Charleston, WV - In case you missed it: Yesterday in Beckley, West Virginia, coal miners and working families did not let heavy rain stop them from coming out in full force against Republican candidates Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, Evan Jenkins and Alex Mooney as they campaigned with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
The West Virginia AFL-CIO and United Mine Workers of America were well represented at the protest.

"When working men and women stand united across our valleys and hollows, there is no legislative hurdle we cannot overcome and no picket line we cannot hold."
