<p>P.S.  One of the highlights of the 2000 election was going to a rally &#8220;starring&#8221; Martin Sheen and Dule Hill from <em>West Wing</em>. They were not actors that day.  They were patriotic Americans, and both spoke so very eloquently for Al Gore.  As I said, that was one of the highlights of the 2000 election, which made me all the more angry and sad in the lowest of the low, agonizing days that followed in November 2000.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(bumped up by NoQuarter)</em></p>
<p>Barack Obama has a coal problem.  Responding to yesterday&#8217;s revelation that Barack Obama intends to bankrupt all plants that operate on energy generated from coal, Chris Hamilton, the Senior Vice President of the West Virginia Coal Association, called Obama&#8217;s comments in San Francisco &#8220;unbelievable.&#8221;  I quote the <i><a href="http://www.wvrecord.com/news/215679-coal-official-calls-obama-comments-unbelievable">West Virginia Record</a></i>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The senior vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association called Obama&#8217;s comments &#8220;unbelievable.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;His comments are unfortunate,&#8221; Chris Hamilton said Sunday, &#8220;and <b>really reflect a very uninformed voice and perspective to coal specifically and energy generally.&#8221;</b></p>
<p>Hamilton noted other times Obama and vice presidential candidate Joe Biden have made seemingly <b>anti-coal statements.</b></p>
<p>&#8220;In Ohio recently, when <b>Joe Biden said &#8216;not here&#8217; about building coal-fired power plants &#8212; this is exactly what will happen,&#8221;</b> Hamilton said. <b>&#8220;Financing won&#8217;t be directed here. It will all go aboard for plants elsewhere in the world. The United Sates is importing more coal today from Indonesia, South Africa and Colombia than we ever have.</b></p>
<p>&#8220;If we&#8217;re going to create a situation where coal-fired power plants are at that much of a disadvantage, <b>there will be new ones built. But as Biden said, just not here.&#8221;</b></p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, the workers of West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana and all the other states in which coal is mined, processed and converted to electricity should be prepared to have their jobs outsourced under an Obama Presidency.  That is not the change the economically battered Ohio River Valley needs.  It is also not the change those of us who consume electricity need.  Just imagine the cost of our energy bills if coal plants, which generates 49% of our electricity, are bankrupted and eliminated.  <span id="more-5879"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/11/02/action-alert-obama-has-promised-to-bankrupt-coal-plants/">American Girl in Italy</a> asks <i>No Quarter</i> readers to disseminate the following recording of Barack Obama&#8217;s statement on bankrupting coal plants far and wide.</p>
<p><center><strong>Obama: We Will Bankrupt the Coal Plants</strong></p>
<p><b>VIDEO UPDATE: WE HAVE THE VIDEO OF OBAMA IN SAN FRANCISCO STATING HE WILL BANKRUPT PLANTS RELYING ON COAL</b></p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SMwBbl6RoIs&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SMwBbl6RoIs&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Here is the sound clip:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hdi4onAQBWQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Hdi4onAQBWQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>And I offer more information on who will be affected by Obama&#8217;s reckless energy policy <a href="http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/11/02/memo-to-voters-in-states-producing-and-relying-on-coal-obama-intends-to-bankrupt-your-businesses-and-your-industries/">in an essay I published yesterday.</a>  </p>
<p>Clearly Obama&#8217;s statements will have electoral effects in West Virginia, where he has already garnered opposition from leaders of the industry that is that state&#8217;s main economic engine.  But we must ensure voters in Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania are armed with these facts before they cast votes tomorrow.</p>
<p>Sarah Palin is doing everything within her power to ensure voters in the Ohio River Valley understand the implications and ramifications of Obama&#8217;s desire to bankrupt plants relying on energy produced from coal.  I quote <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/11/02/politics/fromtheroad/entry4564043.shtml">CBS News:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>(MARIETTA, OHIO) - Seizing on a newly released audio tape picked up by the Drudge Report, Sarah Palin took the opportunity here in coal country to accuse Barack Obama of “talking about bankrupting the coal industry.” </p>
<p>“He said that, sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry, and he&#8217;s comfortable letting that happen,” Palin said. “And you got to listen to the tape.” </p>
<p>The audiotape Palin was referring to was recorded by the San Francisco Chronicle in a Jan. 17 interview. </p>
