The West Virginia Pirate partially adopts from United States Pirate Party platform. Considering this is a state party, WVPP is focused on topics related specifically to West Virginia and counties within.
People Before Corporations
The Supreme Court and Congress have expanded the power of corporations for over a hundred years and made them more powerful than people. Whether it is the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision that allows corporations to buy elections, or Congress’ cuts in corporate tax rates while raising payroll taxes, real people end up with the short end of the stick. The Pirate Party will make sure our laws put people before corporations.
Transparency
Government affairs should be transparent and for the people. Open meetings, recording public officials, Freedom of Information Act requests (including leveling the associated costs) and more, West Virginia Pirate Party looks to keep and strengthen these rights.
Defending Your Privacy
Citizen privacy is of the utmost importance and rightfully citizens should have the ability, options and education on how governments and corporations are handling data. Citizens should have the right to expunge data from corporations.
Bigotry
As one of West Virginia Pirate Party's core values is being accepting of others, bigotry is simply frowned upon.
