To my friends who are berating me for my independent stance in my bid for Congress I say this: Your spoiler argument is not only outdated, it is repulsive. Our democracy is robust because men and women have declared their independence from the very beginning of our national founding. As our founders declared their independence from colonial status, so too do I declare independence from the colonial status West Virginia is consigned to by foreign corporations - BIG COAL and its apologists such as Nick Casey and Alex Mooney. To urge me to abandon my candidacy in favor of the apologists is like those Royalists who abandoned Jefferson and Franklin and Washington. It is the cowards way to shrink and shrivel in the face of tyranny. I will never abandon my fight for freedom for the people of WV no matter how dangerous anyone thinks my independent campaign may be.
