ANNOUNCEMENT
The Constitution Party of West Virginia announces that it will hold its 2024 biennial convention on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at the Flatwoods Shoney’s. The meeting will last from noon until 5:00 and attendees are encouraged to dine at the restaurant.
I. One purpose of the convention is to nominate candidates for statewide and legislative offices, presidential elector candidates, and delegates to the national party convention. All nominees for public office must be registered “Constitution Party” and meet the specific requirements for the office sought. They will also agree to uphold the state and national Constitution Party platforms.
All nominees will have the opportunity to make a brief statement about their candidacy and will have the opportunity to answer questions and campaign for support.
At this time, we have three members who are seeking nominations. Marshall Wilson, a former member of the state legislature, would like your support to become governor. Jeff Becker would like to be nominated for Secretary of State. And Rick Thomson would like the nomination for House of Delegates from the 91st District.
II. In addition, elections for Board officers will take place. Nominations for officers, including self-nominations, should be sent to the Executive Committee at P O Box 321, Weston, WV 26452, two weeks prior to the convention.
All Active, Life and Founding members in good standing are eligible to vote and participate. Anyone who is registered to vote as “Constitution Party” may become an Active Member by submitting a membership application and paying annual dues.
Plan to join us on this day as we attempt to restore the Republic by nominating candidates who support Constitutional government.
Are you ready for some fun and festivities? We will be there each day, at the City Park, with our booth space and overhead canopy, handing out information and signing people up to volunteer for the upcoming 2024 elections process. Do you know we have a candidate for Governor? See more here on that > https://cpwva.org/2023/10/02/former-state-delegate-s-marshall-wilson-seeks-nomination-for-governorship-candidacy/

CONSTITUTION PARTY CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Individual liberty is possible only in a nation that is formed, as John Adams said, “of laws, not of men.” In such a nation, each citizen bears an equal responsibility before the law and possesses the right to equal protection under the law. Each individual citizen enjoys the rights to self-determination, to engage in governmental processes at all levels, and to hold public servants accountable to the laws of the nation. Any infringement upon these principles makes each person less a citizen of a nation of laws and more a subject of a nation of men – an oligarchy rather than a republic.
One citizen who chooses to stand against the devolution of the Republic into oligarchy will affect little. A community that stands against that devolution will fare little better. A People that stands together to secure the Rights of each individual can dismantle the rising oligarchy and restore the Republic. If We, the People – We Mountaineers are to remain “always free” we must stand together now. As one citizen, I stand for the principles enshrined in the West Virginia Constitution:
1. “The government of the United States is a government of enumerated powers, and all powers not delegated to it, nor inhibited to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people thereof…and it is the high and solemn duty of the several departments of government, created by this constitution, to guard and protect the people of this state from all encroachments upon the rights so reserved.” (WV Constitution Para 1-2)
2. “The powers of government reside in all the citizens of the state, and can be rightfully exercised only in accordance with their will and appointment.” (WV Constitution Para 2-2)
3. “Free government and the blessings of liberty can be preserved to any people only by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue, and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” (WV Constitution Para 3-20)
4. “A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state, and for lawful hunting and recreational use.” (WV Constitution Para 3-22)
As one citizen, I will affect nothing, but I will stand nonetheless. If you, as an individual free citizen, also stand for these principles, we stand together for a common cause. Though you and I might disagree on how best to live, be free, and pursue happiness, we agree that neither the government nor any person has the right to dictate to us how we will go about it. We can and should stand together. If we stand together, we have a chance.
Send me to Charleston to stand for our principles there.
Calling all Patriots!
By CPWVa State Treasurer Brenda Donnellan 9/06/23
I’m very excited to announce that Marshall Wilson is the CPWVa gubernatorial candidate for the 2024 election. I will post links below to Marshall’s podcast where you can watch Marshall and Phil Hudok make the announcement to the world last night.
Marshall will need about 8,000 signatures to get on the ballot and he intends to get this accomplished quickly to give him more time for campaigning and more media attention. All other candidates will be added to Marshall’s petitions. E.G. – Richard Thomson is running for State Delegate in the 91st District.
IMO, the most important thing to do now is fill the Legislature with freedom-seeking Patriots who will stand up to Legislative leadership, to the Federal government, to the WHO, and to everybody else who wants to put us in chains. If you know anybody who is willing to donate his time and energy to preserve freedom, please ask him to get involved. (Note that I’m old-school and use the generic “him.”)