<p>“Why is the audiotape just now surfacing?” Palin asked, leading someone in the crowd to shout, “Liberal media!” </p>
<p>“This interview was given to San Francisco folks many, many months ago,” Palin said. “You should have known about this, so that you would have better decision-making information as you go into the voting booth.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Marietta, Ohio, is located on the Ohio River on the border between Ohio and West Virginia.  This is the perfect place to discuss Obama&#8217;s desire to bankrupt the coal industry, for many of the workers in that city and its environs earn their wages in mines and in factories reliant on coal.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/capturedata78.png' title='capturedata78.png'><img width=460 src='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/capturedata78.png' alt='capturedata78.png' /></a></p>
<p>And Sarah and the audience in Marietta, Ohio, are correct: we only learned about this now as a result of the venal and obsequious media&#8217;s suppression of any and all information that is unfavorable to Barack Obama.  Just witness <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/02/palin-knocks-obama-over-months-old-coal-comments/">CNN&#8217;s attempt to minimize the importance of this story</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Contrary to her attempts to portray a media cover-up, audio and video recordings of Obama’s January 17 sit-down with the Chronicle editorial board have been freely available online for more than nine months.</p>
<p>In the interview, Obama said that his “aggressive” cap-and-trade plan would charge polluters for every unit of carbon or greenhouse gas they emit, a plan that would render polluting coal plants financially unviable.</p>
<p>“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can,” he said. “It’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.”</p>
<p>In the interview, Obama also made the case for alternative energy sources, adding that he does not believe coal production will be eliminated, and that he supports carbon capture and sequestration technologies.</p>
<p>John McCain also supports a market-based cap-and-trade proposal to reduce carbon emissions.</p>
<p>Regardless, Palin sought to use Obama’s words against him in a part of the country where coal has long been king.</p>
<p>“He said that, sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry, and he&#8217;s comfortable letting that happen.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The media, it seems, will not inform working class voters of Obama&#8217;s attempts to eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs and raise our electricity bills.  But Sarah Palin and those who care about the economy of West Virginia and other states in the Ohio River Valley will.  And so will we, for we understand that the elimination of jobs in a region of a country Obama already insulted with his <a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/891685,CST-NWS-obama12.article">comments in San Francisco about those bitter small town voters in Pennsylvania and Ohio who cling to guns and religion</a> will not solve America&#8217;s economic woes.  Indeed, it will only exacerbate the current recession.</p>
<p>Let us stand with West Virginia and the Ohio River Valley and defend those who rely on coal for their economic livelihood.  This is certainly what Hillary would do.  I quote the <i>Sun-Times</i> article I cite above: </p>
<blockquote><p>After the quotes [about "bitter clingers"] surfaced on a political blog Friday, Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and GOP hopeful John McCain immediately decried them as evidence that Obama is &#8220;elitist&#8221; or &#8220;out of touch.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My opponent said that the people of Pennsylvania who faced hard times are bitter. Well, that&#8217;s not my experience,&#8221; Clinton told a crowd in Philadelphia. &#8220;As I travel around Pennsylvania, I meet people who are resilient, who are optimistic, who are positive, who are rolling up their sleeves &#8230; Pennsylvanians don&#8217;t need a president who looks down on them, they need a president who stands up for them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>And yes, Barack Obama is an elitist politician who &#8220;looks down on&#8221; voters in the Ohio River Valley and in other areas of the country that rely on coal.  Hillary Clinton does not, and neither does John McCain.  <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/11/02/mccain_in_pennsylvania_im_a_co.html">Here is John McCain yesterday campaigning in Pennsylvania:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>SCRANTON, Pa. &#8212; Campaigning in coal-rich Pennsylvania, GOP presidential nominee John McCain pledged this afternoon that if elected president, he would ensure that the U.S. exports coal overseas &#8212; something that U.S. policy already permits.</p>
<p>At the same time, the McCain campaign and Republican National Committee reportedly launched robocalls in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other coal states attacking Sen. Barack Obama&#8217;s position on coal.</p>
