PRESS CONFERENCE
Julian Martin, West Virginia's First Peace Corps Volunteer
Mountain Party Candidate for Congress, 2nd district
Thursday May 6
2pm
Secretary of State's Office
Small Conference Room

I, Julian Martin, will make a statement and then take questions from the audience.

I am running to challenge Mrs. Capito and the Democrats to talk about the disaster of mountain top removal and valley dumps that are destroying homes and a way of life throughout the coal fields of West Virginia.

Mrs. Capito seems to be a nice woman and I know she knows right from wrong. She has to know that mountain top removal is a horrible disaster. But in supporting Bush she helps destroy our mountains, streams, wildlife and homes.

By supporting Bush, Mrs. Capito supports:

  • MOUNTAIN TOP REMOVAL
  • TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH
  • GUTTING THE CLEAN WATER ACT.
  • WEAKENING THE CLEAN AIR ACT
  • PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY
  • GIVING MEDICARE TO INSURANCE COMPANIES
  • MORE ROADS AND LOGGING IN NATIONAL FORESTS
  • THE IRAQ WAR BASED ON LIES.
  • A MONSTROUS DEFICIT THAT OUR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN WILL STILL BE PAYING LONG AFTER WE ARE GONE.
  • OUTSOURCING JOBS TO PLACES LIKE INDIA AND SWAZILAND
  • SO CALLED "FREE TRADE" RATHER THAN FAIR TRADE

I SUPPORT

  • The Mountains against mountain top removal.
  • Protecting the Monongahela National Forest from CLEAR CUTTING, STRIP MINING and NEW ROAD BUILDING.
  • A hardwood products industry instead of destroying the hardwood forests with mountain top removal.
  • Union wages and health care for every worker
  • Fair Trade instead of the so-called Free Trade
  • Free public education through college or technical school.
  • A single payer Health Care Plan that takes the insurance industry out of the health care business.
  • Social Security and against privatization.
  • Medicare and against privatization.
  • Pro-choice Women’s rights including equal pay for equal work and protection against harassment and discrimination in the workplace and in schools.
  • Free voluntary vasectomy or tubal ligation for adults
  • Saving the Blackwater Canyon as a National Park.
  • The Clean Water Act
  • The Clean Air Act
  • Peace and getting out of Iraq.
  • Small Community Schools and AM against forced consolidations.

Hope to see you there.

Julian Martin
