Rally to Repeal West Virginia’s House Bill 103
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Tom and I recently traveled to Charleston, West Virginia, to speak at the “Save Our State” Tea Party Rally at the State Capitol Complex near the World War I Memorial.
The rally was a protest against West Virginia’s House Bill 103, passed in June 2009, that mandates utilities to use alternative sources of power such as wind and solar in their energy portfolio.

State interference in the electricity market will result in higher utility bills and job losses.
