Roanoke Times Letter To The Editor - 4/26/10
Great letter to the editor in today's Roanoke Times regarding Rick Boucher, Morgan Griffith and the race in the 9th. Boucher is running on his 28 years in Congress. With that in mind, this sentence says it all:

Nice. And the writer's interests on facebook include "burning things"
As you may have noticed my company sells wood and coal burning heating systems. The cap and trade bill that Boucher has been pushing is a attack on everyone who uses wood or coal to heat their home. As you can imagine many citizens in the ninth district can not afford to heat with electricity, gas or oil. So yes, I do enjoy burning things. Its the only way that my customers can afford heat.
ha i liked it before! i love it now, good owrk
Yeah, I'm sure all the young people packed up their bags and left when Boucher got elected. Please, this is ridiculous. I'd like to see the data that the author of this letter used. Data collected from Cletus and Uncle Earl's nephew doesn't count.
Republicans can whine and moan as much as they want, but coal is a dirty outdated source of energy, and it's time to start working with other sources of energy. Believe it or not, there are more important things than how expensive it is to produce energy.
I'm sorry, guys. I know it's going to hurt when there's no coal cartel to put money in your pockets and no Haliburton to tuck hundies from the oil trade in your polo shirt pockets. But it's for our own good.
We've seen what your policies do. They do things tear down mountains for a cheap strip of coal deposits and drill for oil in places you have no business doing so, resulting in massive biological repercussions.
I'm yet to see one advocate of coal or oil explain these travesties. Saying "Coal keeps the lights on" isn't an acceptable response...
