I was invited to attend a meeting with our area Republicans. Mainly, Senators, Magistrates, Department of Education Directors that are running for elections. Very interesting individuals. A couple of my close friends showed up, Eric Householder and Elliott Simon. Both looked great. Although Elliott Simon and I are opposing each other in the Republican race for District #67, we both highly respect each other. Elliott has promised to back me after I win the May 8th Primary. I look forward to his input. (much confidence in my campaign)
The meeting depended heavily on fund raising and donations to our campaigns. As most you already know, I am strictly opposed in running a campaign like other Candidates and fund raising. This is just to prove my opposition and theory that asking people in your district for money is not required to win this election.
My belief if very simple. People in society today are having a hard enough time making ends meet without having a Politician ask for their hard earned money. Look at this way, if Candidates are dedicated in asking for donations from the public, maybe the donation would come in easier if our taxs were lowered! If our people were not so over burdened with taxs, they might be more open minded to supporting a Candidates campaign.The only donation I need from my people is their trust, respect and honor within my position of Independent Republican.
Instead of supporting my campaign economically, support my campaign by voicing your ideas and desires by contacting your Incumbent and/or Candidate of our State issues.

House Bill 3159 is designed to require West Virginia Residents to make a Physicians appointment for a simple allergy problem resulting in West Virginia Residents to pay for the crimes of Convicted Criminals and their actions. House Bill 3159 should be designed to enforce Convicted Criminals of drug crimes to require a prescription for this medication not the Residents of West Virginia who suffer from the usual allergy. This bill releases most of the responsibility of Law Enforcement and places the headache on you and I. House Bill 3159 should be designed to increase steeper penalties on those individuals who commit the crime. House Bill 3159 is designed to take more money out of your pocket by requiring a prescription for simple over the counter mediation, "Sudafed", over a simple allergy problems which should not require a Physician's Prescription, because of a few drug abusers using Sudafed to manufacturer meth. All Pharmacies presently require a West Virginia photos ID to purchase Sudafed.Candidate Harris opposes this misdirected legislation and has encouraged concerned citizens to contact all legislators and also voice their opposition.

Sudafed Up!As most of us might already know, we are again looking at another avenue of someone trying to take more control over our lives and more money out of our pockets without our permission. "Sudafed Up", has come to my attention as many on the house floor in Charleston are trying to pass a bill to enforce stores and drug store to take Sudafed off the shelves in the Pharmacy section because of the abuse of a few.
Here is my arguement;
There are many of us who depend on this medication to cure and/or assist with eliminating our sinus problems. I have no problem showing my identification to purchase this medication in order to help reduce the amount of drug abusers using an ingredient in the medication to produce illegal drugs. Its quite obvious this medication was not created for the use of illegal drugs, however, where there is a will, there is a way. Charleston is trying to create a bill to take Sudafed out of our lives unless we see a Doctor and request a prescription. A $14 over-the-counter medication should not end up costing us $200 or more to see a doctor. The Government already agreed to move the medication from public access to requesting the medication by way of identification. Why do we need to move forward with having the Government taking on more control over our lives?
Here is my thoughts to a solution;
Hmmm, lets enforce our Law Enforcement to do their jobs. Yes, we should always support and defend our Law Enforcement as we do our American Soldiers. We expect our American Soldier to properly defend our freedom, we should expect our Law Enforcement to do the same with enforcing the law concerning drug abusers. Increase stiffer penalties on the abusers. Incarceration of drug abuser might not always be the answer, however, enforce economics out of their pockets to help create a humane and proper solution to the problem without punishing the taxpayers for the actions of drug abusers! Taxpayers should not be paying for the actions of drug abusers. We did not commit the crime. I for one have sinus issues. I depend on this medication to help me through the season and the bi-annual hay fever problem. Take as much Government out of an already problematic issues and create solutions to our problems instead of having taxpayers paying for the crimes economically.
Overall;
Please contact your Delegate and Senator and voice your opposition to this bill. Better yet, put it in writing for the record of proof. You may also contact your Candidates who are running for State Office. You might not always know how to get your voice heard. Incumbents and Candidates do know how. Contact Secretary of States Office and find out who your Delegate, Senator and Candidates are.
