U.S. District Court Will Hear West Virginia Local Initiative Case on April 19, Friday

A U.S. District Court in Clarksburg, West Virginia, will hear Hyman v City of Salem on Friday, April 19, at 12:30 pm. This is the case that challenges the action of the city of Salem. After a local initiative to decriminalize marijuana got enough valid signatures, it was still removed from the ballot, because the city believed that if the initiative passed, it would be null and void because the city did not have the authority to decriminalize marijuana.

The lawsuit argues that it violates due process for non-judicial government employees to refuse to certify an initiative, just because they don’t think the initiative would be legally binding if it passed. The plaintiffs argue that the city must allow the initiative on the ballot, and if it passes, then a court could decide whether it is valid. The election is in June so the matter will be settled quickly.

  1. ANY WV state LAW on the subject ???

    See the USA LAW on the subject — now routinely ignored in many States.

  2. Men, we have our work cut out for us, and the L.P. party bosses themselves have erected higher and higher roadblocks ever since the Bob Barr campaign in the 2008 Presidential elections and California elections since 1995 when we brought our team to the Santa Clara County Libertarian Party after Harry Browne the Libertarian won and the phone calls were never returned ever since.

    In 2012 the national LP chair brought us Approval Voting (AppV) in single-winner districts and in 2019 the former California chair brought us ranked choice voting (RCV) in single-winner districts.

    The turn for the worse happened over the past seven years and they continue to censor and snuff us out with no accountability.

    Both of these one-party voting system will protect the party boss status quo by snuffing out all competition they might face and the one-party system allows them to win every one of the single-winner seats on the L.P.

    Both of these voting systems, AppV and RCV, bring the mechanics of the one-party system when used for single-winners.

    They each replaced plurality voting in single-winner districts which brought the mechanics of the two-party system that we see in all of USA.

    The “leaders” down-sized us from the two-party system to the one-party system.

    These men, don’t know anything about it, how they brought the one-party system, and the United Coalition USA finds this unacceptable and urgent actions are needed.

    In California two women fewer made the state L.P. and only four of fourteen board members remaining are women. The all-male slate won three seats while censoring our voices from the state L.P. Facebook page so they could degrade and belittle the unity.

    The United Coalition USA is bringing real liberty, the 539-party system in the new PPR Electoral College in 2020 and the three-party system to POTUS.

    The best we can do is keep bringing the three-party system to POTUS in 2020 despite them, and us men bring 100% females to all top positions in all state and national seats so to throw them out, to bring all women to top and men only at #2, and show the strengths of the new United Coalition USA even with President and Vice President of the USA.

  3. On April 1st 1995 when Harry Browne came in 1st and Colin Powell 2nd, the Libertarian won.

    Had we brought the team in 1996 then we could have made history with that victory instead Alan Keyes took it to Obama in the IL US Senate debate where Obama brought the “100 black men” committee.

    Google founders deleted our team when they bought Usenet and they use the political ads to influence the outcome of elections.

    Now the Go Ogle for President campaign has a plan to use our logo despite the negative connotations with that dictatorship corporation.
