Saving Appalachia’s Streams in DC! « It’s Getting Hot In Here

Update: Call in Today! Click here to be connected to your Representative right now. Support the Clean Water Protection Act.

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day over 130 citizen lobbyists from across the US are working to keep our beloved Appalachian Mountains green. With perfect timing, there was a fabulous Op Ed on the need for Obama to take action on mountaintop removal in the NY Times this morning.

We’re here to support the Clean Water Protection Act, HR 1310 –which would stop mining companies from dumping millions of town of blown up mountaintop removal wasted into our streams.

We’ve hit the ground running with appointments beginning at 9 am this morning — a good thing too, since we have over 100 lobby visits scheduled this week.

If they haven’t — you should call in tomorrow, St. Patricks Day, on our national call in day to keep Appalachia’s Mountains Green!
