3. Let me specifically add a plug for Natalie.

Shelley Moore Capito has been a worthless Congresswoman. She has no concept of leadership, has followed the Republican party line unquestioningly, has created virtually no legislature herself (though she will jump on the bandwagon for her party), and has endlessly come back to her district to take credit for legislation that she has voted against. Yes, that's right. I've seen her at project kick-offs and completion ceremonies, taking credit for bringing tax dollars to West Virginia that she opposed in the House.

Natalie has been Secretary of State for the state of West Virginia for five years. She's streamlined and modernized her office, cutting out a lot of red tape and putting a lot of functions online, saving some serious bucks for the state. She's pushed for increased voter turnout, and made it easier for serving military to vote from overseas. Did you know that West Virginia has one of the highest rates of participation in the military? Anything to support military and their families is a big deal here.

Yes, Natalie will vote to support the coal industry. You can't get elected in this state without it. But she'll be a loyal Democrat, with an emphasis on open government and wise use of our tax dollars.

In the second quarter of 2014, Capito raised $1.3 million, Tennant $777,000. Capito's campaign claims that it proves that West Virginians support her, but there are no details released about the big donations from out-of-state big ticket donors like the Koch Brothers.

Please help us replace Jay Rockefeller with another proud Democrat!
