On 1/18/07 she voted in lockstep time after time blocking fellow West Virginian Nick Rahall's efforts to repeal a huge corporate tax break that oil and gas firms had been getting since '04. In that series of votes, again, with her fellow Repubs, she clearly demonstrated her party's refusal to take that $13 billion to $15 billion in revenues the tax break repeal would've produced and set the money aside for appropriations that would go to renewable resources.
Why has she become a corporate-loving DC insider?
GOOGLE- "Inside trading: Congress for Sale"
She voted for the largest cut to education funding in US history.
Her record of underfunding Veteran's healthcare is no less than shameful. Google:
"Details of Shelley Moore Capito's Years of Shameful Disregard for Veterans' Health Care Needs"
After the WV legislature passed a bicameral bill to stop the corporate buyout and shutdown of union mines just to shaft miner's health and pension funds, (think Cannelton and Starfire), while on the powerful Republican-run House Rules Committee, Capito never let it be introduced in Congress even though both Rahall and Rockefeller tried.
Regarding her role in the price of gas, she voted against Nick Rahall's "Use It or Lose It" legislation, although oil companies have been investing WAY more billions into pumping up their own stock market than they have in drilling and exploration.

Barth has no less behind her, in her first quest for public office.
It is time to see if Anne Barth can rise to the occasion.
However, if Hillary and Anne also want to make a statement, they would also support the top of the ticket during the same event. That would demonstrate the commitment and political courage that WV needs right now, and would grab the attention of West Virginians and even the nation.
Shelly Moore Capito will have her supporters, notwithstanding how the presidential race turns out. Anne Barth needs to energize and motivate her base in order to close the gap.
Obama will win the presidency, regardless of how West Virginia votes. Anne- How do you want to be remembered when the dust settles?
Can anyone tell me what Barth has done besides rub elbows with Byrd?? Oh well doesn't really matter, Capito will ALWAYS have my vote!
She is a credit to our Senators, also.
do in west virginia is none of your business leave west virginians alone and go back to where you came from
thank you
