I remember recently reading a response from a Coal Official about the opposition to MTR. He stated that it was just a few people making a lot of noise. Well, seems he is wrong. Although I didn’t get to go to the I Love Mountains Day in Frankfort, Ky, last month, they had a record turnout. Last year they had 200 people attend, and this year there were 1200!!! And that was in spite of some people not coming out because of snow and ice. The outrage about MTR is there…. people are finding out….. the word is spreading. What has been hidden in secrecy for 2 decades is not hidden anymore. Let’s keep spreading the word in every way possible. If you have a blog, post about MTR regularly. Send e-mails to friends. Write a letter to the Editor, no matter what part of the country you live in. Call WV and KY’s governor, senators, and representatives and express your outrage. We ALL have to speak up about it!

Here’s a neat slideshow by Jim Pence with pictures from the day in KY. It is very encouraging…
