I have to start by saying that I’m pissed off. After reading what Nick Rahall wrote this past week in the Register Herald, about wanting to listen to what the people are saying, and to serve them, by promoting coal to liquid, is just plain ole bullshit. What part of his family is he willing to sacrifice for this stupitity. You got it, none. He sure don’t give a damn about others, and the sacrifice that they’ll have to make in order to make gas out of coal. He’s messin with people’s lives here, and he acts as though it’s a game. He has no heart. He has no soul or meaning in life. His power rests on the blood money he gets from the coal industry. He’s a loser and a piece of shit. He ignores what the people are saying, and what is good for West Virginia. He goes where the money is. He is willing to continue doing harm to people in his own district, while sucking up with the baura crates in D.C. He’s been in office now for 30 years, and it was about then, as I recall, that our communities started turning into ghost towns. Now we are impoverished to a point that it will take a major overhaul if we will ever be able to recover from what he has let happened to our land and our homes. How in the hell can he continue to get re-elected time and time again, when West Virginia leads the nation in poverty, leads the nation in health problems, and all the same time is promoting blowing up some of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. This man has a big problem. He was borned without a brain and a backbone. He says he’s serving his state, there is nothing futher from the truth. All he serves is his coal whore buddies while living well behind his desk up in D.C., and all the same time people living in the coalfields has to buy their drinking water and deal with the ridicules health care costs, and he claims he’s serving the people. He’s got that right. He’s serving the people alright, just not the people of West Virginia. Thirty years ago we had the best water you could find in the world, right here, and it didn’t cost us a dime. I remember as a child, our well water was great, not anymore. Our wells now are either contaminated or sunk. Our communities that were protected by our beautiful mountains are being dismantled by mountaintop removal mining, and now with this coal to liquid shit, he wants to blow up every mountain to get every lump of coal, so he can say that West Virginia is serving the rest of the nation, even foreign countries. I say we tell him to keep his ass in D.C. or wherever, and not to let him return to West Virginia. Isn’t that what the coal industry offers people who have lived on their land for hundreds of years here in the coalfields. We’ll help you leave the state, but you can never return. If he leaves today, it won’t be to soon for the sake of OUR state. Just get the hell out, and don’t even think about coming back. And by the way, take all your suckass friends with you when you go. By the way, he’s against The Clean Protection Act, since this would throw a monkey wrench into mountaintop removal, and would prevent the coal industry from posioning our streams.
