Are you going to return a Congress that acted faster to protect us from obscenity than to protect coal miners?

Question

After Janet Jackson exposed her boob at the Superbowl Congress quickly passed new FCC regulations to protect the veiwing public. After the mining disaster in West Virginia that killed twelve miners, Congress still has not acted to improve safety in coal mines. Are you going to vote to return these guys in November?

To ChrisM, The only boobs that are a threat are boobs like 43 and Pobept.
To Pobept and Zombie, government has the responsibility to protect the safety of workers be they public or private. If employers are criminally negligent they are guilty of a crime. It's up to government (the Courts) to prosecute these criminals and (the legislature) pass the laws to provide for public safety. The Constitution was passed in part to establish justice and promote the general welfare. Coal mining is part of interstate commerce. Section 2 of the Constitution clearly gives Congress the authority to regulate interstate commerce.

No body cares about coal miners. The government is making deals now for Chinese coal.
