PRIMARY ELECTION DAY IS FINALLY HERE – WILL WE
GET WHAT WE DESERVE?
Since mid-January
2014 nine candidates have filed for a seat on the County Commission – four
Democrats for the Northern District, and three Democrats for the Southern
District – along with one Republican for the Northern District & one
Republican for the Southern District! As
far as the Editorial Staff of The Pocahontas Crier is concerned, only
two-candidates have stood head & shoulders above the rest by publishing 15
POINTS, as Steps, to restore PROGRESS & PROSPERITY once again to Pocahontas
County! They are NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN (Rep-SD) & PATTI
HEINEMANN (Dem-ND)!
Of all the candidates, these two have shown the courage & integrity,
and moral-fortitude to tell the TRUTH as they see it to change the direction of
this county for the betterment of everyone by pledging to always place…
THE GREATER COMMON GOOD BEFORE SELF
OR ANY SPECIAL INTERESTS!
Now it’s up to YOU
THE VOTER to vote for the candidates that you think you deserve and will put
you first before themselves or any special interests!
As we see it from
here, these are the best choices for a better government from the top down:
DEMOCRAT PARTY:
NATIONAL TICKET:
For U.S. Senator > NATALIE TENNANT
For U.S. House of Representatives > NICK J. RAHALL, II
For State Senator > GREGORY A. TUCKER
For Members of House of Delegates
> BILL HARMAN &
DENISE L. CAMPBELL
STATE TICKET:
For State Executive Committee > JULIA R. STEVENSON
&
ANDREA
HAYS
For State Executive Committee > ELLIS S. FRAME III
&
ISSAC
SPONAUGLE
COUNTY TICKET:

County Commission – SD > SHAY HUFFMAN
REPUBLICAN PARTY:
County Commission – SD > NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN

15 POINTS to Restore Progress & Prosperity
to Pocahontas
County!
1. FIRE ED RILEY! Demand a
full accounting! Clean-up the Pocahontas
County Solid Waste
Authority (PCSWA) by appointing ALL NEW MEMBERS that will follow the law – End
all Lawsuits & Expunge all Judgments & Liens – and Exempt all persons on fixed-incomes pursuant to State Law!
2. FIRE THE GVEDC! End the ‘Poverty
Preservation Society’ – replace the ‘Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation’
(GVEDC) with a new ‘Pocahontas County Development Authority (PCDA) comprised of
rank & file Citizens who want good clean businesses!
3. REBUILD FORT WARRICK! Turn the Public Land in Green Bank into a Tourist Park – NOT into ‘open-pits & tanks’ filled with raw-human-sewage-waste – our
environment is too valuable to waste!
4. FIRE DONALD TRUMP! Reject a Snowshoe Resort Area District
(SRAD)! The proposed Snowshoe-RAD will NOT PROTECT the existing ‘home-owners’ from the massive $1.5
BILLION-DEBT; The Best Solution is to let the State of West Virginia revoke
the Snowshoe Mountain, Inc. (SMI) charter, take over ‘Receivership’ and turn all day to day operations over to this
county to administer accordingly in a ‘Workers CO-OP’ whereby 60% of profits go to the State
Treasury & 40% remains for the employees to SHARE THE WEALTH for them-selves and
this county – we have more than enough
folks already trained in this county to operate Snowshoe & Silver Creek for
the mutual benefit of all!
Otherwise there will be no end to
what DONALD TRUMP will demand to increase profits – and his first will be to
build a four-lane right down the middle of the valley along Rt. 92 to connect
I-64 in Lewisburg with Corridor-H in Elkins – and if that happens, Pocahontas
will be RIPPED APART & destroyed forever!
5. Establish
‘Cell Phone’ service for the entire county, and obtain other
communication companies to end the monopoly of Frontier Communications!
6. Establish
renewable ‘Wind Turbine’ electricity-service for the entire county – produce new jobs & increase the tax-base to the county – ‘forever’!
7. Order
an annual Audit & Certified Budget from all government
agencies in the county – pursuant to Federal Law – it’s a requirement ignored by the current county commission!
8. Order
a listing & certified accounting for all
county-owned land – so all Citizens will know the true status thereof for proper county
wealth & development!
9. Establish
a Referendum – for providing county funds to county organizations that are not county
agencies!
10. Establish
‘Public Works’ projects where & when feasible for
the mutual benefit of all concerned – comprised of all available people –
including persons willing to assist Senior Citizens inside their homes – paying a ‘Living-Wage’
pay-scale for each profession – Projects
include: Completion of Durbin
Library; Covered Pavilion for Farmers CO-OP; relocating residents
out-of-floodplain;
rebuilding businesses who wish to
stay in Marlinton; and repair & replacement for county infra-structures –
all can be done for just the ‘Cost-of-Materials’
& the ‘Cost-of-Labor’, without having to pay any interest/usury to
any bank or financial
predatory-lender!
11. Establish
an Inventory List of all underground
Storage Tanks – for their structural integrity,
location & removal away from all streams, ponds, river banks & flood
plains!
12. Provide a legal analysis for each elected & appointed person working for the county
pursuant to their statutory duties & responsi- bilities – for all that fall under the oversight of the
County Commis- sion so that no one will ever
have an excuse not to follow the law and carry out their duties from this point
forward!
13. NO ‘FRACKING’ in this
County – EVER! Pure, Clean Water is too precious to ever risk
polluting with toxic-chemicals – especially in a county which boasts to being
the ‘Headwater’ for ‘Eight-Rivers’ – bottling pure, clean
water should become the #1 business within Pocahontas County – therefore all persons with natural spring water will be invited to
join the Pocahontas Pure Water CO-OP
to bottle & sell pure water – SHARE IN THE PROSPERITY and live happily-ever-after!
14. Full support for the Pocahontas County Humane
Society – a ‘NO KILL’ – animal shelter – that also subsidizes persons on fixed-incomes & shares the
expense for neutering or spaying of all household pets – therefore as a county agency, they deserve the full support of the
county commission!
15. NO ‘BIRTHPLACE OF RIVERS
NATIONAL MON-UMENT’ PARK NEEDED HERE! – such a ‘designation’ would eliminate almost 40% of the federally-owned
public land that we now all have access to use – unless we are willing to pay a ‘toll’ to use the campsites and drive
the Scenic Highway – and be occupied
by a new ‘federal-police-force’
wanting to see ‘our papers & permits’,
etc.!

In closing, as this
campaign for county commission comes to a close for the PRIMARY ELECTION – the Choices we make to restore a Moral & Righteous local
government is more crucial now than ever before since this is the first time in
our lifetime that we can elect TWO CANDIDATES at the same time and thereby
directly effect the direction of this county beginning in January 2015!
The fight for SOCIAL JUSTICE is never-ending – and those that fight
are always ‘Brothers-in-Arms’!
May Our Creator Bless your Choices according to what is
deserving for Righteousness Sake!
THAT’S WHY…
THIS TIME…there’s no excuse…
IT’S YOUR
CHOICE…
TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!
Just say ‘NO’ to
those who want to keep this county in Poverty & Pauperism
– and –
Just say ‘YES’ to
real Progress
& Prosperity for the future!
On Primary Day – YOU have a chance to elect two persons
that will always put YOU first! They know that:
