The Other Face Of Robert Byrd
Isn't it nice that Robert Byrd is working so hard to protect his constituents?
Too bad those damned kids don't wear suits and ties and have lots of money...

From ABC Nightline's email on one of the segments on tonight's (June 14, 2006) show:
MARSH FORK ELEMENTARY Marsh Fork Elementary School in the hills of West Virginia sits less than 300 feet from a coal silo. Every day the coal is "scrubbed" -- the mercury and titanium are literally washed off with a chemical agent. Several children who go to the school have developed respiratory problems -- headaches, sore throats and nausea. The state says the school is perfectly safe, but parents of some of the kids who have become sick are filing a class action against Massey Energy, the mining company. The company now wants to build a second coal silo next to the school. Correspondent David Kerley has our report tonight from West Virginia. We hope you'll join us.
