Joe Manchin actually said...

West Virginia's coal miners, the bravest workers in world, should be confident about their future, enjoying the fruits of their hard work.

EPA's obstruction of mining permits and this rule from OSM threatens the very existence of the coal industry.

Congress must act to restrain the OSM and the EPA.

I call on you to restore balance in the federal government--to reign in the out-of-control EPA and OSM.
