Patriots For Peace and Citizens Action Group
Launch a Presidential Straw Poll
On Sunday, January 27, 2008, at 3:00 pm, Patriots For Peace and Citizens Action Group held a press conference announcing the launch of a website for a straw poll for the presidential race.
The web-based straw poll we are launching (VoteWV.net) will give West Virginia voters a chance to express their choice for a presidential nominee prior to February 5th, when the primary races may be effectively over. In the process we are hoping to underscore the importance of the Iraq War, and its disastrous effects on the economy, as issues in this election.
By launching the website at the voter registration office, we want to stress the importance of West Virginians casting a real ballot on Election Day and participating in the political process at all levels. The Voter Registration office will be closed on Sunday, but we intend our brief gathering there to call attention the fact that many West Virginians feel closed out of the primary process because West Virginia is one of the last five states to hold their primary election.
