Somebody needs to do an end-run-around and talk directly to West Virginia voters. [View all]

1. Has Sen Manchin been truthful about the coal industry not coming back? Has he talked about it or avoided it or made statements that sounded like it could, would, should?

2. How has supporting guns and being anti choice put food on your table? Has it gotten you a skilled, well paying job?

3. Did you know that West Virginia is in the top five of states taking the most Federal Assistance?

4. Did you know that Sen Manchin is not sure a $15.00 minimum wage is such a good thing?

5. Did you know the Blue states pay more in Federal taxes then they receive back. Did you know the Federal money flowing into your state comes mostly from tax payers who are Democrats?
