BEALLSVILLE - Coal miners at the American Energy Corp. Century Mine
said they want President Barack Obama to stop what they term "the war
on coal" - and to stop spreading "mistruths" about them.
Miners
gathered Friday afternoon to express their opposition to Obama's energy
and environmental policies, which they believe threaten their jobs.
Miner Mitch Miracle read aloud a letter the miners mailed to Obama that
outlines some of their concerns.
"blatantly false" statements about the miners regarding their
participation in Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's August
campaign stop at the Century Mine. These ads assert that the miners
were forced to attend the event by the mine's owner, Robert Murray.
"There are numerous false statements and absolute lies concerning our
participation in this event, mostly started by a local 'shock jock'
radio host," the miners' letter to Obama states. "Why would you (Obama)
lie about the 500 working miners who have signed this letter? We, the
employees of the Century Mine would request you immediately stop these
false ads."
Murray then hosted the Romney campaign stop in Beallsville in
August, during which many miners appeared behind Romney as the former
Massachusetts governor spoke about the need to protect coal mining
jobs. In response to the assertion some have made about the miners
being forced to appear with Romney, the miners made several points on
Friday:
- No employee was forced to attend the event.
- There were no attendance records taken for hourly employees.
- There were absolutely no penalties or reprimands to those who did not attend.
- Due to security concerns for the Romney campaign, there was a list for transportation purposes.
- They were "honored" to host Romney at the mine.
Despite the miners' Friday statements, Ohio Democrats have requested afederal investigation regarding Murray's campaign contributions and
practices.

Call me what you want I am at the point I really do not care. For over 50 years I have tried to be nice with these people and have gotten kicked in the ass everytime.
No more my cheek is very sore from turning it so many times and now this old Apache is fighting back with his mouth.
I just tells it liks it is...and if the truth hurts find if you feel it is a lie....PROVE IT OR STFU...
I know that Romney whopped ass with Oblamer and Ryan made the Joker of Washington look like the animal he represents but Obitler just may win this one THEN get his ass stomped just a few days before the election....thus leaving a GREAT impression on the voters.................get my point?
WV and Ohio are sick and tired of this administration's putting different mines out of work in our areas. Several coal plants in our area have also shut down.
People knew how BO felt because of his You Tube video saying he was going to cause the coal plants to go bankrupt in '08. Knowing this would affect our states, its citizens' livelihoods and economy, enough dumb idiots voted for him. It will be interesting to see if these fools who voted for him last time will do a retake.
PUUUUUUULLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA...
Thank you for the work you do! It's hard and it's dirty and dangerous, Obama wants to put you out of work because he is an Idiot!
THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR ROMNEY, Because He will not let Coal Workers, go to the Unemployment lines.
Oil, Coal, Natural Gas, DRILL BABY DRILL THIS IS WHY AMERICA NEEDS ROMNEY
AND OBAMA NEEDS TO HIT THE ROAD AND GET OUT OF D.C FOREVER
