Clark S. Barnes, Senator
15th Senatorial District
A Progressive Republican
Judicial Reform - The election of Judges without regard to Political Party
affiliation thereby improving the quality of judicial decisions!
Education Reform - Moving more money to the classroom where it really counts!
Rational Reform - Revamping West Virginia's tax system which is preventing the
growth of business and industry!
Economic Reform - Development of a business environment that will ensure that
our children and grandchildren can remain and find good jobs in our home state!
Clark S. Barnes - "Let's continue the process of positive change."
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered
by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer
much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Teddy Roosevelt, April 10, 1899
Clark S. Barnes - "An inept political system that has guided West Virginia through
years of disastrous results in business development, education, and job creation is
certainly not prepared to move our State into an era of unprecedented opportunity."
"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is
piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we
must think anew, and act anew." Abraham Lincoln, December 1, 1862
The State Seal of West Virginia proudly declares that
"Mountaineers are always free." In reality we have
often enslaved ourselves to government programs and
large out of state corporations which promised
solutions but delivered continued misery and
dependence. It's time to swiftly grab the freedom that
awaits by directing our own destiny!
Not since June 20, 1863 have West Virginians been faced with the opportunity for
radical change in their political system! Just as in 1863, when our Founding Fathers
chose to leave an unresponsive and unrepresentative government, we today have
the opportunity to forge ahead into the mainstream of a competitive economic
environment!
A New Day is Dawning
in West Virginia
