This year began with a terrible workplace tragedy, the explosion at the Sago Mine in West Virginia that claimed the lives of 12 coal miners. More than 30 workers have died in the nation's coal mines already in 2006, making it crystal clear that we need strong protection for our miners.

As oil prices soar, pressure is on to produce more coal. As the mines kick into high gear, we have to protect the miners who are working for us. Let’s make sure there are no more Sagos. The Senate has passed mine safety reform legislation, and it's time for the House to act. Contact your U.S. representative today and ask him or her to support H.R. 5389, a bill that will bring real reform to our mine safety laws.
