URGENT URGENT URGENT
DON’T LET POLITICS INTERFERE WITH MINE SAFETY PROGRESS OR WEST VIRGINIA’S ECONOMY!
Call Your Congressperson TODAY
and Ask Them to Vote NO on S-Miner
House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller (D-Calif.) is pushing a new “mine safety” bill even before the mining community has had a chance to fully implement the bipartisan Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response (MINER) Act. The House is set to vote on WEDNESDAY on the Supplemental-MINER Act (H.R. 2768), a bill that would impose new, unnecessary regulations on coal mining operations that will do very little to improve mine safety. Passage of this new legislation could possibly idle or close mines and have unintended, adverse effects on mine safety. ACT NOW and call your House representative and urge them to vote “NO” on H.R. 2768 when it comes to the House floor.
PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE NOW!
