Hello from Washington DC
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
April 6th, 2008 – The following email was sent to the 28,000+ supporters of iLoveMountains.org. To sign up to receive free email alerts, click here.
I wanted to send you a quick note and a photo to let you know that our 3rd Annual Week in Washington is now getting underway.
More than 125 people from all across the country — people like you who care about the mountains and are committed to stopping mountaintop removal coal mining — have come to Washington to spend the next several days meeting face to face with members of Congress.
Our goal is to expand our record 129 co-sponsors of the Clean Water Protection Act — and to convince legislators that now is the time to take action to end mountaintop removal coal mining.
We’ve just now wrapped up our “citizen’s lobbying” training session, and as you can see from the photo, our volunteers on the ground are raring to head out to “the Hill” in defense of our mountains.
You can help make this week a success. I’ll be writing to you on Tuesday and asking for you to take just five minutes of your time to help with our efforts here in DC by calling your representative in Congress.
Please, keep your eyes peeled for that next email — your support on Tuesday means a great deal to the 125 volunteers who have traveled from all over the country to be here for this important week.
Thank you for taking action.