<p>Mocking Obama for a comment he made in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in January &#8212; &#8220;The only thing I&#8217;ve said with respect to coal, I haven&#8217;t been some coal booster,&#8221; Obama had said &#8212; McCain promised the audience at the University of Scranton that he&#8217;s been a proud coal cheerleader in the past, and plans to be one in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;My friends, you know what Senator Obama said about a year ago, he said he had not been a, quote, coal booster,&#8221; he said, as the crowd booed. &#8220;My friends, I&#8217;ve been a coal booster and it&#8217;s going to create jobs, and we&#8217;re going to export coal to other countries and we are going to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. That&#8217;s going to help restore the economy of the great state of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>The robocalls have been placed, but we must ensure the voters understand that Obama desires to bankrupt the coal industry and increase the prices of our energy bills.  We have one day, and this must be done.  Circulate the video I cite above.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><b>[UPDATE]</b>: Ohio Coal Association issues a scathing statement on Barack Obama&#8217;s statement.  <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/story.aspx?guid={DFD1EBEB-73EC-4661-B8BA-40D8EBD7D93D}">I quote</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov 03, 2008 /PRNewswire&#8211;USNewswire via COMTEX/ &#8212; Mike Carey, president of the Ohio Coal Association (OCA), today issued the following statement in response to just-released remarks from Senator Barack Obama about the nation&#8217;s coal industry. </p>
<p>&#8220;Regardless of the timing or method of the release of these remarks, the message from the Democratic candidate for President could not be clearer: the Obama-Biden ticket spells disaster for America&#8217;s coal industry and the tens of thousands of Americans who work in it. </p>
<p>&#8220;These undisputed, audio-taped remarks, which include comments from Senator Obama like &#8216;I haven&#8217;t been some coal booster&#8217; and &#8216;if they want to build [coal plants], they can, but it will bankrupt them&#8217; are extraordinarily misguided.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s evident that this campaign has been pandering in states like Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylvania to attempt to generate votes from coal supporters, while keeping his true agenda hidden from the state&#8217;s voters. </p>
<p>&#8220;Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short- sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote. But today, the nation&#8217;s coal industry and those who support it have a better understanding of his true mission, to &#8216;bankrupt&#8217; our industry, put tens of thousands out of work and cause unprecedented increases in electricity prices. </p>
<p>&#8220;In addition to providing an affordable, reliable source of low-cost electricity, domestic coal holds the key to our nation&#8217;s long-term energy security - a goal that cannot be overlooked during this time of international instability and economic uncertainty. </p>
<p>&#8220;Few policy areas are more important to our economic future than energy issues. As voters head to the polls tomorrow, it is essential they remember that access to reliable, affordable, domestic energy supplies is essential to economic growth and stability.&#8221; </p>
<p>The Ohio Coal Association (OCA) is a non-profit trade association representing the interests of Ohio&#8217;s underground and surface coal mining producers. The OCA represents nearly 40 coal producing companies and more than 50 Associate Members, which include suppliers and consultants to the mining industry, coal sales agents and brokers and allied industries. The Ohio Coal Association is committed to advancing the development and utilization of Ohio coal as an abundant, economic and environmentally sound energy source. </p></blockquote>
<p>Representing 40 coal producing companies and more than 50 associate members in related industries, the OCA will deliver many Ohio votes to John McCain. </p>
<p>Words do matter, I guess.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://budwhite.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/pa.png"><img src="http://budwhite.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/pa.png" alt="" title="pa" width="180" height="105" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-756" /></a></p>
<p>First, I want to address those supposed internal poll numbers that have McCain ahead in PA, MI, NJ and closing in on CA. I have not been able to verify those numbers. They could be true, they might not be. I said back during the primaries that a Pampers nomination would put PA, MI, and NJ in play. Since we know that the pollsters have not been releasing accurate numbers, as their models are weighted heavily to Pampers, with interviewees being mostly Democrats, I think it is safe to say that this race is tied, and will be decided by the undecided voters, which have been breaking for McCain, and will continue to do so. Why? Because if you haven&#8217;t made the commitment to Pampers by now you are nervous enough about his fraudulent fascist ass that you are going to hold your nose and vote for McCain; at least he is a known quantity. Internals cannot always be trusted either. </p>
<p><span id="more-5886"></span></p>
<p>In NC internal numbers had Clinton within 5 points and shaving a point each day off Pampers lead; she lost by 15, but we know now that was due to double counted ballots, and other methods of fraud. Numbers can be given to motivate workers, volunteers, and voters. I think the best strategy is to not put faith in numbers and work your asses off in the next 24 hours to defeat Pampers. Keep making calls. Keep canvassing, get out the vote, and go vote yourselves. The Pampers fraud machine is in full force so we need every vote for McCain to count (we can deal with the &#8220;what should have been&#8221; with Hillary later). DO NOT ALLOW ANY POLL NUMBERS MAKE YOU FEEL THIS IS OVER. </p>
<p>And lay off the conscientious abstainers. They have made their decision based on their ethics. Respect it. If, in the privacy of the voting booth they have a change of heart, they will do that without being cajoled by us (my entire immediate family is voting for Pampers, guess how that feels?). Now, on to Pennsylvania. </p>
<p>I believe that John McCain is going to win the 21 electoral votes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on Tuesday. In 2004 Bush lost the state by 144,248 votes (see the above map of the 2004 result). The cities of Philadelphia, Allentown, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Erie went to Kerry, while the entire rest of the state voted for the Shrub. Pampers will no doubt take Philadelphia. But McCain doesn&#8217;t need Philadelphia to win. He needs, and he&#8217;s going to get, Allegheny County. </p>
<p>In 2004 Kerry won Allegheny, and outlying counties, by slim margins:<br />
Allegheny: 96,987</p>
<p>Beaver: 2,230<br />
Washington: 552<br />
Fayette: 4,075<br />
That&#8217;s 103,844 votes. Leaving a margin of 40,044 votes in the 2004 totals.</p>
<p>There is one reason and one reason only that Kerry took these counties: Tereza Heinz-Kerry. Knowing this, Obama tried to trot her out in the run-up to the Pennsylvania primary. Her lack of enthusiasm for the candidate was pretty obvious. Obama has no such connection. In fact, the one thing he had going for him in the area, John Murtha, decided to pick the scab off the bitter/cling incident by calling his constituents racists, and then rednecks. Personally I think Murtha fell on a grenade, potentially ending his political career to prevent Obama from getting into the White House. Between that, Joe the Plumber, Bittergate, the Hillary/PUMA effect and Obama&#8217;s ever shrinking tax break income threshold (it used to be $250,000&#8230;now his ads say $200,000&#8230;.his VP says $150,000&#8230;.Bill Richardson says $120,000&#8230;.we know it&#8217;s really around $42-50,000&#8230;middle class, get ready for the mugging) chances are McCain is going to win all four of those counties.</p>
<p>Another Kerry stronghold was Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. Margins were not that wide there either.<br />
Lackawanna County (Scranton is County Seat): 14,807<br />
Luzerne County: 4,620</p>
<p>I believe that it is the PUMA effect that will have the greatest impact in drawing Democrats away from Obama. Forget Biden&#8217;s connection to Scranton. He hasn&#8217;t had any there in decades. No one is seeing his appearance there as a homecoming. It&#8217;s a hey I used to be from here vote for me kind of feeling. When Democrats for McCain and Harriet Christian are leading PUMAs on major canvassing safaris, reminding everyone what Obama and the DNC did to Hillary, the candidate they still love, what Obama said about them, etc. I see both counties in play big time. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication up there!</p>
<p>Joe the Plumber will also pull in votes in Allentown, and Erie. We hear time and time again that working class voters are &#8220;values voters,&#8221; meaning that they vote with the candidate whom they feel represents their beliefs, even if they are voting against their economic interests. In 2008 the McCain/Palin ticket not only speaks to them more, especially with a woman who comes directly from the working class, but will better serve their economic interests by not taxing them into the poor house, or taxing their employers into laying them off (and with those ever lowering tax thresholds that is exactly what is going to happen).</p>
<p>The simple fact of the matter is that if McCain&#8217;s internals didn&#8217;t have him in striking distance he and Palin wouldn&#8217;t be wasting their time. And if Camp Pampers didn&#8217;t think the same thing he and Biden wouldn&#8217;t be there either. </p>
