Tim Kaine Betrayed Coal

October 2, 2012    Dear Patriot, Please see the message below from American Committment -- a paid sponsor of the Grassroots Action Alert newsletter. These sponsorships help us provide Grassroots Action Alerts at no cost to you.  Grassroots Action Alert + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Fellow Patriot -- Tim Kaine is scared of his record on coal, and for good reason. Please go to our new website Vote Coal and sign the petition to Obama and Kaine to STOP the War on Coal! And then use the share buttons on the site to help us spread the truth: Tim Kaine Betrayed Coal. Kaine recently took to the air – literally – with a TV ad of himself in a helicopter, talking about how he brought a new coal plant to St. Paul, Virginia. It's not true. The New York Times reported that in "more than a dozen interviews in St. Paul, no one was familiar with any role that Mr. Kaine had in getting the plant going." Environmental engineer Jeff Kite said: "I did the permitting, and I don't remember that." Local delegate Terry Kilgore was outraged. "I have been involved in the Dominion Clean Coal plant in Wise since its inception and it’s news to me that Tim Kaine or his administration were strong advocates in making this a reality," Kilgore said. "In fact we had to fight his boards to get it permitted. As President Obama’s 'unabashed' supporter he will be fighting for the EPA as they try to carry out cap and trade through new regulations." We will be on the air and on the ground to let the truth be known: Tim Kaine Betrayed Coal. When the American people rejected cap-and-trade energy taxes, Obama turned to bureaucrats and regulators to do it anyway -- with the support of Tim Kaine. Kaine said he wanted to look at the nation’s energy pie chart and “Shrink the coal portion.” Please go to our new website Vote Coal and sign the petition to Obama and Kaine to STOP the War on Coal! And then use the share buttons on the site to help us spread the truth: Tim Kaine Betrayed Coal. Thanks for being part of American Commitment. Yours truly, Phil Kerpen P.S. My colleague Ben Marchi has signed on to lead this effort. Ben ran the “Boucher Betrayed Coal” effort in 2010 that resulted in Rick Boucher’s defeat after 28 years in Congress.
