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/
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.
