With weeks until polling booths open, the topic of 'coal' l is on the forefront of the minds of voters.
Saturday West Virginia miners took their message to Ohio.
They say President Obama has a 'war on coal,' and increased regulations on the industry are costing jobs and causing mines to shut down.
The miners held a rally Saturday afternoon in Lawrence County, Ohio where miners spoke and rallied for Mitt Romney.
They say it's important to spread their message in the buckeye state because...unlike, West Virginia, Ohio is a key swing state.
