WV economy IS MINING!!!! Miner's without jobs= less revenue for Walmart, Sears, Penneys, Logans, McDonald's, EVERY OTHER FREAKIN' BUSINESS= those other businesses laying off employees...Wake up people!!! Are you protesting the DOH for "destroying our landscape and air quality" when they build and repair roads? Are you protesting the new landowner clearing off a mountain to build his house or business? Do you protest God when there is an earthquake??? Are you protesting yourself for using your electricity that COAL provides, or how about when you pollute water by simply using it? There is still a plethora of mountains and forests in WV, and there will continue to be. Grow up and spend your time fighting for a REAL cause!!!!

I know the jobs are important, but enough mountaintop removal has taken place. Several months ago my wife and I were out for a Sunday drive. We drove out the road past the Mt. Olive prison. There's a strip mine out there. The scope of the destruction is astonishing - you have to see it to believe it. There has to be a better way.

I have to agree with omg on this one. WVA is overtop a tremendous amount of coal, more than most states and some see it as a blessing while others look at it as a curse but the United States needs this coal and it has to be mined with whatever method is most feasible and profitable and I believe if coal wasn't made for us to use either it wouldn't have been there or we would never have gotten the technolgy to extract it. The tribes sat on coal deposits for eons of time and didn't even know it was there and the few that did, did not care about it. Coal is important to the economy of WVA and it will be extracted. Coal is needful to the American way of life and it will be extracted. Bottom line is someone must get the lead out in the EPA and sign those 33 papers lying on their desk for the mining permits for WVA. That's where our focus needs not to be, not on the methods of extraction but why is it not being extracted. Come on Kmart, Walmart and all these other businesses in WVA. Help in this cause. This is causing you loss of revenue.

The land, the people, and the environment is the sacrifice to the coal barons for a few temporary jobs. The Governor referred to us as an extractive State, and I would like to extract him and ship him to Alaska. If I have anything to do with it he will never hold another elective office in this State. The way this man sucks up to the coal operators is a crying shame. Where did the people down here in the coal fields get lost in the shuffle?

Way to go, nemesis. I wish I could get the people of Bluefield to read, hear and understand your statement, If I have anything to with it he will never hold another elective office in this state. I cannot convince the people of Bluefield to get together as one voice and vote those commissioners and elected officials in Bluefield out of office. Their excuse is the elected officials have billions of dollars. That is a direct quote. It is on the Bluefield thread on this Charleston site. Get this governor out of office and vote someone in who has the interests of West Virginians at heart and in their mind. I am a firm believer in the American system of the vote. Have a good day.

I wish that some of you freaks would address issues like importing non-native predatory species to control native animal populations ( it just ain't natural ). Instead of spouting meaningless drivel about abating events that are necessary for the financial stability of the great state of West Virginia ! Just where the hay are you honeybuns from and what are your real intentions anyhow ??(truthfully please )

So Max - you are from California? You insulted me on another post for no reason - don't you have better things to do than drivel about our driveling about abating events? Also remember California is slow moving into the ocean and soon you'll be gone.

Incase you haven't noticed, There is an attack on West Virginians by nimrod liberals all because we did not vote for Black Hussein Osama. Liberals want to destroy us and our livelihood because we will not fall into conformity like the rest of the mindless sheep. W.V. is the last stronghold for real white people. We don't need any outside help and we don't tolerate any jewish, black, or any other influence. These stinky, hippy-liberals want to end coalmining but yet they have no alternative energy to take the place of coal. West Virginians need to flip the switch and let these mentally ill liberals sit in the dark and freeze their a$$' off and make them beg us to turn it back on. Actually, most of these loony hippies live in tents without electricity or running water so that may not work. They want to stop hardworking families from working, which is funny because the coalminers pay for the hippies & minorities welfare! Do not allow any of these obamabot nuts to assault our heritage and livelihood. Rise up and protect yourselves and your families from these animals and show up to their protests and protest them. We need to shut them down. If you do not defend West Virginia then they will succeed in exterminating us. Also, shut down white water rafting because that is just another outlet that these dirty rats use.

