I ask the question this morning following the passage in the House of Rep. of the Cap &Trade Bill. Do we now have an over wheleming reason to vote Rick Boucher out of office? To believe he would vote against the very industry that this area is so dependent on. This is the very top of arrogance. The Ninth District should vote him out next year. For a very long time Rick Boucher has voted against the wishes of the people that he represents.

I would urge every voter in the Ninth Dist both Republican and Democrat vote Rick Boucher out of office, he does not deserve to represent us.
What a slap in the face he has done to the coal industry and the people of South West Virginia. Boucher represents the coalfields in Southwest Virginia. One would think that he would carefully consider this decision, as the coal industry is one of the largest manufacturers in this region. Additionally, this will raise energy costs significantly over time.
