Info for our USA voters-MINING(1st of two):Dear Fr
Post# of 12259
The election this November will be crucial for the mining industry. There's a tremendous amount at stake.
We need lawmakers in Washington, D.C. who understand the importance of mining and how it impacts the nation - from supplying the basic mineral building blocks to our manufacturing base, to powering the nation with affordable and reliable coal-based electricity.
The impact on the future of mining from this election could be far-reaching - from minerals mining permitting reform to pushing back on the EPA's proposed rules that will cause electricity bills to skyrocket - the people you choose this election will make a difference in the years to come.
With this much at stake, it is vital that our supporters are fully engaged and ready to make mining's voice heard at the ballot box.
If haven't registered to vote, please take a moment to do so - the deadline is October 6th.
