John Carter actually said...

"The people of coal country should not be shortchanged by sequestration when we have their money."

"I commend Chairman Rogers and Congress for their efforts to help coal country communities."

"I again, commend Chairman Rogers and everyone who has joined him in sponsoring the RECLAIM Act."

"Our primary obligation is to ensure coal mines are operated in accordance with the law to protect citizens and the environment during mining, and to restore the land and water after mining."
