“I am Vic Roberts, an old retired coal miner and I am a Green Party candidate for Congress in the Illinois 19th district. While campaigning for public office, I wear my coal miner’s hat as a symbol of the everyday way of life of the laboring class people. My every thought, my every action has been shaped and molded by laboring class people; this is who I am, this is what I am.
