Chairman Steele Addresses WV YR’s

YR’s Accept Challange

Charleston, WV – RNC Chairman Friday night spoke to nearly 250 Republicans and in his remarks he addressed the WV Young Republicans to take action.

“We are determined not to live in the past, but to look forward to a prosperous future,” said Kevin Noe, National Committeeman for the WV YR, “It’s time we stand up, with a clear voice and let our state leaders know that we are going to take charge of our state's future. Realizing that the status quo is no longer acceptable in West Virginia, the Young Republicans are prepared to bring much needed change to Mountain State government.”

The Young Republicans are prepared to lead the way into next year’s election to let the voters of WV know where their representatives stand on key issues.

“We have representatives in Charleston and Washington that are not working for the people of West Virginia, and it’s time we let them know we are not happy with them. It's time to tell them that the radical Cap and Trade laws will kill West Virginia's coal industry. It’s time we stand up and let them know that we support the sanctity of life and traditional marriage.

“It’s time that we start making our voice heard. This is our state and our nation, we need to start acting like it and get involved,” added Noe.

Shortages and Price Rises

The Moorefield Examiner ran a poll yesterday asking how the US government should stabilize gas prices. 30% responded that the answer lay in increasing supply by drilling into known reserves including public lands. 11% suggested that current market forces ought to be left alone. However 53% suggested that the oil companies be overwhelmingly taxed to seize their profits.

The price of oil and gas rises because of shortages in supply. Gas companies (and this is true for food as well) must raise prices substantially in times of short supply. Price rises actually represent the lesser evil when compared to a complete cut off of product to the market. Seizing profits won't help because these companies do not stick their money into a sock and hide it. Most of them reinvest profits into production and research, looking for new sources of energy or making production more efficient. Putting legal caps on gas or food prices will not reduce demand and we would run low on or run out of gas and perhaps some kinds of food as well. President Bush's recent veto of a bill that would put caps on food prices showed real leadership.

Does it make anyone happy to pay $4 a gallon for gas? Nope. The key for the United States whether it comes to food or fuel is to assume leadership and increase supply. We can do both since we have vast untapped reserves of oil and we pay farmers to not farm. Flooding the market with US oil and food will drop prices substantially, but it will take congressional action to make this happen. We must remember this in the coming election.

*********************************************************************

Kudos to Lisa Peana and the West Virginia Republican Club's blog for predicting the primary day massacre of incumbent Democrats. My question is this, were these Democrats all very publicly associated with Joe Manchin? I wonder how many Democratic candidates and incumbents will be eager to get their pictures with the Gov in this go-round?

Prayers for Senator Edward Kennedy and his family. No one except the most evil should have to suffer from the ravages of brain cancer. We may disagree with the Senator a lot, but we hope that God sees fit to enable him to make a full recovery.

PEANA ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY

Wayne County Republican to run on Tax Reform, Justice Reform and Sunshine Laws

Ceredo, WV – Lisa Peana has tossed her hat into the ring for a seat in the House of Delegats, District 17, Wayne County.

“We need a change in Charleston”, Peana announced, “ We need Fair Taxes for our citizens and businesses, we need severe Justice Reform to bring the courts back into balance and Sunshine Laws to allow transparency so the public knows how their government is operating.”

Peana is a Real Estate Agent for Metro Properties. As a business woman Peana has seen first hand the impact of unfair taxes, and unbalanced courts both on individuals and businesses. “We have a bloated government bureaucracy in West Virginia, and the only cure is to have comprehensive reform both in our tax code and judicial system. When the size of our government grows at a rate faster than the average household income, you have a problem.”

Peana vowed to fight for social issues as well. She said that she makes a promise to push for legislation that will protect the unborn, traditional marriage and gun ownership rights.

President of the West Virginia Republican Club, Peana is the wife of an Air Force veteran, Jamison Jeffrey. They have a son, Anthony who is in grade school.