<p>One final factor working for McCain: Pampers fatigue. Pennsylvania was the state that shocked the nation when polls came out saying they were sick and tired of hearing Pampers&#8217; voice and seeing his face everywhere. They felt that way during the primaries. I can only guess how they feel now. I would imagine there are a lot of people in PA doing what I do&#8230;turning down the volume on the TV, changing the channel, or throwing random objects. No one overkills like Pampers whose motto must be, &#8220;Too much of me is never enough.&#8221; Pampers, I&#8217;ve got news for you; too little of you is too much of you. PA is also the state where Pampers told Ed Rendell, &#8220;We don&#8217;t need the people, we just need the checks.&#8221;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be surprised if it&#8217;s going to be Pennsylmania for McCain tomorrow. Sorry Pampers, you need the people, not just the checks.</p>

<p>Jonathan Martin of <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1108/PA_GOP_pops_lastminute_Wright_ad.html">Politico</a> reports that the Pennsylvania GOP is running the following<br />
ad in the Key Stone state. Martin writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>McCain has refused to invoke Wright or allow his campaign to use the pastor in ads. A senior campaign aide said they knew nothing about the Pennsylvania party&#8217;s ad in advance. Officials with the state party didn&#8217;t respond to an e-mail.</p></blockquote>
<p>Martin, however, wants to blame McCain for the ad:</p>
<p><span id="more-5870"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>McCain&#8217;s campaign is taking a hands-off approach, not disavowing the ad.</p>
<p>Says campaign spokesman Peter Feldman.</p>
<p>“John McCain’s position with regard to Reverend Wright is clear. He is not the referee of every political ad in this election.”</p>
<p><strong>Of course, McCain is the leader of the leader the GOP, and could urge a state party to not air such an ad.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Of course Martin is upset because <strong>this ad is accurate</strong>. This ad is fundamentally about judgment. Obama chose a racist pastor and stayed with him for 20 years; that&#8217;s bad judgment. Obama infers that Pennsylvanians are racists. These facts about Obama and his devotion to Wright along with the insults directed at the good people of Pennsylvania will swing many Independents to McCain.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s arrogance is repulsive; his judgment is worse.</p>
<p>::::::::::::</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE from Bronwyn Obamanot:</strong>  As our regular readers know from reading our stories on Friday and Saturday &#8212; including &#8220;<a href="http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/10/31/goptrustcom-kicks-a-great-ads-in-all-the-battleground-states/">GOPTrust.com Kicks A–! (Great ads in all the battleground states!)</a>&#8221; &#8212; another 527, GOPTrust.com, is also running a searing ad about Obama&#8217;s long relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright.  </p>
<p>Many of you contributed to the 527&#8217;s fund, and I want to be sure to let you know that your donations are paying off!</p>
<p>On Sunday night, one of our writers noticed that GOPTrust paid to run the ad during the highly-rated CBS primetime Sunday reality TV show, <em>The Amazing Race</em>.</p>
<p>Now that is hot ad placement!  <em>The Amazing Race</em> has <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285335/">won</a> 11 Primetime Emmy awards.  </p>
<p>The prime-time <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gYSk_7YU_6WuoeX66v72DMnruzMwD93V6E300">Nielsen ranking and rating</a> for the October 21st airing is:</p>
<blockquote><p>18. &#8220;Amazing Race 13,&#8221; CBS, <strong>10.29 million</strong> viewers.</p></blockquote>
<p>Imagine that. Your contributions enabled GOPTrust.com to reach over 10 million people tonight during a show that is ranked 18th out of all prime-time primary network programming &#8212; <em>and that&#8217;s just on the one ad spot that we are aware of</em>.  True to its word, GOPTrust.com has placed its ads in as many spots as possible, both nationally and in the key battleground states.</p>
<p>Tell Bill Ayers that that is true &#8220;power to the people.&#8221;  Tell the anti-free speech Obamabots that all the viewers of tonight&#8217;s <em>Amazing Race</em> saw this ad:</p>
<h1 style="margin-top:0px; font-size:24px; line-height:30px;">Obama and Wright: He Never Complained Once</h1>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I3IAjphhw6E&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I3IAjphhw6E&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>

<p>Wyoming, <strong>West Virginia</strong>, Kentucky, <strong>Pennsylvania</strong>, Texas, <strong>Montana</strong>, Illinois, <strong>Virginia</strong>, <strong>North Dakota</strong>, <strong>Colorado</strong>, <strong>Indiana</strong>, <strong>New Mexico</strong>, Utah, <strong>Ohio</strong>, Alabama and <strong>Arizona</strong>: <a href="http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/coal/statepro/imagemap/usaimagemap.htm">these coal producing states</a> will be adversely affected by Barack Obama&#8217;s energy policy.</p>
