The following announcement is sent on behalf of the partner organizations of iLoveMountains.org
 

We need your help to bring an end to mountaintop removal coal mining.  Join us today as part of a national day of action to end mountaintop removal coal mining.

 

This week, nearly 200 citizens from Appalachia and across the US are gathering in our nation's capital as part of the 5th Annual End Mountaintop Removal Week in Washington - and hundreds more will show support by making a simple phone call.

Mountaintop removal coal mining is one of the most egregious environmental and social justice disasters in America today -- more than 500 mountains and 1.5 million acres of land have already been destroyed by this practice.  Residents and supporters from across the US are asking for an end to mountaintop removal and an investment in sustainable economic alternatives for Appalachia.

This issue is urgent and the coal industry is working overtime to block the passage of this bill.  That's why we need people like you to take a stand for the mountains. 

 

Please take a moment to visit www.ilovemountains.org/call-your-rep -- we have a special call-in tool there that will allow you to make a phone call to your Representative - if you've never called your Congressperson before - this is the easiest way to do it! We'll walk you through the steps and help you know exactly what to say or simply see the phone # and script below.

 

You can dial (202) 2240in Here is a script to help you:
