Short excerpt from CHAPTER NINETEEN
Reforming West Virginia Politics
Due to West Virginia’s laundry list of political problems, I have outlined numerous avenues to reform the State’s politics and include at the end of this chapter a contract for reform to be used by individual voters. The contract represents a written agreement and commitment by a candidate to a voter to support specific reforms to clean up West Virginia politics. Voters will now have the ammunition to help them make better choices during elections by taking a photocopy of the “Contract With The Voter” and having political candidates sign it, thereby agreeing to do everything possible to achieve such reforms or to agree not to run for re-election.. . . .
The problem of wasted tax money used to put names on vans, key chains, magnets, and millions of other trinkets, letters, television and radio commercials under the guise of public service announcements and constituent education, must immediately be stopped. It is not good enough to regulate or limit this corruptive and wasteful practice, it must be ended entirely and any violations of this new law must result in a felony for misuse of State funds and violators should immediately be removed from office. . . . .
This type of dirty scummy campaigning should not be tolerated and one way to bring some accountability to a politicians deceitful actions is to place “None of the Above” as a choice on all ballots for all candidates for State political offices during all West Virginia General Elections.
