And today a sludge pond holding over a billion gallons of toxic slurry looms over the dilapitated community.

Most people have been forced to leave. But still some are left– there they remain engulfed by silica and coal dust,rattled by 100 ton coal trucks, doomed to rot in a once thriving community.

Encourage President Obama to undue all the damage that has been done by previous administrations.

Reclaim YOUR American heritage.

Planning an earth day gathering at Cliffside in Rutherford County North Carolina where some of your mountain is burning. So very sorry. I pass on the address for the local paper The Daily Courier The Editor P.O. Box 1149 Forest City, North Carolina 28043 A first hand letter would help folks connect with another community. Duke is planning a new 800 mw plant here. We plan to gather to bear witness on earth day. I can send some flyers if I can get a local address.
Peace,
Abby
