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.

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!
