WVFL also asks you not to vote for Margaret Workman of Bob Bastress as they both favor taxpayer funded abortions in WV.

I have always been envious of people living in the city for their easy access to any number of cafes with delicious deli sandwiches albeit a club sandwich, Italian or meatball sub, maybe even a good ole’ hot Reuben or the classic favorite – steak & cheese. It was this envy that has sparked my desire to find out if any of those sandwiches were available nearby.
