Clean water for you?

Hello folks! Several of the groups which make up the Alliance For Appalachia, are in the District of Columbia this week keeping the Clean Water Protection Act, (CWPA) fresh on the minds of those in congress. The CWPA is a bill which would restore the original intent of the Clean Water Act (1972), will cost nothing to implement, will end the destruction of mountains and the valley fills which bury our streams and poison the water. All this and more a direct consequence of MTR. This bill would not cost jobs and would only stop that one form of coal mining, MTR. If your unfamiliar with some of these terms or MTR you can learn more by clicking the title of this blog entry, or go to ilovemountains.org, have fun educating yourself and seeing this domestic terrorism.

Clean Water for who? Why? (click here)

We were in the District of Columbia, the capitol of this country, for the last five days showing legislators why they should support the Clean Water Protection Act(CWPA). And tossing a Frisbee in the halls of congress.

This is one of those bills that is a "no-brainer" except for those who have a financial or political interest in allowing the permanent destruction of mountains, the poisoning of our drinking water, and the waste of our lands. Please educate yourself about MTR and learn why your children will thank you for an educated vote. Call the congressional hotline and ask for your congressman and then ask that legislator to vote for the CWPA, Ph# 202-225-3121
