Bill Raney, West Virginia Coal Association, and Big Coal: 3.8 million dollars to the Republican Party, 2000 election. Peabody Energy, $250,000 to Republican National Committee, Chairman Engelhardt personally gave $100,000 to the Bush-Cheny Inaugural Fund. February 2001, Peabody Energy decides for some reason to have an initial share offering, files with SEC. May 22, 5 days after Bush Energy Plan released, Peabody Energy goes public, Chairman Engelhardt's personal reward? $23 million personal rebate. Yep, those Republicans, the party of the little man and the Jeffersonian farmer. Enjoy your vast rebate, Claymore.

yours, Peter T.
