Communities, Welcome to Kirk, West Virginia
Help the People in this Community Stop the Destruction
Sunday, October 14th, 2007
HELP SPREAD THE WORD — Join thousands who are standing up against the destruction of Appalachian mountains and communities and who are helping to spread awareness of the other inconvenient truth about coal: mountaintop removal. | |
THEY’RE BLOWING UP OUR MOUNTAINS AND THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW! Ask your representative to support the Clean Water Protection Act – a bill that would curtail mountaintop removal and protect clean water for millions of Americans. | |
TELL YOUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER — “NOT IN MY NAME!” — Click on this link, submit your zip code and choose “Take Action” where you can print out a letter – tailored to your own electricity provider – asking them not to do business with companies engaged in mountaintop removal strip mining. | |
DONATE WHERE IT’S NEEDED MOST — The most immediate way to help the people fighting to save their homes and mountains near Kirk is to support Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition. OVEC is dedicated to maintaining a diverse grassroots organization for the improvement and preservation of the environment through education, grassroots organizing and coalition building, leadership development and media outreach.

This is a great website and I have passed it on via email to many of my friends and neighbors. I found out about it by reading the article on Thursday in the WSJ.