In addition, we need volunteers to immediately begin collecting signatures on petitions. The petitions can be downloaded on Marshall’s webpage, or contact me and I’ll print them for you. (https://marshall4wv.com/)
Last of all, we need money. We are getting a booth at the Forest Festival in Elkins where we expect to garner a lot of signatures. We are looking at other state festivals. But we will need money to pay for all this and are asking for your help. If you can donate cash that would be appreciated. If you’d like to buy some merch (we have T-shirts and cups for sale), that is another great way to help.
Visit our webpage or contact me. https://cpwva.org/ treasurer@cpwva.org
Remember – We are in this to win it! Thank you for your help.

Op Ed By Brenda Donnellan on June 9, 2023
Do we expect our public servants to obey the Constitution? Can we REQUIRE our elected employees to follow the Constitution?
The answers ought to be that “Nobody is above the law” and “Yes, we must require them to obey the law” and, remember, the Constitution was written to limit the power and authority of the federal government.
But, over the centuries, Americans became apathetic and forgot to keep an eye on their government. You might say they were intentionally lulled to sleep by very sly, conniving, power-hungry people with ulterior motives who would exploit that apathy.
Then, in March 2021, an almost iconoclastic event occurred. An attempt to force congress to obey the Constitution and to protect America! The Brunson brothers of Utah filed a lawsuit against 385 members of Congress, former Vice President Pence, President Biden and Vice President Harris. The brothers’ claim is that, amidst the allegations of election fraud in the 2020 election, including possible foreign interference and the breaking of many state and federal laws, 100 members of congress proposed an investigation into those allegations, but a majority of members wrongfully voted against the investigation.
The Brunson brothers (Loy, Raland, Deron and Gaynor) realized that – whether or not election fraud had occurred – congress had a duty to investigate the allegations of threats to our country and our Constitution. In refusing to investigate, these members of congress broke their oath of office, and the lawsuit seeks to punish them by permanently removing them from office and not allowing them to hold public office again.
The Brunson lawsuit: https://ralandbrunson.com/ Background of the case, the 3 lawsuits, and individual timelines of Loy’s suit and Raland’s two suits. https://loybrunson.com/ Latest updates from Loy, including a sample letter for you to send to SCOTUS.
Jenna Ellis, formerly a lawyer in Trump’s White House and now a radio personality, claims that “we the people” have no right to scrutinize every vote and ask the courts for their opinion. (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-attorney-sides-with-supreme-court-knockingdown-case-to-reinstate-him/ar-AA168qeI)
She is perpetuating the laissez-faire attitude that allows unscrupulous people to get themselves elected and then write the rules for how they do their jobs as though they are the owners of America instead of servants of the American people.
Jenna claims that the proposed investigation is not a “justiciable” issue, not appropriate to adjudication by the judiciary. That is a curious statement since it is accepted since Marbury vs. Madison in 1803 that the Supreme Court has the right of Constitutional oversight of the other two branches. (https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/marbury-v-madison)
Jenna completely ignores that little phrase in Article VI of the Constitution that is the crux of the lawsuits. “The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; . . . .” If elected servants are not bound by this qualification then the entire Constitution is worthless. It might be iconoclastic at this point in time to stand up to federal tyranny, but we must begin to ENFORCE THIS STANDARD, THIS OATH, for EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE.
She dismisses the vote on the investigation as a “political question” with a flimsy discussion of “authority.” It is not a question of law regarding investigations, as Jenna suggests. The question is, when 100 members of congress were concerned about a possible threat to the nation, did they look into it? Did they obey their oath? Did they protect the Constitution and the country and the people of the United States from threats, both foreign and domestic?
In addition, Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution provides that, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion[.]” Did the three branches of the United States government do their job during the 2020 election to guarantee a republican form of government and to protect us against invasion?
Jenna is correct in saying that, if we don’t like their votes, we should send our representatives packing. But this particular vote/issue is a threat to our sovereignty, to our country’s continued existence, to the foundation of the United States of America. If those who are trusted with concocting laws to regulate our lives and tax our livelihoods will not protect us from enemies who threaten our free elections; if they do not even care to investigate the possibility that breaches occurred – then they must be held accountable.
So what if this fundamental precept of our Constitution hasn’t been enforced in the preceding 230 years! Now that we recognize our failures; now that we see clearly that our country is being systematically dismantled; now that we are learning about “enemies, foreign and domestic”; the time has come for radical action.
Does Jenna believe that the only role “we the people” have in our government is to vote every two years and otherwise support the candidates of our choice? And, what alternative do we have if voters of one state send good representatives to Washington but other states consistently send men who appear to hate the Constitution? Is there no recourse for “we the people” of the first state?
