Our focus in WV tonight was mountaintop removal, a process that blows up the tops of mountains throughout Appalachia to get to the precious coal underneath. While it's a much more efficient way to mine, it leaves a permanent scar on the pristine hills and valleys of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The Bush Administration has helped their coal industry donors keep up this practice, but you can help the people of Appalachia reclaim their land, their clean water, and their heritage.
Please visit ilovemountains.org or christiansforthemountains.org to see how simple it is to take action. Write a member of congress. Turn off your lights. Raise the temp on the AC. Pray.
