Hardy GOP October 8th, 2009
Friends,
The WV Conservative Foundation is working everyday to fight for working families in WV. Our latest event was a Rally for Coal at the Coal Miner Statue on the grounds of the State Capital in Charleston yesterday. With just a couple days advance notice and a couple emails, we had a remarkably large and boisterous crowd in attendance. The best news? An incredible amount of media coverage across the United States and internationally. Total cost for the event? Less than $100. The impact? Priceless. More strategic efforts are being planned.
The media coverage of the coal rally yesterday was absolutely a homerun. We were covered in Dallas, Nashville and greater Tennessee, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Washington, Ohio, and, of course, statewide, and we were even carried on TheStreet.com, MSN Money.com, Businessweek.com, Forbes.com, YahooFinance.com, and other national websites. Even The India Times AND the Spanish language newspaper in Los Angeles, Vivelo Hoy. REMARKABLE!!! CRAZY!!!!!!
Thank you for standing with us as we continue to build our effort to fight effectively for the people of West Virginia!! Feel free to share the good news with your friends and family. WVConservatives.com - Mike Stuart
