From the Inbox: Stop the Disaster that is mountain top removal mining!

Dear Friend,

Write your Senators Today
A citizen speaks to their Senator about
the Appalachia Restoration Act (S 696)

As oil continues to gush into the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and as the Obama administration continues to approve new mountaintop removal coal mining permits, it has never been more obvious that America needs to aggressively pursue a clean energy future.

A critical first step in pursuing that future could be achieved if the Senate passed the Appalachia Restoration Act (S 696), which would sharply curtail mountaintop removal in the United States and protect the valleys, streams and communities that are being devastated by this destructive form of mining.

You can help make that happen. Could you take just a moment today to contact your Senators, and ask them to become a co-sponsor of the Appalachia Restoration Act?

There's never been a more critical time to drive home the point about how mountaintop removal coal mining and a clean energy future don't mix. Please, contact your Senators today and ask them to become a co-sponsor of the Appalachia Restoration Act (S 696).

Thank you for taking action.
