With just four days left in 2009, can you help us gather the resources we need to end mountaintop removal coal mining in 2010 by making a special year end gift to iLoveMountains today?
Yes! I want to end mountaintop removal coal mining in 2010.
We’ve achieved an incredible amount in 2009. From gaining a record 161 Congressional co-sponsors for the Clean Water Protection Act to helping stop 79 valley fill permits from being issued for new mountaintop removal coal mining projects, this has been the year when we’ve put Big Coal on notice that the days of destroying mountains for cheap coal are coming to an end.
Yet 2010 is going to be an even more pivotal year in the fight to end mountaintop removal coal mining.In fact, this could be the year when we are able to win meaningful legislation to permanently end this destructive practice.
But we need to ensure that we have the resources we need to beat Big Coal and their lobbyists, who are pulling out all the stops to keep their hold on the mountains we love.
Whether you’re able to contribute $25, $50, $100 or more, every dollar of your special year-end contribution goes directly to groups working to end mountaintop removal coal mining.
And your contribution today will ensure that your voice will be heard from the grassroots to Washington, DC throughout 2010:

Would like to help but we have our own battle going on in SE KY. One of the largest coal companies who will remain nameless for the time being, presented maps as part of a permit package and changed the names of the surface owners to reflect themselves as property owners to avoid notification to me. Then they pulled a mountain top removal under the name of reclamation then the state released bonds under the name of reclamation. Oh there is more, they transfered my property to another mining company and neglected to tell me with the state having full knowledge of whatg was going on. We are on our 6th Status Conference to just get the maps changed.
