WV Campaign Contributions: from $1,000 to $25,000?
Only 37% of West Virginians voted in the past election because we don't believe our voices can make a difference over those who are WEALTHY and/or POWERFUL. The expensive and loaded television ads are ridiculous, embarrassing and frustrating to us and should be to you as well. Especially given that there is limited transparency of Corporate Political Spending. Is it possible to embarrass ourselves even more by increasing the contribution cap from $1000 to $15,000-$25,000?
We, as hard working West Virginians, are saying "NO" to this increase!
We demand Fair Contribution Caps and FULL Disclosure of ALL Campaign Contributions and Political Spending!
Would you rather win an election by having more support of honest and hardworking West Virginians or by the Powerful that try to control your decision-making abilities?

Why is this important?
Senate Bill 541 has created a platform for Election Regulations that would allow more money into elections and take control away from WV voters. This would scare even more West Virginians away from participating in the political process. This is OUR State and we need to REMOVE the powerful influence of in-state and out-of-state Corporations and those that hide behind Non-Profit Organizations.
