Virginia as a coal state needs to keep coal jobs. In southwest Virginia the coal jobs are the est paying jobs and since they make more money they buy more vehicles, they shop more, and they build more houses. The government is allowing jobs to be lost here BUT they are not replacing the jobs. You need to have better paying jobs already available if you are going to take jobs away otherwise you are going to cause more people to become bankrupt and have to resort to welfare. We have very limited jobs in Virginia and the ones that are available are minimum wage. We as Virginians known what we need and want more than anyone else. This is why that we ask to peacefully withdraw from the United States of America.