MeanMassa09 writes no Jewish, black or any other influence. Does that include me? I am an Israelite of the tribe of Ephraim. My ancestors came from Scotland as the result of the Jacobite uprising. Here in America they married with Scottish, Irish and Welsh people. Am I left out? My ancestors moved into WVA in 1798 when this area was still the great state of Virginia. They moved from the Shenandoah Valley. I suppose I do not qualify to influence WVA politics and governance. I know my grandson made the right choice of moving and working coal in Tazewell County, Virginia. I'll have to maneuver in WVA incognito. Have a great, wonderful WVA day.

Here's food for thought. The Liberals do not want to end coal mining, but own and control coal mining. They do not want coal mining or any other business and industry in the USA privately owned but they want it socialised meaning owned by the government. They want everything socialised, meaning owned by the government, voila, Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism at its best for them, worst for us. Keep resisting them and their agenda, West Virginians. Vote every Socialist out of office whether at the federal, state, county or local level. In case you haven't noticed the Democratic Party has become what I call the ASP, American Socialist Party. It started back in the days of Woodrow Wilson and Colonel Edward House and got on fasttrack during the regime of FDR.In case you do not know, Europe, to the Europeans does not end at the Atlantic Ocean but ends at the Pacific Coast of North America which, in European geography, includes the USA. What is happening in the USA now is a conflict between the Moslems to destroy the USA and the Europeans to incorporate the USA into the USE, the United States of Europe. So let's see who wins, the Moslems, the Europeans or us, the American people. Have a great day.

ppl in the Appalachias would eat city nimrods for breakfast and shit out the bones. Besides, they wouldn't like their short stay here. You can welcome them into your home though. Just give me the coordinates;-)

So sorry to hear that you have satans blood in your veins. Actually, I guess back then it was the palestenians that inhabited so-called Israel so you may be safe and have their blood in you. It's funny how jews were never mentioned in any ancient text recovered from there. The jews were hundreds of miles away from the palastenians land back then. But now the jews murder the pals. in cold blood, stole their land, cut their organs out of their bodies and sell them on the black market, and do many other evil things. However, if your family has been here for that long and you grew up here as well, and as long as you don't have a big shilock nose and put a sheeny curse on me then I guess that you can stay;-)

MeanMassa09 does not have the faintest idea what he is talking about. Of course when one is full to the brim with hate, there isn't room for anything else. For the info of the people out there and everywhere, Judah is the only tribe of Israel that is named Jew or Jews. There are 12 other tribes , 10 of which are called Israelites, not Jews. The kingdom of Judah in the south included 3 tribes, Judah, Benjamin and Levi. The other 10 tribes became the house of Israel. The nation of Israel today is not Israel but Judah. The present day land of Israel is bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west By the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Canada and on the south by Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico. Hmmm, I wonder if MeanMassa09 can figure out the name of this place. I won't tell him and see if he can figure it out. Sorry to take up so much space on a mining protestors site but I just wanted to set the record straight about the difference between a Jew and an Israelite. They are as different as a Welsh pony and a thoroughbred, only in size my Jewish brethren, not in importance. AntiSemites are against me as much as against you, my Jewish brethren. Now back to the regular broadcasting, Mining protestors arrested outside governors office. Have a good day.

Bunch of crazy "washed out hippies" trying to steal the limelight from the coal mines. Their skanky dirt is totally different from a coal miners dirt. It's from not having time to take a bath because you're too busy poking your nose in a business you know nothing about, because you're more than likely on welfare or retired and have no need for a job. Like that 80 something year old man that came from somewhere else. Then a bunch of young people "hippies in training", because they don't want or aren't smart enough to further their education or they find out they can get their fame by getting arrested and being on TV. That is what is wrong with this country now, people "nosing" in other peoples business and destroying peoples "livlihoods" just to make a name for themselves!
