Special Announcement: Saturday March 8 2025 Leadership Update

Written By:
S. Marshall Wilson, 2024 Candidate for Governor
.
.

My friends. the Constitution Party of West Virginia has established itself as a state-recognized party with the legal authority to place candidates directly onto the General Election ballot, and we are organizing for political revolution in West Virginia.

Chairman Amy Stull led the state party with wisdom and grace through the frenetic 2024 election season to accomplish the meticulous task of earning state recognition and ballot access. It would have been impossible to achieve this goal, given the intense (and occasionally annoying) personality of our 2024 candidate for WV Governor. All future success achieved by The Constitution Party in West Virginia will be founded upon the work of 2024.

Having accomplished her mission, Chairman Stull has lain down the burden of leadership for the next phase of the operation. I am unable to adequately express my personal gratitude for her focus, engagement, counsel, and friendship. She has taught me a great deal, and I have become a better Man due to her influence.

On Saturday, March 8, 2025, the Constitution Party of West Virginia (CPWV) elected Tricia Jackson as interim Chairman for the duration of Amy Stull’s term.

This election speaks volumes about the intent of the CPWV membership for future elections and other political operations. Tricia Jackson was a Republican County Commissioner in Jefferson County who was removed from office and arrested on a complaint orchestrated by members of the Jefferson County Republican Executive Committee which included the Commission President and other elected Republicans because she refused to participate in various unethical behaviors by members of the Commission.

We, the Constitution Party, are fully engaged and dedicated to establishing Constitutional governance in West Virginia regardless of the effort or sacrifice required. We don’t mind doing things the hard way. We are willing to sacrifice. We know that the two “major parties” will continue to throw impediments at us.

This is who we are. We were organized by tough-minded West Virginians over twenty years ago in association with the Constitution Party National Committee who have stood resolute on the principles upon which this nation was founded. In 2024, we drew upon all that we had learned to bulldoze our way through all impediments including three petty challenges by the campaign of the Republican candidate for WV Governor – the then-sitting Attorney General of West Virginia – intended to prevent the Constitution Party’s right to place our candidate for Governor on the 2014 General Election ballot. We earned more than double the required number of votes in the General Election to earn the right to place candidates for all positions on future WV ballots. Now, we have elected as WV Party Chairman, a woman who has been arrested for her stand against government corruption and we are organizing to go on the offensive against political corruption and for Constitutional governance in West Virginia.

The Democrats and Republicans have each squandered the opportunities offered them and abdicated the authorities delegated to them to root out corruption and to establish valid Constitutional governance in West Virginia.

We are recruiting serious-minded Patriots who have tired of the games, theater, and arrogance of our elected employees to serve the good people of West Virginia both as County Executive Committee members and as potential candidates for public service.

Don’t allow lack of experience in Party leadership or as a candidate for election to hinder you from joining up; in fact, such innocence is a benefit. We are looking for honest, humble, thoughtful citizens rather than self-promoters, performance artists, or slick political operators.

If you want nothing less than you want to be elected to public service and you want nothing more than you want to ensure that your children have the opportunity to raise their children in a free, just, prosperous, and secure land, holler at us. Let’s make it happen.

Shoot State Chaiman Tricia Jackson a private message indicating your willingness to engage.

Stand Fast, my Friends.
I’ll meet you on the High Ground

Setting the Record Straight: The Constitution Party of West Virginia DOES NOT Oppose Job Cuts at Fiscal Services

Parkersburg, WV — The Constitution Party of West Virginia is issuing this statement to refute the false and misleading headline recently published by WTAP News, reading, “Constitution Party of WV Opposes Fiscal Service Job Cuts.” Contrary to this headline and the editing of the original interview, our party does support job cuts within our government that will create a smaller and more efficient use of our tax dollars and eliminating any and all jobs that are not necessary for the proper function of the government. The interview was to simply highlight how these cuts will affect our neighbors and a concern for our fellow man in our current economy.

Our platform has always been centered on upholding constitutional principles, defending individual liberties, and promoting responsible governance. We stand firmly against unnecessary government overreach and bureaucratic inefficiencies, but we also do not see those Federal employees affected by these job cuts as the enemy.

The Constitution Party of West Virginia remains committed to transparency, accountability, and truth in media. We urge WTAP News to correct the record and ensure accurate reporting in the future. In the meantime, we encourage the public to seek direct statements from our party to avoid misinformation.

For further inquiries or clarification, please contact us at chairman@cpwva.org.

About the Constitution Party of West Virginia

CONSTITUTION PARTY CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

ATTENTION: We need 8000 voter signatures for ballot access in 2024! Click here to help

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.

Our Position Statement on 2022 Constitutional Amendments

What do you think our official position on these constitutional Amendments? Let us know

.

The Constitution Party of West Virginia supports Amendment 1
….
West Virginia Amendment 1,
….Clarification of the Judiciary’s Role in Impeachment Proceedings Amendment
Clarifying that courts have no authority or jurisdiction to intercede or intervene in or interfere with impeachment proceedings of the House of Delegates or the Senate; and specifying that a judgment rendered by the Senate following an impeachment trial is not reviewable by any court of this state.


The constitution gives the sole power of impeachment to the House of Delegates and the sole power to try impeachments to the Senate. The amendment would simply clarify that “no court of this state” has any role at all, either in impeachment proceedings or in review of the outcome.

The court acted improperly in 2018 when the Supreme Court of Appeals prevented the Senate from conducting an impeachment trial of Supreme Court Justices when temporary (substitute) justices ruled that the impeachment proceedings violated the state constitution’s separation of powers clause. This is a ludicrous claim since the constitution allows that, “Any officer of the state may be impeached for maladministration, corruption, incompetency, gross immorality, neglect of duty, or any high crime or misdemeanor.” And, only the legislature may impeach.


This clarification is necessary to prevent any future errors of this kind.


The Constitution Party of West Virginia opposes Amendment 2
….West Virginia Amendment 2
….Property Tax Modernization Amendment To amend the State Constitution by providing the Legislature with authority to exempt tangible machinery and equipment personal property directly used in business activity and tangible inventory, personal property directly used in business activity, and personal property tax on motor vehicles from ad valorem property taxation by general law.


….First: Don’t be fooled. Although formally named the “Authorize Tax Exemptions for Vehicles and Personal Property Used for Business Amendment,” it does not authorize a single exemption; it only authorizes the Legislature to consider the matter sometime in the future.

….Second: Even though West Virginia has had Billion Dollar surpluses in recent years, there is actually no plan or incentive to reduce the tax burden on regular citizens.

As Governor Justice has said, the only reason the vehicle tax is included in Amendment 2 is to “get your vote.” What the Legislature wants is the constitutional ability to eliminate taxes on property, equipment and inventory used in business and manufacturing. They view this tax as a hindrance to business which discourages new business from locating in the state and they currently use an exemption of this tax as an incentive for new businesses to start up or move here.

….Third: Property tax is a county tax, administered by the counties. IF the Legislature were inclined to reduce our tax burden, it could easily – and without changing the constitution – have reduced the state income tax. The House has voted three times to reduce the state income tax but the Senate opposed it every time. Why are senators so unwilling to work within their own sphere of authority, attempting instead to commandeer the authority of counties and supplant the officials that are closer to the people?

.

The Constitution Party of West Virginia (strongly) opposes Amendment 3
….West Virginia Amendment 3
….Incorporation of Churches or Religious Denominations Amendment To Authorize the incorporation of ….churches or religious denominations.

The current/original wording of West Virginia Constitution, Article 6, Section 47:
“No charter of incorporation shall be granted to any church or religious denomination. 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.”

….Question 1: Why does the Legislature want this amendment passed? Perhaps it is to bring the constitution in line with W Va Code. Yes, that’s the opposite of proper law-making. But. . . . When HB 2899 (The West Virginia Nonprofit Corporation Act) was passed in 2002, it contained this line: “(b) No charters or certificates of incorporation may be granted or issued to any church or religious denomination.” Yet, somehow, that line is omitted from Code (Chapter 31E), and “religious” is inserted as a lawful purpose. Ask our law-makers how this happened! Every single church incorporation in this state is illegal because it is unconstitutional.

….Question 2: What about separation of church and state?
The founders of our constitutional republic and of our state clearly believed that churches must be free of government control. Corporations, however, are creations of government and must operate under its prescribed laws.
The West Virginia Nonprofit Corporation Act (2002, HB 2899) is a gargantuan law that, I’m fairly certain, covers every aspect of running a church that was left out of the Bible.

It is a fundamental truth that if our laws are in accordance with God’s laws then that can bringblessings and the other can bring cursings.

….Question 3: Is incorporation necessary to become a 501 C(3) with the IRS?
Why would a church even want 501 C(3) status? 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” under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which maintains that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ….”

.
The Constitution Party of West Virginia supports Amendment 4
….West Virginia Amendment 4
….Education Accountability Amendment. The purpose of this amendment is to
clarify that the rules and policies promulgated by the State Board of Education, are subject to legislative review, approval, amendment, or rejection.


The Legislature has “rule-making review” of every department except education which calls itself; a “fourth branch of government.”

We would rather have education decisions made by someone more accountable to parents and voters yet we’re not sure that “politicians” will do a better job than the education establishment. Ideally, we would like a “third option” that would restore the voters’ ability to elect the Superintendent of Free Schools. That might happen next year, but this year we must settle for constraining the Board of Education through Legislative oversight. One thing for certain is that the current education system is not providing the rigorous academics and the incentives for achievement that parents are asking for.
