The following unsolicited testimonial previously was written by Dorothy F. Keys:
"Have you ever noticed that, when the subject of politicians comes up, people immediately voice negative thoughts?
It may be that many seek political office for all the wrong reasons--power, prestige, personal agendas, etc.
And, when the less-than-sincere politician is exposed, we are quick to voice our unfavorable opinion.
Conversely, how often do we voice our enthusiasm or praise hard-working civil servants?
Is it any wonder when many are asked to consider running for political office, the response is "absolutely not!"?
The harsh criticism, scrutiny, unfair attacks, and unrealistic expectations that are virtually unavoidable in the current political landscape would cause many of us to turn away from contributing in this way.
My question today is, How do we promote and encourage good people, those with ethics and a sincere desire to preserve our rights, to run for office?
We only can do this by supporting those who do serve with our best interest in mind and by voicing the positive.
For that purpose, I write today to strongly encourage voters to support Delegate Larry D. Kump of the 59th District in the Eastern Panhandle.
Having known Larry for 25 years, I can personally attest to his integrity, personal accountability, work ethic, love of liberty, and sincere desire to preserve the fundamental rights afforded to us by our Constitution.
Larry is not your run-of-the mill politician.
He understands his role and takes seriously his responsibility in being the voice of the citizens he represents at the State House.
Larry listens to his constituents and is not afraid to take on the establishment.
He will not pander for votes and is not self-serving.
He is genuinely interested in preserving our freedoms, fighting for our rights, and giving his all regardless of what personal criticism he may face from the opposition, even within his own political party.
How I wish we had more politicians like Larry!
And maybe that is possible IF we show our support for Larry, vote for him, acknowledge the excellent job he has done in representing West Virginians, and thereby encourage others with this same selflessness to run for office.
A vote for Larry is a vote for what is best for West Virginians!
Let's all do our part!"
