- "The Constitution guarantees protections to property, and we must make that promise good. But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation. The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of man's making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it. The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have themselves called into being."
Theodore Roosevelt
Impeach Earl Ray Tomblin
Impeach Earl Ray TOMBLIN!
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has endangered the health and lives of the citizens of the Great State of West Virginia for far too long. During the sixteen years he presided over the WV senate, the population in southern West Virginia dropped mostly due to the lack of employment and the poisoned water.
Ever since Joe Manchin appointed Tomblin to be governor he's endangered the health, safety, and welfare of every citizen in the state. On the hollow promise of jobs, Tomblin has been permitting out of state corporations to poison entire communities throughout the entire state.
Now, statewide unemployment is rising and our roads and bridges are falling apart despite reports that WV has been experiencing a boom in both coal and gas exports.
My signature is an open act of protest against a political system that is ruining the Great State of West Virginia one community at a time because leaders of both "mainstream" Parties have been bought off by the extractive industry corporate coalitions.
I sign this petition with the full understanding that there is NO WAY the mercenaries in the WV statehouse will ever impeach Earl Ray Tomblin. My signature is in support of the one political party that was formed to protect communities by promoting only leaders that will shun corporate dominance over WV's government.
