Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Join Me In Stopping Mountaintop Removal

[Hissyspit]

Dear -,

Mountaintop removal mining is the worst ongoing environmental tragedy our country has ever endured.

Today, I am asking you to join me in stopping it by making your voice heard in Congress. Go to

For too long we have allowed coal companies to get away with using dynamite to literally blow the peaks right off of
mountains to get at the coal underneath.

The scars of this destructive practice can be seen up and down Appalachia, where hundreds of mountains have already been flattened, communities harmed, and a once beautiful landscape eviscerated.

Coal may be part of our foreseeable energy future, but that doesn't mean we should let mining companies destroy biologically diverse forests and fill our rivers and streams with debris.

We need Congress to act now and end the destruction of Appalachian homes and heritage. The bipartisan Appalachia Restoration Act will halt mountaintop removal mining once and for all.

Tell your senators that you want to end mountaintop removal mining now by going to http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/biogems_cumberland_0309/wggwinw2q7x7mdxb

Let's prevent more mountains and more communities from becoming the next victims of coal.

Sincerely,

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Senior Attorney
Natural Resources Defense Council
