CHARLESTON, W.Va. —
Miners from West Virginia, Virginia and other states are joining 30 members of Congress in Washington, D.C., to rally against regulatory polices they say are killing jobs in coal country.
Count on Coal's Rally for American Energy Jobs is Tuesday outside the U.S. Capitol.
National Mining Association President Hal Quinn says the administration needs to hear from workers who produce the coal that creates 40 percent of the nation's electricity.

At least they have 0bamacare! </Sarc>
I’m with them, too, but my sympathy is tempered by the fact these people should have known better than believe Obama’s lie that he supports “clean coal.” Did they really not know that in Obama’s world something known as “clean coal” doesn’t exist?
I’ll be interested to see if turncoat Trumka shows up.
A little f.....n late, doncha think, miners??
But, they were happy to take a strike day off for Obama in 2008. Did they just think he was KIDDING about killing coal as an energy source in America?
They probably all vote Democrat
Coal keeps the lights on!
Really want to get their attention, bring your hardhats, picks and shovels.
And the miner’s “Union Man” told them, I am sure, to vote for OBAMA:

Elections have consequences!!
“Clean coal” is what they left calls the low sulfur, sub-bituminous coal that is mined, mostly on federally leased, Indian lands, in the west. What Obama meant when he said that he supported “clean coal” is that he supported exporting it to China, via Warren Buffet’s RR and WILU coal terminals, built by Goldman Sachs.
Why did they elect another RAT Senator? Joe Manchin is another stealth commie.
I forgot to mention that the exporting of sub-bituminous coal to China was the deal made by Richard Trumpka as the former head of the United Mine Workers.
“We are with you coal miners! “
Just how brain dead to you have to be to live in such a beautiful state, albeit a state with a weak economy kept afloat with coal, and yet they elect people who are against coal? Without coal, W. VA is going to need to “Fundamentally Change”. Where have we heard those words before?
Bump.
You load 16 tons and what get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.

St. Peter dontcha call me cause I can’t go.
Sad truth is many of these people voted for him, even after it was known that he was going to kill coal mining.
