I think often times Republicans are afraid of stating the facts surrounding an issue. I would simply encourage other Republicans to not be afraid of the fight.

Okay, here's my question. it is of special relevance to the 12th district, and I was born in Canonsburg, PA (not in the district but in Washington Co., though now living in TN) There have been several mining incidents in the past few years...my preferred solution is more strip mining -- it strikes me as a far safer way to mine coal, and the landscape can be repaired. My father always said that if the mines were closed when gas levels were too high, the mines wouldn't make any money. What [are your thoughts on] mine safety?