<p>Imagine mines closing, factories closing, jobs lost, towns abandoned, small businesses failing, pensions lost, wages dropping and widespread economic depression in states that rely on coal mining and processing.  This is what Obama&#8217;s cap and trade system will engender in states such as WV, PA, MT, VA, ND, CO, IN, NM, OH and AZ.  Just listen to this audio of Obama discussing how he will bankrupt factories and businesses that rely on power generated from coal when he was interviewed by the <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/month?blogid=42&#038;year=2008&#038;month=01"><em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> in January 2008</a>:<span id="more-5850"></span></p>

<p><strong>[[[TAKE ACTION!! RIGHT NOW!<br />
Start posting this video on sites in the coal based states:  Virginia, Montana, Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, North Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado.]]]</strong></p>
<p>Here is the transcript:</p>
<blockquote><p>Let me sort of describe my overall policy.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;ve said is that <strong>we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else&#8217;s out there</strong>.</p>
<p>I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.</p>
<p><strong>So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it&#8217;s just that it will bankrupt them because they&#8217;re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that&#8217;s being emitted.</strong></p>
<p>That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.</p>
<p>The only thing I&#8217;ve said with respect to coal, <strong>I haven&#8217;t been some coal booster.</strong> What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.</p>
<p><strong>So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s just that it will bankrupt them.</strong>&#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p>Does Obama realize the number of jobs lost when he arrogantly states that plants will be bankrupted under his energy policy?  Does he not understand the number of lives affected?  </p>
<p>The Ohio River Basin is <a href="http://outreach.lrh.usace.army.mil/Industries/Coal/default.htm">one area of the country that will be decimated as a result of Obama&#8217;s desire to bankrupt plants relying on coal</a>.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/capturedata78.png' title='capturedata78.png'><img width=460 src='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/capturedata78.png' alt='capturedata78.png' /></a></p>
<p>And while the economy of the Ohio River Valley is decimated, the following regions of the country will witness no job growth, as the following <a href="http://www.platts.com/Resources/map/archive/083004_map.html">proposed plants</a> will never be built:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/coal_future.gif' title='coal_future.gif'><img width=460 src='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/coal_future.gif' alt='coal_future.gif' /></a></p>
<p>Permits for these <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/05/29/coal-plant-deathwatch-map/">proposed plants</a> have already been cancelled:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/googlecoal1-1.jpg' title='googlecoal1-1.jpg'><img width=460 src='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/googlecoal1-1.jpg' alt='googlecoal1-1.jpg' /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrashg.org/coalplant.htm">The West</a> will also be adversely affected by Obama&#8217;s reckless energy policy:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/coalmap.gif' title='coalmap.gif'><img width=460 src='http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/coalmap.gif' alt='coalmap.gif' /></a></p>
<p>Bankrupting an entire industry will destroy the lives of Americans across the country.  Both coal produces and consumers will have to fire employees, and this will create widespread job loss and increased economic recession.</p>

Thirty volunteers from states across the country participated in their caravan across southern Ohio during the weekend of the sixteenth.  They canvassed, and they distributed fliers and signs to voters in counties that voted heavily for Hillary Clinton during the primary.  Media outlets also reported on the Real Democrats&#8217; efforts to deliver the state of Ohio to John McCain.  View the photographs of Real Democrats in action below the fold.  </p>
<p>Because their caravan across southern Ohio was a success, Real Democrats intends to tour eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and southern Pennsylvania.  I quote Paulie Abeles:</p>
<blockquote><p>Our next bus tour will be next weekend—<br />
<strong>We plan to hit the road Friday morning, October 31st and continue until—yup, you guessed it—Tuesday, November 4th.</strong><br />
Right now, we anticipate traveling through Eastern Ohio, Western and Southern PA.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you desire to join Paulie and her group for a weekend of campaigning in the critically important region of eastern Ohio and western PA for one day, two days or for the entire five day period, please contact Paulie at <strong>pabeles@realdemocratsUSA.org</strong>.  The more volunteers there are, the more effective the group will be.</p>
