10. I don't know if you've ever seen Cecil Roberts president of the UMWA

speak, but he fires up a crowd! He warmed the crowd up for Al Gore here in Charleston Wv in 2000 and the man was on fire. I'd love to see the democrats showcase this man more often.

14. I absolutely stand with the UMW!

I'm really impressed by these miners. There are so few stands against government corruption that actually get covered by the press, and this is exactly the right action at the right time. :patriot:
