Football is a game proverb

 Football is a game designed to keep coal miners off the streets.
  Jimmy Breslin

 One day I bumped into a group of coal miners from the Ozarks, wandering coal miners living a gypsy life... I started to speak with these coal miners, and became very interested in them.

 Here's the problem, you're either working in the government trying to get a job with the coal industry, or vice versa, so that people have to understand this is a very closed community and in order to protect the coal miners, we need someone to open up the process and ensure it's fair.

 We're not getting everything that we think coal miners need in this bill.

 We lost an entire generation of coal miners.

 I think we all care just as much about our coal miners as we do our deer and turkey.

 We must learn the lessons from this accident that will better protect coal miners.

 MSHA will take every step to protect the miners' interest in a fair and open investigation into this tragic accident, including ensuring that the UMWA can participate fully as the miners' representative. We made a commitment to the miners and the families on this. We are elated that the court agreed that the rights of miners' representatives must be protected.

 I'm bitterly opposed to mountaintop removal, because it takes jobs away from coal miners. The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection.

 Coal miners face their worst nightmare. Drilling, pumping and praying.

 Some of the miners are calling the coal a black Band-Aid. The healing process begins today.

 VCEDA didn't work for that money, ... It has been made off the back of several generations of coal miners, and from the gas companies.

 I feel that we should all be made aware of that site and that it should remain intact. Coal mining has made resurgence and with every tragedy comes a benefit and the benefit from the Orient 2 explosion is that new federal laws were enacted that no doubt saved other miners' lives. This site has been and it remains an important part of the nation's history concerning coal mining and it's located right here in Franklin County.

 Coal today currently represents only 0.02 per cent of revenues for the national government. Coal is not very significant in terms of economic production. However coal is important to other countries like the US, which consumes more than 900 million tons of coal each year.

 We believe that the Senate should carefully review this appointment to ensure that this nominee will be the kind of watchdog on behalf of American coal miners that they need.