I think that a lot of people are afraid to upset the apple-cart. Others might worry that “we the people” will read the Constitution some more and realize that the federal government is exceeding by magnitudes the limits set by the Constitution; that the federal government has assumed many more powers than the few enumerated ones granted to it by the states. “We the people” might realize that we have been lied to about the “supremacy clause.” Article VI does not say that the federal government is supreme. The states would never have agreed to that! It declares that the Constitution itself and laws made in support of IT will take precedence over any laws (federal or state) that might conflict with it. And, at the same time, any law that is not authorized by the Constitution is, according to the Founding Fathers, null and void.
The courts haven’t been very helpful in our efforts to demand election integrity and to expose corruption, and that likely will continue. But, I agree with the Brunsons – who have given them several chances. Let’s give them another chance. They might get it right this time!

Stay Tuned …… More Updates Coming, & will be Posted Soon!
Some (including the ACLU and the West Virginia Legislature) argue that we must amend the West Virginia Constitution because current law treats religious organizations differently than non-religious entities by denying their First Amendment right to incorporate. Actually, that is the point of the First Amendment – “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” NO law! Churches and religious organizations CANNOT be put under the laws of incorporation; they CANNOT be treated as a creation of the government as corporations are.
IRS Pub 1828 says; “Churches that meet the requirements of IRC Section 501(c)(3) [which simply means they are churches] are automatically considered tax exempt and are not required to apply for and obtain recognition of tax-exempt status from the IRS.”
An incorporated church might become “tax exempt” (subject to the whims of the government and the bureaucrats running it!) but an unincorporated church is “non-taxable.”
Also from Pub 1828, “Congress has enacted special tax laws that apply to churches, religious organizations and ministers in recognition of their unique status in American society and of their rights guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Churches and religious organizations are generally exempt from income tax and receive other favorable treatment under the tax law;”
The West Virginia Constitution includes “Provisions may be made by general laws for securing the title to church property, and for the sale and transfer thereof, so that it shall be held, used, or transferred for the purposes of such church, or religious denomination,” and that is why West Virginia has special laws for churches, including also exempting church property from taxation: “(5) Property used exclusively for divine worship; (6) Parsonages and the household goods and furniture pertaining thereto; (7) Mortgages, bonds and other evidence of indebtedness in the hands of bona fide owners and holders hereafter issued and sold by churches and religious societies for the purposes of securing money to be used in the erection of church buildings used exclusively for divine worship or for the purpose of paying indebtedness thereon;” as well as cemeteries and benevolent property such as schools, orphanages, hospitals.
The prohibition on incorporating is REAL separation of church and state, as intended by the First Amendment. The founders of our constitutional republic and of our state clearly believed that churches must be free of government control.
However, some people disagree with this foundational principle and want to eliminate the freedom and independence of the church that our Constitution and laws are based on.
The West Virginia Nonprofit Corporation Act (2002 HB 2899, WV Code Chapter 31E) is a gargantuan law that, I’m fairly certain, covers every aspect of running a church that was left out of the Bible. The authorizing bill was 140 pages; so it’s pretty likely that (contrary to what the Legislature claims) the state WILL tell churches how to run their organizations.
Furthermore . . . Do you realize that West Virginia is the lone holdout on keeping churches free of government? Just imagine what the IRS can do, what restrictions it can impose, what chains it can use to bind Christ’s church, when that pesky holdout is eliminated? If ALL churches are incorporated, then Pub 1828 can be re-written without the current reminders that churches are special and separate and naturally free of government control. Yes, a lot of laws can be re-written. . . .
Every single church will then fall under the section of Pub 1828, titled, Political Campaign Activity. “Under the Internal Revenue Code, all IRC Section 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches and religious organizations, are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.” etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
It might even take away the church’s right to “Issue Advocacy.” Yes, that IS still allowed.
Do the churches even care if they are under the government thumb? Maybe not! It’s a convenient “out” to say “I’m not allowed to participate in political activism.” The main concern is not to offend anyone. The donations might stop flowing in.
The problem with religious organizations is that they’re made up of fallible humans. And, just like the evil elitists that we oppose, these humans can succumb to greed. The churches want their donations and the donors want to deduct it from their income tax.
Tax-exempt donations are a natural right that is still allowed, but the IRS has made encroachments.
It has enacted recordkeeping rules, substantiation rules, and – the biggest one – requiring charitable deductions to be lumped with all other deductions on the Long Form and the total amount to exceed the Standard Deduction. All this effectively means that most people no longer bother with it.
Where will it stop? It WON’T stop unless we stop it! Who will stand up for Christ’s church?
