Dan Greear Visits Wood County

Greear promises change if elected

''It is wrong for the citizens to have to pay for (Attorney General Darrell McGraw's) re-election campaign,'' he said.

Greear was in Parkersburg Friday on a campaign swing that included the Parkersburg South-Parkersburg high schools football game.
A fundamental change Greear would make in the office is to change the philosophy to sue and get as much money as possible from business, he said. The change would be work with companies to ensure they follow the law, but if they don't, ''Then we'll do with that,'' Greear said.

Palin Update

As reported on WTAP and in the Parkersburg News and Sentinal this morning, Governor Sarah Palin will be stopping for a brief visit in Marietta on her way to the St. Clairsville Ohio rally tomorrow. At this time I have no additional information, but I do have a handful of tickets to the St. Clairsville rally. I obtained these in an effort to keep local folks from being forced to drive up to pick up tickets prior to the event.

Intimidation Attempted by Local Democrat Candidate for House of Delegates

I've been doing this for a number of years and this is a first. As I was driving home from dropping my son off at school around 8 am my cell phone rings and I receive information that a bunch of Democrats are out in front of our Wood County Republican Headquarters at 8th and Avery waving signs and protesting. I immediately head that way to see what is up.

Well sure enough there are about 10-12 union folks from the UPAT in their black and gold union garb all around our HQ on both sides of the street waving Poling for House of Delegate signs. A pickup truck with a large Dan Poling sign is parked across the street in the Levitt's Funeral home lot. I pulled my truck up in the middle of the parking lot with my McCain/Palin signs proudly on display, got out, walked around and snapped a few pictures. Unfortunately my batteries had died in my real camera so I had to use my cell phone so I apologize for the poor quality, but the protesters got the message that this type of thuggery will not go unchallenged.

I contacted the Parkersburg City police and advised them of the disturbance. Our windows were being blocked that showcase our candidate signs and the entrance to our parking lot was partially obstructed. Please call me at anytime if you should witness this or other behavior that is intended to intimidate or scare people from coming to our headquarters to work or get material.
