Don’t forget to vote…twice!

Don’t forget we want you to vote TWICE!  Yes, you read that right; we want you to vote twice.

First, vote for the issues you care about on the Our Children, Our Future Policy Platform Ballot; the deadline is tomorrow!  The ballot has 34 policy proposals and is split into 3 pillars – Great Education & Jobs, Healthy Communities, and Strengthening Democracy.  In each pillar, you can vote for up to 6 policy proposals.

With 34 policy proposals and only 18 votes, we know how hard it is to choose, so here are some of our recommendations:

  • 1) Fair Workplace – Legislation that repeals Right to Work, restores Prevailing Wage, enforces paid leave, and ensures equal pay for equal work
  • 13) Cannabis for Medical Use – Legalizing the consumption and possession of marijuana for legitimate medical uses
  • 15) Increasing Safeguards to our Water Supply – Efforts to improve water quality and restore public ownership of water resources
  • 23) Encouraging Work in West Virginia – Encouraging Work and EITC: Create a state-level Earned Income Tax Credit would lift families out of poverty and incentivize work
  • 28) Low Income Weatherization – Examining the feasibility and possible funding for a weatherization program for low-income families
  • 33) West Virginia Votes – Reform to the WV elections system which would include: automatic registration, vote by mail, and repeal of the recently-passed Voter ID law
  • 34) WV Anti-Corruption Act – Improving our election system by promoting transparency in campaign contributions, stronger ethics laws, and non-partisan redistricting
