Mine Safety Bill must pass House...

Read about it here from the AFL-CIO

This bill has Ben Chandler as a sponser in the House. Where are the rest of the Kentucky representives? It is the same bill that was sponsered by both our Senators - Mitch McConnell - R and Jim Bunning - R. Why in the world is the House dragging it's feet?

I know why. The House is a dirty little secret for big money lobbyists in Washington. Light has been shed on that recently - with Jack Abramoff and all. Still, this shows that coal mine operators have too much influence there.
