JAMES DAVIS FOR GOVERNOR

Rebuilding West Virginia for a Smarter, Healthier, Cleaner - more Productive West Virginia
Democrat Candidate for Governor

Giving a voice back to West Virginia and uniting the major parties.  I will not offer you excuses; I will guarantee you working solutions.   

THE PROBLEMS

***

I am a disabled veteran of the Army and the Navy, living on a disability income that equals that of about minimum wage, (Yes, I live in poverty, as does the greatest majority of people in this state that holds a minimum wage job.).  The military gave to me and paid for me a good college education and now they are also paying me for the disability they gave.  I am grateful to the military for my very existence and greatly admire the young men and women who have come after me, willing to give up their life for our rights, freedoms, and liberties, as I was willing.  These young men and women offer their life so we can live free and enjoy our rights, freedoms, and liberties.  What can we possibly offer these brave men and women that might show our gratitude for their incredible unselfish sacrifice?
        I do not affiliate myself with any political party; I am a non-partisan Democrat and that is not an oxymoron.  A leader, any leader, a good leader should never be Partisan.  More often, a partisan leader, as instructed by the candidate’s political party, ignores the other half of the citizenry.  When a partisan politician or candidate ignores or undermine the will of the people, that politician or candidate no longer represent the people and the people should no longer represent that politician or candidate.  A citizen should never cast their vote in a partisan manner, but cast their vote with great wisdom and for the candidate that will represent all peoples involved.  A leader must be elected by the popular vote of all the people and that elected person should speak and act in behalf of all the people.  A leader must always be a Mediator and a Negotiator, able to work with every citizen and every party represented; history has proven that a partisan politician cannot function to their full capacity as a partisan leader.
        The way other people look at us and what other people say about us is to the honor or disgrace of the Governor and our Governors have given us our share of disgrace and dishonor.  We have been plunged into blindness of mind and thought, death from our pollution, destruction of our land, and poverty to a third world degree because our government no longer represent us, but represent their own greed and ignorance.  Because of the squabbles, bickering, and divisions between the two major political parties, their great ideas are lost or placed by the wayside and you, the citizen, ends up getting what you already have a lot of...nothing.  Because of their nature, a Democrat cannot lead a Republican...the Republican will rebel.  A Republican cannot lead a Democrat...the Democrat will rebel, (Consider our current governments' achievements of getting West Virginia placed on the bottom of every bad list, in every category, in the United States and our Justice System labeled #1 Hell Hole; being placed fifth on the top 10 worst states to own a vehicle, number one in job mortality rate, number one in child abuse death rate, number one in chronic childhood diseases and, you will more than likely, reach the same conclusion).  Since I do not affiliate myself with either party, I will not allow their squabbling, bickering, and division making keep this state at the bottom of every bad list in America.  I will give a voice back to West Virginia and our great ideas will be heard in government; we will use our ideas to benefit the people of the state of West Virginia.  With just a little cooperation from our government, this state can rise from the bottom of every bad list to the top, or above the top, of every good list. 
        The Republicans have great ideas when it comes to business; the Democrats have great ideas when it comes to taxes and the humanities.  When the Republicans present great ideas to the people, and since the Democrats did not generate the idea, the Democrats undermine the Republican’s idea.  When the Democrats present their great ideas to the public, and since that great idea did not come from the Republicans, they do the undermining...creating a vicious never-ending cycle of never accomplishing anything of value or benefit to anyone.  They cannot help it; it's just part of their party’s mentality.
