On Thursday, July 31, U.S. Senate candidate Phil Hudok and his “Mr. Obama Head” creation protested alongside 5000 mine workers in downtown Pittsburgh. Although ignored by the mainstream media, some independent media did cover the story. Links to the articles and video can be found on Phil’s campaign website at http://hudok.com/index.php/umwa-rally-rt-usa/ CPWVa Secretary Jeff Becker and Vice-Chairman Jeffrey-Frank..Jarrell, both state legislative candidates, were also on hand for the prior day’s rally at Highmark Stadium.
