West Virginians to Vote on Super Tuesday?
New Website offers West Virginians Chance to Be Heard
In Most Influential Day in Presidential Politics

Jim Lewis of the West Virginia Patriots for Peace. “To try to remedy this unjust state of affairs, we're launching a straw poll for West Virginians at www.votewv.net.”

Mollohan Announces Support for Candidacy of Anne Barth in 2nd District Congressional Race

Byrd. “I know she will make a wonderful Congresswoman and I am proud to support her candidacy.”

Tell the FCC and Congress You Support Net Neutrality
We got the heads up from John Laesch, Democratic candidate in the special election to replace Dennis Hastert in IL-14. The FCC has made provision for comments from the public on net neutrality, and on John's request we created a special action page that pipes your personal comments into the FCC electronic filing system, AND sends
your messages to all your members of Congress at the same time.
