"Now more than ever, it is the time for working people and businesses to join together and speak up about the economic damage caused by an overreaching government. For our communities to grow and prosper, our people need freedom," said Art Kirkendoll, president of the Logan County Commission. "The Friends of America rally is about standing up for our freedoms, our families and the American way of life." ** The rally will feature nationally-recognized musical entertainers and speakers. Featured speakers include Sean Hannity, a nationally-syndicated radio host and Fox television host, and Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Featured entertainers include country music legend Hank Williams Jr., Halfway to Hazard, Taylor Made and others. Release 4 - HQ-FOI-01268-12 All emails sent by "Richard Windsor" were sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson American icon Ted Nugent will emcee the event. * * "America's working families are under attack from several fronts. America's job providers and American workers must rally together and let our voices be heard," said Don Blankenship, CEO of Massey Energy and lead organizer of the Friends of America Rally. "We are proud to provide Central Appalachia with good-paying jobs that cannot be outsourced, and we will continue to fight to make sure they aren't taxed or regulated out of existence." * * "Keeping jobs in America has to be the top priority for our leaders in Washington. American job providers and workers need to join together to ensure we can continue to provide for our families. This rally is being held to let Washington know that we support policies that support American jobs," said Ruth Lemmon, President of the WV Automobile & Truck Dealers Association, one of the many state organizations supporting the event. "We are glad to support the Friends of America rally. It's a perfect opportunity to honor the contribution hard working Americans make to our economy, our communities and our country, and to let those people have a voice in the public debate that affects them so deeply," said Ben Hatfield, CEO of International Coal Group. "We are proud to stand with the men and women that fuel American industry, create American jobs and grow the American economy." "Our responsibility to the people of Southern West Virginia is to protect jobs not only here in West Virginia but America as well, being the son and grandson of West Virginia coal miners, we must keep these jobs from being regulated out of existence by policies that would harm working families," added John Hubbard, president of the Mingo County Commission. "Friends of America" rally will be held on Monday, September 7, 2009, from 10:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event will be free and open to the public. You must register online for your free guest pass.

Logan Banner New rally a Labor Day alternative by PAUL ADKINS, Sports Editor HOLDEN - The battle lines are being drawn on Labor Day in southern West Virginia. There will be one rally in Racine in Boone County. And then there will be another near Holden in Logan County. Red vs. Blue. Release 4 - HQ-FOI-01268-12 All emails sent by "Richard Windsor" were sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson Left vs. Right. For 70 years most Democrats in southern West Virginia knew where they were going to be on Labor Day. They would gather in Racine for the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) Labor Rally. The annual event has played host to many local, state and national Democrats, especially in election years. The 2004 event attracted Democratic presidential candidate and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. But this year, there's competition. A coalition of employers, coal mine operators, businessmen, elected officials and national figures calling themselves "Friends of America," are hosting a day-long event, concert and rally on a reclaimed coal mine site on 22 Mine Road near Holden. "The Friends of America rally is about standing up for our freedoms, our families and the American way of life," said Democrat Art Kirkendoll, president of the Logan County Commission, in a prepared statement. The Friends of America Rally will have as its special guests, Fox News commentator and syndicated radio host Sean Hannity, country music legend Hank Williams Jr., and conservative and gun rights activist and rock legend Ted Nugent, who will serve as the event's emcee. The rally is being sponsored and funded by Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship. The Logan and Mingo county commissions are also sponsors. Talkline radio host Hoppy Kercheval interviewed Blankenship on Tuesday about the event. He asked Blankenship what the message would be at Holden. "I think the message is that American workers are being squeezed from every direction," Blankenship said. "On the left side of the isle they are being squeezed by excessive regulation and work rules. On the right side of the isle they are being squeezed by free trade exporting jobs to China. At some point the American worker, American prosperity and the American way of life must be supported. That's what this is about. We're sort of caught between one side trying to regulate us out of business and the other side trying to export us out of business." Blankenship said there will be a stark contrast between Holden and Racine. "Essentially, there's a belief of those on the middle to the left that the EPA and the government are doing their jobs, unless the government's job is to make us more dependent on foreign energy, unless the government's job is to export our jobs, unless the government's job is to increase pollution in the atmosphere around the world, while proporting to be improving it. I think they are doing a bad job," he said. "We heard too much that the 'enviros' are doing their jobs but in fact it is costing our jobs. "We're getting too far on the side of environment extremism and too much away from what has made America great. Coal, the workers and industry is what made America great." Release 4 - HQ-FOI-01268-12 All emails sent by "Richard Windsor" were sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson Having Nugent, Hannity and Williams Jr., will help get the conservative message out, Blankenship said. "This will give us the publicity and will help us get the message out," he said. "The people who attend will hear our side of the story, which they are not getting out of our media. We will also be able to get some coverage on a national scale about issues like cap-and-trade and energy independence which are key to household budgets and to national security." The conservative website wvared.com says the rally will draw big crowds in the thousands to Holden. "One has to assume that organizers of the Labor Rally in Racine are concerned that the Friends of America Rally will cause low attendance at their event. In recent years the biggest name on the agenda was Joe Manchin, who is probably too closely aligned with big business interests for most liberal pro-union Democrats. The lack of attendance from big name Democrats could spell doom for the Racine rally this year.

  • Princetonian Long Time Obama Aide and Long Time Writer of Classmate News: Chris Lu '88
    The Daily Princetonian Long time Obama aide and long time writer of classmate news: Chris Lu '88 By Jacob Donnelly • Staff Writer • April 20, 2014 On April 5, 1988, at 2:27 a.m., Christopher P. Lu ’88 put the finishing touches on his senior thesis, wrapping up the cover letter to his cheekily-titled research project, “The Morning After: Press Coverage of Presidential Primaries 1972–1984.” The subject of birth was evidently preoccupying him at the time. “In many ways, writing a senior thesis is like having a baby,” he wrote. “The idea for the paper is conceived one day unexpectedly and then gestates inside one’s head for nine months … I now submit this thesis like a proud father, confident that it will stand on its own two feet as a piece of scholarly research.” However, Lu, this year’s Baccalaureate speaker who is a former White House Cabinet Secretary and the current Deputy Secretary of the Department of Labor, had no idea then that his forays into politics and government, rather than over, were only in their embryonic stage. He would remain attached to Princeton as well, serving on the board of trustees of The Daily Princetonian, helping the University’s trustees navigate Washington and diligently keeping up with classmates in order to feature them in the pages of the Princeton Alumni Weekly. “We weren’t totally uncool:” At Princeton Jane Martin ’89, a former sports editor for the ‘Prince,’ remembers Lu as a senior news editor for the ‘Prince,’ a fellow member of Cloister Inn and a good friend.
