TAKE ACTION: Urgent - Obama About to Act on Mountaintop Removal Mining
From EarthJustice :
In only hours, we expect President Obama's agencies to decide
whether to keep his campaign promise and end mountaintop removal
mining -- a devastating practice that has destroyed hundreds of
mountains and thousands of miles of streams in Appalachia.
This is one of the most critical moments in our years-long fight
to stop this environmental tragedy.

TAKE ACTION: Tell President Obama to finally take action and
prevent the permanent devastation of some of the world's oldest
mountains!

But, even as you read this, the powerful lobbying forces of King
Coal are banging on the White House door, urging Obama to break
his promise. Coal's forces run deep and are gathering. They know
that Obama is about to make a decision. Their voices are loud.
We need to be louder.
But we must act fast. Decisions are expected as early as
tomorrow, and Tuesday is a big day in court.
Please act now. Tell President Obama not to support Bush
administration policies that continue the irreversible and
destructive practice of mountaintop removal. Urge President
Obama to keep his promise to enforce the Clean Water Act and let
science lead policies on coal mining.
We have reasons to be concerned about Obama's decision. Some in
his administration have publicly stated that most pending
permits for mountaintop removal mining "will not raise
environmental concerns." There are nearly 100 permits poised to
bury and permanently destroy 432 valleys and 213 miles of
streams in Kentucky and West Virginia alone. Permits that were
halted are now being reviewed.
Tell President Obama to finally take action and prevent the
permanent devastation of some of the world's oldest mountains --
and the communities that surround them. Don't let dirty coal
win! Talk is cheap, it's time that President Obama make his
words the law.
Please act today. It soon could be too late.
