Joe Manchin III
Actor · b. 1947 · Farmington, West Virginia, USA
Joseph Manchin III (born August 24, 1947) is an American politician and businessman serving as the senior United States senator from West Virginia, a seat he has held since 2010. Manchin was the 34th governor of West Virginia from 2005 to 2010 and the 27th secretary of state of West Virginia from 2001 to 2005. He became the state's senior U.S. senator when Jay Rockefeller left office in 2015 and has since been West Virginia's only congressional Democrat. Before entering politics, Manchin helped found and was the president of Enersystems, a coal brokerage company his family owns and operates. Manchin won the 2004 West Virginia gubernatorial election by a large margin and was reelected by an even larger margin in 2008. He won the 2010 special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by incumbent Democrat Robert Byrd's death with 53% of the vote, and in 2012 was elected to a full term with 61% of the vote. Manchin won a second term in 2018 with just under 50% of the vote. In both elections, he over-performed the Democratic presidential ticket by more than 40 percentage points. Since 2021, Manchin has been the only Democrat holding statewide or congressional office in West Virginia, and represents what is, by a large margin, the most Republican-leaning constituency of any Democrat in Congress.

It is a battle over protecting our health and environment from the destructive power of Big Coal. Mining and burning coal is at the epicenter of America's struggle to balance its energy needs with environmental and health concerns.

Movie4.5DocumentaryHand Rolled: A Film About Cigars is a feature length documentary on the artisanal craftsmanship of premium cigars, and the beautiful people that are involved in the process! You might have thought that cigars are factory made like cigarettes, but in actuality, over 300 pairs of hands are involved in the making of each and every premium cigar. This is a truly one of the last remaining industries that manufactures 100% hand made products and uses only 3 ingredients to do so: tobacco, distilled water for fermentation, and vegetable based glue to hold the wrapper on.
