And the truth shall set you free!

And now, the voice of truth & reason:

Notwithstanding numerous flat-out falsehoods that have been propagated about my personal integrity and my positions on the issues, there is one recent mass campaign mailing that is especially egregious.

Simply put, having long proposed that West Virginia cease to tax social security and pensions, I have also introduced legislation, during my previous tern of office (2010-2014), to eliminate state taxation of social security benefits.

This has been clearly stated and published by me, as a candidate for election to the West Virginia House of Delegates (see www.LarryKump.us, "Kump again returns to public service" post).

My advocation of the elimination of state taxation of social security also has been published in "The Morgan Messenger" newspaper and other news media, as well as during various candidate forums.

Further, although falsely claimed otherwise by another detractor, I also have been a long time advocate and supporter for the improvements at Cacapon State Park.

May God bless you all real good!😍

So, what are you waiting for? (Plus October 26th Addendum)

First in all of West Virginia!

Early this morning, at 8:00 AM, Wednesday, October 24th, it made me both pleased and proud to be the first voter in the early voting for all of West Virginia's polling places. 🤗

The Berkeley County polling place was packed with eager voters, more so than I've ever before noticed in any previous election.

There now are early voting opportunities at the local courthouses or voter registration offices throughout West Virginia, on almost every day except Sundays..

Then, on Tuesday, November 6th, all local county precinct polling places will be open for voting, from 6:30 AM till 7:30PM. (Visit www.wvsos.com, under "Elections", for more of this about that.)

Will you take just a few minutes of your time and effort to do your citizen duty and cast your vote?

Please share this message with others, asking them to also do the same with still more others.

So, what are you waiting for?🤔

*Footnote: Berkeley County opens its early voting polls earlier in the day than any other West Virginia county. As the first voter in Berkeley County this morning, that also made me the first voter in all of West Virginia. 😮

Addendum: The total early voter participation in Berkeley County on Wednesday, October 24th, 2018 was 1748!

What about Automated Camera Traffic Fines?

  Recently, some elected and wanna-be elected local and county officials have proposed that West Virginia rescind our law prohibiting automatic speed camera traffic ticket fines.

  However, as I have repeatedly and persistently proclaimed, "Orwellian" mass surveillance is not an effective or prudent remedy for traffic problems. (George Orwell is the author of the grim "1984" novel about intrusive and abusive government). 
 Other state and local jurisdictions also have been running away from the terrible practice of automated traffic camera fines.
 Nevertheless, some of our neighboring local governments in the State of Maryland continues and even is expanding this practice, causing a few folks hereabouts to want to go and do likewise.
  Fortunately, there is little or no interest by the West Virginia State Legislature, to repeal our Mountaineer prohibition of automated traffic camera fines.
 While the United States Supreme Court has yet to make a definitive ruling about the Constitutionality of automated traffic camera fines), many jurisdictions  throughout the nation are abandoning this horrific government motorist harassment and money grab.
 (You can check out the latest information and research about automated traffic camera fines via "Google".)
 Meanwhile, let's lay this awful idea to rest, and avoid the spectacle of automated traffic camera fines being our "Welcome to West Virginia" message and greeting.

Me?

 I'm just grateful that  our West Virginia lawmakers have much more sense than some officials in Maryland,

and have wisely prohibited the use of speed cameras in the Mountaineer State, at least for now.

This Jones boy likes Larry!

"My vote will be for Larry Kump.
Larry is a long-time resident of Berkeley county with past experience in the State Legislature.
Though some might think new blood is good, good experience is also good! Larry is financially and politically conservative, but understands the value of being Independent.
His hands are not tied by party planks, nor is he beholden to strict party donors.
He is willing to, and in the past, was recognized for his innovative policies and for reaching across party lines to actually get work done!
And anyone that thinks more hard liners are what we need, all you have to do is look at the wonderful lovefest of DC to know just how productive things are there.
During last year’s Hedgesville Heritage festival, Hedgesville’s own residents asked him to run again!
Please join me in voting for Larry Kump!
-Greg Jones "
