MORE lies from Mo Jo...keep goin' buddy!! Bring on Russ!!

Manchin will have an about face soon on the abortion issue as he does everything else. He tells everyone what they want to hear at the time. Here is another one of those times. This is copied from Republican Gazette website.

I wish everyone would do some research and see all the lies this guy tells in a week.


In Fairmont, Manchin takes credit; in Jefferson Cty, says it wasn't his decision



Wednesday, June 18, Fairmont Times:

Gov. Joe Manchin said Tuesday he’s going to free up state highway construction dollars to finish the new Gateway Connector highway by 2010. The governor’s action to transfer state funds from other highway projects that have run into delays breaks a funding logjam... “Our goal is to award the last two contracts this year and hopefully get the road finished in 2010,” said Lara Ramsburg, the governor’s communications director.



Friday, June 20, The (Martinsburg) Journal:

It’s a use-it-or-lose-it situation, Ramsburg said. The $21 million must be allocated for a project before Oct. 1. She said the recommendation for the reallocation came from the Department of Transportation and didn’t originate with the governor’s office.

Another reason (for me) to like Russ

.Weeks makes firm promises on pro-life issues

Russ Weeks told West Virginians for Life that he will be an active and aggressive governor on pro-life issues, promising that if elected:

1) By executive order or, if needed, legislation, I will provide no more tax dollars to fund abortions.

2) I will include at least one piece of pro-life legislation every year.

3) I will bring pressure to bear to put pro-life legislation on the agenda

Weeks challenges Manchin to add pro-life measure to special session

(June 13, 2008)Republican gubernatorial candidate Russ Weeks today challenged Gov. Joe Manchin to include legislation to further limit taxpayer funding of abortions to the agenda for the anticipated upcoming special session of the State Legislature.

Such a measure has been sought annually by West Virginians for Life.

Weeks noted that the state of West Virginia spent almost $350,000 of taxpayer money to pay for abortions in 2006.

"The federal government requires that we pay for abortions for rape, incest and life of the mother, yet West Virginians are forced to pay for abortions for any reason, even as a method of birth control," said Weeks. "West Virginia is one of only 18 states that uses tax dollars to pay for abortions on demand."

Since 1993, the state of West Virginia has spent $5 million to pay for more than 12,000 abortions, said Weeks.

"As governor, I will end taxpayer funding of abortion on demand either by executive order or, if necessary, legislative action," said Weeks. "I challenge the governor, who claims to be pro-life, to demonstrate some kind of commitment to the issue through the office he holds."