        Since the Republicans can never come to terms with the Democrats and the Democrats can never come to terms with the Republicans...their greatest achievements will most likely always be: getting this state located at the bottom of every bad list in America, further degradation of our labeled #1 Hell Hole Justice system, which is the concrete of this state, and continue overburdening our courts to where they can deliver little or no justice.  When the courts can only deliver the amount of justice you are able to pay for, it destroys peoples’ lives and livelihood.
        Because of our “Left Handed” insurance companies, we are fifth on the list of the top ten worst states to own a vehicle.  Until we restructure the insurance system, we will continue to degrade even further down on the Top Ten Worst List.  I know who has the #1 best insurance company policies in America, I will implement their great system into ours, and we will rise from the bottom of the worst list to the top of the best list.  These bottom lists positions are lists that our government seems to be very proud of and our current government and past governments believe the people who got us at the bottom of these lists deserve high honors and pay increases and reelected back into office.  Since the Governor is elected by the people through popular vote and given the power to speak and act in their behalf, the condition of this state, the condition of this government, and the way others view and speak of us is to the honor or shame of the Governor.  So far, with this administration and the administrations before it, we have experienced more than our share of shame, disgrace, and disappointment.  If the people allow this form of government to establish itself or continue unchecked, this state will plunge further to the bottom of all the bad lists and end up at the bottom of more bad lists.  Our government, as it stands today, is disgraceful and plagued with greed and thievery and the people responsible must be removed from office and held accountable and responsible for their deeds and actions while in office.  
        I have excellent Democrat and Republican ideas for this state, but if I run on the Republican ticket, the Democrats will undermine everything I try to get done, and if I run on the Democrat ticket, the Republicans will undermine everything I try to get done, (again, take a close look at our current federal and state governments).  They cannot help their bickering and division making; it is part of their political upbringing.  We have allowed this form of government to conduct business like this ever since our 7th President, Andrew Jackson, created the Democrat party and his archrival the Republican party; for over a hundred and forty-five years we have allowed these two parties divide us and cast us into a non functioning system.  Since governors in this state cannot or will not fully function as a Democrat nor Republican, I will be the Mediator/Negotiator of both parties and I will give a voice back to the parties and make their divided voices one; I will take the Republicans' good ideas and I will take the Democrats' good ideas, implement them as one great idea and present that idea to the state for the betterment of all.  With all parties working together, we all will benefit and this state will start the long painful journey to recovery.
        We need to rebuild our state and we need to start the rebuilding now, not ten years or fifty years from now, but right now.  Every citizen of this state is going to have to get involved and work hard.  We have the technology, and money when used wisely, to make ourselves better...we really do, and I will use that technology to rebuild our state, rebuild our educational system so our children can get a safe education-the best and most affordable education this country can offer, build and rebuild new jobs that will not close, be outsourced or owned by an outside source, clean up our water and clean up our air and create a Health Care plan that will be the best in the nation.  It only takes one person, or one very large dozer to move a mountain, but a group of people can change the world.  Other states look at us with desecration, disgust and place us at the bottom of all their bad lists.  We need to stop allowing greed, greedy people and greedy business destroy our state; we have to start using our intelligence to destroy the bad lists, bad labels, and bad people, and turn other peoples bad comments around to where they will seek our knowledge and guidance.  We can create the best Educational System in the country, we can create the best Health Care in the country, we can create the best Justice System in the country, we can restore our land, clean up our water and air to where it is the cleanest in the nation, and we can create the best jobs in the nation; we can rebuild our business and banking systems and we can regain our dignity.  Can you afford to allow our current government continue with business as usual?  

