9th District GOP: Time for Puckett to stand up for coal and endorse Romney

Alpha mine closure announcement another indicator of Obama’s relentless War on Coal

Bastian, VA, September 19, 2012: The 9th District Republican Committee today renewed its efforts to get Democratic Senator Phillip Puckett (D-Russell) to follow through on his promise to oppose Barack Obama’s reelection.  During his hotly contested reelection effort last year, Puckett told voters he would not be supporting President Barack Obama for reelection.

On September 22, 2011, WJHL-TV aired an interview with Puckett stating, “I don’t plan to support President Obama for reelection.”

With the announcement yesterday by Alpha Natural Resources that three Virginia mines would be among the eight closed by the company, Jack Morgan, Chairman of Virginia’s Ninth Congressional District Republican Committee, once again called on Puckett to endorse Governor Mitt Romney for President.  Alpha announced that Hurley’s Twin Star surface mine and Wise County’s Guest Mountain deep mines 8 and 9 will be closing.

“With the jobs and livelihood of the people he represents on the line, Phillip Puckett continues to remain silent about the race for president,” said Morgan.  “Alpha’s announcement makes the stakes of this year’s elections crystal clear: reelecting Barack Obama dooms coal and would turn our entire region into an economic wasteland.  Yet, Phillip Puckett still chooses to remain silent, placing party loyalty above the interests of the people he has been entrusted to serve.

“It is time for Phillip Puckett to end his silence..  He needs to stand up to his party and support the people of his district.  He needs to endorse Mitt Romney now.”
