An OPEN LETTER to … West Virginia Lawmakers …

-

Legislators:

We believe it’s imperative you remember one VERY important fact as you ready yourself for this upcoming regular session, a 60-day timeframe during which you will consider what’s best and what’s useless for the citizenry of West Virginia.

What’s the one fact? Simple.

You represent West Virginians – All. Of. Us. – and not the people who are sending you all of the out-of-state emails about crazed social and economic agendas that have ZERO to do with the issues in our 55 counties.

If you’ve performed the duties in your district, then you’re quite aware of the issues your constituents care about most here in the Northern Panhandle … so, stick with those topics and don’t get caught up with the foolish games others play.

Instead, the economy, the economy, the economy.

Go do the job we need you to do, and thank you for serving.

(Psst … it’s an election year.)

Sincerely,

Montani Semper Liberi