MY PLAN FOR THE GREAT STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA        
                  
***

        I was born and reared on the poor side of the tracks of West Virginia and nothing has changed in that impoverished land.  We do not have a banking system, the greedy politicians collapsed it and it no longer exists; we have no Health Care plan, we have a dumbed-down dangerous Educational System, we have lost most of our Rights, and we have nothing but minimum wage Jobs that pays below minimum wage and offers no benefits.  Our land is rapidly being destroyed by coal and tree removal and we do not replenish our forests; our coal can never be replenished and we treat coal as if it will last forever, our water is being polluted by coal and erosion, our air is being polluted with tons of carbon from coal and car exhaust, and our health is the worst in the nation because of the misuse of these resources.  We can use these resources wisely; we will use our resources wisely and in doing so, rise to the top.   
        Here...we are #1 in Child Abuse Deaths.  More of our children die every year by abuse and disease than anywhere else in the nation.  We lead the nation in Chronic Childhood Diseases and parents cannot afford to buy their children medications to heal the diseases...we are told there is no cure.  I know how to stop the child abuse deaths and I will do so if the people elected me as their Governor.  I will be a Governor for the people and my ideas will not rot by the wayside.    
        Here...Poverty dominates our every existence.  Greedy politicians control and dictate our Jobs, our Government, our Land and our Lives.  The politicians promise conditions will improve with their administration...their promises quickly turn to rot and fall by the wayside.  This is how it has been since we became a state 145 years ago and until we get these people out of office and keep them out of office, it will remain so.  
        Here...we do not have a Health Care Plan; our elderly and our children cannot afford to get sick, nor afford their dangerous over-prescribed chemical medications.  Our Government is constantly bickering and creating divisions amongst themselves to keep from creating a Health Care plan that the poor can afford.  They say they do not have the money nor the knowledge to make it affordable unless they raise our taxes, yet they promise 14 new Coal to Liquid Plants, at eight hundred million dollars per plant, that will take twenty-five years before the first one starts producing and about ten years after that before turning a profit for the owner, and the owner is not and will not be a West Virginian.  We do not have to raise the taxes to have the best Health Care Plan in America and we do not have to raise taxes to make it work.  
        Here...we have a dumbed-down dangerous Educational System where our children graduate with barely knowing how to spell their names and our teachers are the lowest paid in the nation.  When you send your child to school in West Virginia, you do not know what condition your child will be coning home in or if your child will be coming home, because our children are killing our children; our children are killing our teachers; our teachers are killing our children; our children are abusing our teachers; our teachers are abusing our children and the politicians place Band-Aids on the fossilized system and call it New and Improved and try to convince us that we have the best Educational System in the world.
        Here...we have mockery Minimum Wage Jobs that pay less than minimum wage and provide no benefits.  The few average paying jobs we do have lord themselves over us like plagues, stealing our property and destroying it...crating a non-livable environment; polluting our water with gallons of deadly mercury 2+ and other lethal chemicals to where it is undrinkable; polluting our air with tons of deadly carbons and other toxins where it is un-breathable; endangering and destroying our health and bringing our way of life down to that of a third-world state or nation.
         Here...our utility companies embezzle and extort from us and tell us that as long as they do it to everyone, it is legal; they charge us rates, that for the minimum wage earner is unbelievably high, (they try to convince us that we have the lowest rates in the nation) and when we pay their fee, if we can pay their fee, there is little to nothing left to feed our children or buy their medications.   The politicians and utility owners tell us we have the lowest rates in the nation; for minimum wage workers they are the highest in the nation.
        Here...our government allows big business to use our two greatest resources, coal and natural gas, as a destructive force to devastate our land, put tons of carbon into our air, put gallons of mercury 2+ into our water and degrade our health.  It does not have to be this way; we can use coal as a medicine to heal our land, clean up our air, clean up our water, and keep us healthy and even to protect ourselves.  We can filter natural gas so it is "O" polluting and use it as a source to charge electric cars (that we have had for over a hundred years) and other electrical equipment when there are no charging stations close.  These natural resources should bring us health and safety, not death and destruction.    
        Here...the politicians have eliminated, or overwritten, or amended our Rights-Freedoms-Liberties where they barely exist and tell us it is for our own good and they are protecting us and we believe them when they say, 'You have Rights'!  The politicians have degraded our Justice System with ludicrous and worthless laws to the point where it has been given the label #1 Hell Hole and there is no longer justice in the Justice System.  They have made themselves exempt from the laws they force upon us to obey without question, and they have turned our police into vigilantes where they can pick and choose upon what and whom they want to enforce the law and what laws they want to enforce and with our dumbed-down Education System, they believe there is no one with the intelligence to know or tell the difference or understand what they are doing.  We are not sheep, nor idiots, nor stupid, nor live under a communist regime; we no longer have to allow this form of government lead us down all the wrong paths.  We can return our government to a democracy that is governed by the people and for the people; we can make our vote count and our voices heard.  This November, it does not matter if you are a Democrat or Republican, place your check mark beside my name, James Davis, for Governor and we will return our government to the people and for the people.  
       

MY PROPOSAL TO YOU
This is my word to you, and it will be honored.
I will not offer you excuses; I will offer you working solutions.

         I cannot do this job by myself, no one can, you will have to don your work cloths, roll-up your sleeves and follow me to the capital and together we, the citizens of West Virginia, will take back our state, take back our land, take back our government, take back our jobs, take back our laws and rebuild it.  If you are tired of being forced to choose between "the lesser of the two evils", now you have a choice, make an effort and make a change...vote for James Davis on the ticket for Governor in November and I promise you, it will be a vote for a better life.

        Make a contribution for a smarter, healthier, cleaner, -more productive West Virginia to:
