Calls slam Obama in coal country (Wake up America or we will all be bankrupt)
washington Times ^ | 11/3/2008 | Christina Bellantoni and Joseph Curl

Posted on 11/03/2008 3:38:09 AM PST by tobyhill

The two presidential candidates stomped into the other party's territory Sunday, with Sen. Barack Obama making a run for "red" Ohio, while Sen. John McCain battled to put "blue" Pennsylvania in his column with the aid of automated calls using Mr. Obama's own words to accuse him of planning to bankrupt the coal industry.

Getty Images 'WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO': Sen. Barack Obama warns a crowd outside the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus not to become complacent in the last few days before Election Day.

The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, targeted voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other coal-producing states with "robocalls" saying that "coal jobs, which are so important to our community, are in jeopardy. ... Listen to Barack Obama's plans to bankrupt the coal industry."

The call then plays an excerpt from a January interview that Mr. Obama gave the San Francisco Chronicle in which he defends his proposal for a cap-and-trade system to limit emissions of carbon dioxide by requiring power plants and others to buy the right to emit the harmful gas.

"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted," he said.

The best response (in support of McCain) that I got while knocking on thousands of doors the past few months was this:

Keep CHRISTMAS our national holiday: VOTE McCAIN

***I could see people thinking and rethinking, and I am certain I got some Obama supporters to consider McCain....

Simple but effective.

I suggest everyone who reads this make 200 copies on a blank sheet of paper, and hand them out TODAY to all their neighbors, especially those supporting Obama.

We have got to wake these Democrat up to the fact Obama wants to make the US come under the direction of the UN, which means Ramidan could rule.

If we can get “the coal message out” it could make the difference! Obama has some nerve claiming he will use excessive taxation to run the coal companies out of business!! Hi Cindy, thanks for all your hard work,looks like the indys are breaking for us it will be close but we will win.

Hopefully we can get this message out before the Rats counter with the McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act which will essentially do the same thing.

I understand Rodguy911 and you’re welcome.

Can You also pick up the coal AND corn syrup link, too?
It will make a good package having BO and Biden discussing coal.

I’m heading for bed pretty soon.

Absolutely the left through piglosi, Reed and the rest of the marxists have cut off every avenue we have to energy security. It's no coincidence that all they want is their favorite energy,solar wind,etc. which of course can't get the job done and they know it!

It's all to advance govt. control/socialism/Marxism with their party at the helm.

They must be stopped.

This election will validate or invalidate the belief that voters make up their minds in the last 3 days.
