"Robert E. Murray read a prayer to a group of company staff members on the day after the election, lamenting the direction of the country and asking: “Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build.”"
"On Wednesday, Murray also laid off 54 people at American Coal, one of his subsidiary companies, and 102 at Utah American Energy, blaming a “war on coal” by the administration of President Barack Obama.”"
"Dear Lord:
The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic responsibility, and personal acceptance.
We are a Country in favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom.
My regret, Lord, is that our young people, including those in my own family, never will know what America was like or might have been. They will pay the price in their reduced standard of living and, most especially, reduced freedom.
The takers outvoted the producers. In response to this, I have turned to my Bible and in II Peter, Chapter 1, verses 4-9 it says, “To faith we are to add goodness; to goodness, knowledge; to knowledge, self control; to self control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, kindness; to brotherly kindness, love.”
Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.
Amen."
"The Center for Responsive Politics ranks Murray Energy among the top coal-mining-related donors; it has doled out almost $1 million to GOP candidates this election cycle. And this year the Federal Election Commission shows $10,000 from the company's political action committee in donations directly to the Romney campaign.
Earlier this month, Murray Energy executives blamed Obama when they closed another mine in Ohio (E&E Daily, Aug. 2). While competition from natural gas and other coal-producing regions is hurting Appalachian mines, Murray leaders said the president's policies alone have forced them to lay off workers.
"It's a human issue to me, this election," Murray told WTRF-TV in an interview. "I know the names of every one of our employees, some of their wives. Their lives have been destroyed by the policies of Barack Obama, the radical followers.""
