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 "

And now, the Voice of Reason:

There has been some confusion and misrepresentation of the facts, which continues today, especially in some partisan quarters.
And now, the voice of reason:
The year was 2011.
The Republicans were a minority in both the West Virginia House of Delegates and the West Virginia State Senate. The Governor was a Democrat.
West Virginia was at the bottom ranking of economic prosperity in the nation, and, even worse, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia was being short-changed and neglected by the Governor and the Legislature.
Freshman Republican Delegate Larry D. Kump saw all of this, and he decided to draw attention to this disdain toward the Eastern Panhandle.
That's why he introduced HB 2698, which was done at little or no expense to taxpayers.
If enacted into law (it wasn't), HB 2698 would have drawn further attention to the plight of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, by providing for an advisory referendum at the next regularly scheduled election for voters in the Eastern Panhandle (Berkeley, Morgan, & Jefferson counties).
If enacted into law, this advisory referendum would allow Eastern Panhandle voters to express their opinion to the Legislature on whether or not to remain in West Virginia or to ask the Legislature to allow them to become part of Virginia.
Although this proposal was not enacted into law, nor did it get a committee hearing, it did get the immediate attention of the media. Much discussion thereafter ensued about the ongoing circumstances of the Eastern Panhandle, albeit also with notable confusion about the actual provisions and intent of HB 2698.
Since then, the Eastern Panhandle has continued to grow. The Republican Party has increased its representation in the Eastern Panhandle, and the Republican Party now is the majority party in both the West Virginia House of Delegates and the West Virginia State Senate. The Governor also now is a Republican.
Further, Republicans from the Eastern Panhandle now are strongly represented among West Virginia's elected officials.
West Virginia still has many challenges, but we now are moving forward and getting better, with the Eastern Panhandle providing a great degree of this leadership.
Larry D. Kump's concern about the well-being of the Eastern Panhandle has been vindicated, and he now is moving forward to do more on behalf of the Eastern Panhandle and all Mountaineers.

A Marvelous Work & a Wonder!

The Old Testament of the King James Bible, Book of Isaiah, Chapter 29, Verse 14 ("...a marvelous work and a wonder...") aptly described the glorious day when Cheryl Lynn Hess became my wife and partner (Saturday, August 11th, 2018).

My tongue cannot begin to tell how much she has blessed me and has continued to bless me since then.

For sure and for certain, God has blessed me real good!

Local Lady Leader Likes Larry!

I have known Larry D. Kump for four years, and in those four years, I have known Larry to be truthfully honest and a conservative who cares for the citizens of West Virginia. I believe Larry will serve his district as delegate to West Virginia with the wishes of conservative voters to lead this state with good upstanding values. Larry is running for the House of Delegates in the Republican May 8 Primary Election, District #59, Morgan-Berkeley Counties.

Visit www.LarryKump.us and www.LarryKump.com for more information about Larry.

Larry served two terms as delegate from 2010 – 2014. His desire to re-enter public service comes from the voters who know him, and after lots of praying, has decided to run again. Larry has always stood up and spoken out on behalf of less intrusive government, and his stand is no different than before.

Larry doesn’t go along with what makes him popular with those who want him to just go along with it. He doesn’t stand up and look around at what the crowd is doing and then sit down. He doesn’t mimic what the crowd is doing. He stands up for We the People, the good-upstanding citizens of this state and what they want – by his actions. He stands up for what he believes in – our Constitution.

Larry is a true Constitutionalist who believes in the articles of the State and Federal Constitutions who stands and salutes our flag.

As a Christian, Larry believes in the gift of life, being endorsed by West Virginians for Life. The West Virginia Farm Bureau Political Action Committee has endorsed Larry in the West Virginia House of Delegates Republican in the Primary Election. He believes in God, family and country. He believes we should support our unborn, our military, our right to bear arms (our First and Second Amendments).

Larry wants to keep spending down in Charleston and not increase our taxes, and he does not believe in big government. Larry will ask accountability for our schools, better treatment of our teachers and state employees and safeguard our pro-life family values.

He is aware of the opioid epidemic and proposes mandatory drug abuse testing for all state legislators, and reforming ill-advised laws, making it too difficult for the repentant and redeemed to re-enter the workplace, to become self-sufficient and tax-paying members of our communities. Larry wants to improve our highways, reduce gasoline prices, have better broadband and cell phone access, and eliminate state taxes on our social security benefits pensions.

Larry believes the persistent problem of West Virginia's aging and declining population adversely affects all of us, even including our representation in the U.S. Congress. In reviewing our state government policies and tax structure, a serious study of how to reverse this decline also should be undertaken, and he has been working on some ideas to turn around this problem.

Contact Larry at (304) 274-3104 or email him at kumpster@mailstation.com. It’s like talking with your best friend.

Vote for LKWV – Larry Kump West Virginia.

Sincerely,

Betty DeHaven
Martinsburg, WV
