The campaign offices of Harry Bertram are pleased to announce his qualification for the office of State Senator for the great state of West Virginia this coming November. The campaign turned in 96 qualified signatures for acceptance by the State 71 more than is required by law. Harry is the candidate of the American Freedom Party (AFP) offering West Virginians the opportunity to vote outside the box. West Virginia has suffered the “Republocrats” long enough; this candidacy will offer the electorate the opportunity to vote for something different and independent of the duopoly.
Harry strongly supports the coal mining industry and the use of coal as a fuel to generate electricity. As a longtime member of the NRA Harry as well as the party are strong supporters of the 2nd amendment – the right to bear arms. Harry opposes any carbon taxes.

I’ve never understood the anchor baby argument. I think it is probably grounded in ignorance (in the non-pejorative, literal sense) or in opportunism (like Lindsey Graham, who knows better but is willing to pretend he doesn’t.) People who are born here are citizens, but they do not have the ability to exercise their rights of sponsorship (along with many other rights) until they are adults. Here in the DC area we detain and deport entire families regularly. If a family is arrested where the child is a citizen but the parents are not, almost always the parents are deported. The question is whether the parents take the child with them (if they do the child can always return after adulthood) or whether the child stays here, either in foster care or in the care of a friend or family member who is legal.
There is no “American Patriot Act” to repeal. It is the USA PATRIOT Act and it has nothing to do with patriotism. Nobody seems to remember that it is just a clever acronym. It stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. This may seem trivial but it is important not to fall for the marketing crappola!
My bad, you’re right.
I would say the most important part of the 14th amendment is the equal protection clause.
“Repeal of the 14th, 16th, and 17th amendments to the constitution”
For those too lazy to Google, 14th is people born here are citizens (“anchor babies”), 16th is income tax, 17th is direct election of Senators.
AFP is not the best acronym since it may make people think you are referring to Americans for Prosperity.
