Pastor Butch needs just under 15,000 signatures to qualify for ballot access. The CPWV will need the 15,118 signatures to qualify the national Constitution party’s presidential candidate TBD at he April nominating convention in Phoenix.

So far, the CPWV is about 5% towards these goals (since just getting serious with it only a few weeks ago). We have a team of more than forty persons petitioning all across the state. Public reaction is VERY positive with typically three out of four voters willing to sign our petition. We’re averaging one signature every three minutes per petitioner. It’s just a matter of time management…

... It’s also a matter of resources since so many people are interested in us in West Virginia, that we are fast running out of printed materials (state party brochures and Paugh campaign cards in particular). Please send us donations if you really want to see this happen. Butch is an awesome candidate!

Also, more sloppy reporting, the Ghent seminar was not a Constitution Party function, but rather was organized by Butch Paugh’s ministry. However, it was EXTREMELY well attended – HUNDREDS of people came to see/hear guests such as Dave Von Kliest/Joyce Reilly (of The Power Hour), Joan Veon, Katheryn Albright (Spychips), etc. In a few weeks, DVDs of this conference will be available on Butch’s ministry sight, http://www.calltodecision.com

=Are you a real Veteran, or a winney geek that still lives with his mother after 47 years?

he needs 15,118 valid sigs just to get on the ballot as a candidate, and there is no way the CP is on the ballot, since the only parties that are on the ballot in this state are the R’s, the D’s and the Mountain Party. You have to get 2% of the popular vote for governor in the last Governor’s election to be on the ballot as an official party and get a ballot line.

Thats a very sloppy reporting job from the Register Herald. It’s obvious no one actually checked the story.

I thought that Butch Paugh needed a heck of a lot more petition signatures before he could be qualified for the ballot. I haven’t heard anything aobut him getting those signatures.
