Current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been one of Kentucky's senators for 26 years. He has centered his political career around promoting himself as the chief defender of "money is speech."

I happen to be a disabled person who collects U.S. postal history items.

I am writing to several newspapers across the country in search of postal history covers to add to my collection. I am collecting old envelopes from 1970 to the present.

If anyone in your area is interested in donating old envelopes, please mail them to Elysia Duke, 3315 Treece Road, Hornbeak, TN 38232-3039.

Taylor Regional Hospital would like to take this opportunity to give our sincere thanks to the following people and businesses for their donations and sponsorships to the 2nd Annual TRH Golf Scramble.

Thanks to these supporters, we were able to raise enough money to purchase a new van to be used to assist patients who do not have a means of transportation.

Major sponsors: Citizens Bank, Community Trust Bank and Taylor County Bank.

Diamond sponsors: Bennett's Carpets, Jewish Hospital and St. Mary's Healthcare, Johnson Controls.

With Election Day just around the corner, I take this opportunity to urge all of the readers of the News-Journal to get out and vote. And consider also that, if you flip a switch to turn the lights on, there is a good possibility that the electricity is produced from coal. And you probably also realize a savings on it because it is produced from coal.

The coal industry is currently under attack from those in Washington who would want to stop all coal mining. We cannot let this happen. There is no alternative in place to take the place of coal.
