Here come the canned letters to the editors supporting Space

Newark Advocate

"My congressman, Zack Space, has been particularly hard hit by the criticism for voting "yes" on the American Clean Energy and Security Act, and I think it's unjust.

This bill is investing more than $100 billion dollars in clean coal technology, thanks in large part to Congressman Space."

Chillicothe Gazette

"Once again, Congressman Zack Space has stood up for us by voting for an energy bill that will help begin the process of securing our nation's energy independence.

Space voted for this legislation because it secures a future for Ohio's coal industry. By investing more than $100 billion in clean coal technology, Ohio will be a leader in energy production thanks to our coal industry."


These are just two. You'd think that they'd at least try to change the form letters and add their own words.

So Zach Space voted to ensure our energy independence and actually help the coal industry? What planet are these people on?

How is voting to increase costs for businesses that use coal going to help the coal industry?

How is increasing our cost of living due to increased electricity rates, higher gas prices...to name a few, a good thing?

What is really going to hammer folks in Ohio and West Virginia the most is the increased electricity costs. Now we can use cheap energy buried directly under us. By increasing the costs to mine and burn coal, our electricity rates will increase. No one knows how much.

Zach Space voted to increase your cost of living and at the same time increase unemployment in his own district by harming a major employer, coal.

Dumb! Just what did Nancy Pelosi promise him to make him vote against his own district's interests?

As for the letter writers telling the world that Zach Space voted for this monstrosity of a bill....please keep it up.
