally of Arbovale in which Magistrate Kelly failed to hold a timely initial appearance for a person under arrest, and instead Magistrate Kelly told the arresting officers to take McNally to the Tygart Valley Regional Jail (TVRJ) in Norton, West Virginia.  Magistrates rotate their shifts on a weekly basis and in this particular scenario, Magistrate Kelly began her weekly-shift at 7:00 am on 10 May 2016 and it ran until 7:00 am on 17 May 2016.  The Code of Judicial Conduct makes one thing clear at all times – and that is that the Arrested Person /  Defendant is to have his Civil Rights PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES, NOT VIOLATED – and that the Magistrate is to perform their respective duties & responsibilities towards DEFENDING THOSE RIGHTS instead of neglecting those rights for personal reasons or for considering them as an inconvenience! 

In a previous discussion regarding the failures of the current ‘Magistrate Court System’, and how far a field it has drifted from its original intent stemming back into the Middle Ages – we discussed how the taking of ‘prisoners’ to TVRJ has become a BUSINESS UNTO ITSELF as the arresting officers get paid OVERTIME PAY so that they can take the next day off and provide themselves a three or four day week by getting paid two-days-in-one at the expense of the taxpayers!
 
Another element of consideration is the fact that no matter how petty the charges against someone appear to be, especially when those charges are misdemeanor charges rather than felony charges – the arresting and jailing of a person is USED AS THE PUNISHMENT of that person since both the arresting officers and the office of the magistrate know that the misdemeanor charges will eventually be dismissed and the defendant is usually only being charged out of some vindictive, political or clandestine reason!  This current REPRIMAND may very well put these shenanigans on hold in the face of the fact that the OFFICE OF THE MAGISTRATE IN POCAHONTAS COUNTY HAS NOW BEEN WARNED TO CEASE & DESIST its current wrongful policies!  The office of the magistrate has now been officially WARNED that ‘JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED’ – and that a defendant / arrested person has a RIGHT be arraigned ON A TIMELY BASIS since that is the sworn duty & responsibility of each magistrate on call!
