Family Values Vote Descriptions
House of Delegates Votes

Attached is the WVFF PAC Endorsed Candidate List.

We worked hard to get our candidates elected. Our efforts included Family Values Questionnaires, Voter Guides which were mailed to churches across the state and hand distributed, and letters to editors.

WVFF PAC is the internal PAC for the West Virginia Family Foundation, Inc. (WVFF), a statewide pro-family organization. The WVFF is working to strengthen the family by fighting the permissive abortion-on-demand attitude which undermines respect for life; and by opposing the promotion and expansion of gambling that is undermining the work ethic of West Virginian citizens.

Among issues addressed by the West Virginia Family Foundation were partial-birth abortions, using state tax dollars to finance abortions, a variety of issues dealing with the expansion of gambling, easing excessive restrictions regarding home-schooling, a requirement to notify parents allowing timely parental notification so children may opt out of instruction on offensive sexual behavior, blocking pornography from schools in public schools and libraries, allowing greater restrictions on sexually oriented businesses, special treatment for homosexuals.

Other questions covered casino and riverboat gambling, expansion of video lottery and slot machines.

The group also addressed issues regarding voter’s rights including initiative and referendum, recall of elected officials, automatic roll-call votes in the House, allowing 10 delegates to force bills out of committees, and mandatory instruction of our nation’s historic documents that played a key role in the founding of our nation.

The WVFF supports allowing parents to have the best choice of education and schools for their children; and increasing citizen involvement and accountability of our political process. The group is working to stop the proliferation of pornography and sexual oriented businesses in our neighborhoods and communities and supports the traditional marriage and family. The group strives to achieve this goal through public education and legislation, as well as by supporting those candidates who best reflect these values.

The rating from the candidate Questionnaire responses and Voting Records can be found at www.wvfamily.org and www.conservatives.org.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
