I just came from Washington, D.C., lobbying for bill H.R. 2169, Clean Water Protection Act, and we gain some more co signers to the bill. We had 113 members of The Alliance For Appalachian who all worked endlessly for five days, and a whole lot of back breaking walking to and fro on Capitol Hill. We have now a total of 133 co-signers to the bill, with many follow ups to get back with. Our members represented 20 states, who are apalled at MTR thru out Appalachia. We heard from states from all over the nation, wondering how can this be happening, we are blowing up the Appalachian Mts., and posionning our water. Then people gathered to watch  ABC Nightline on Mon. night. They all saw our Supreme Court Justice, whoring around Monaco with Massey CEO Don Blankenship, while setting on the bench in law suit hearings against Massey Energy. They watched as Blankenship threaten ABC News reporter and his camareman, that they would liable get shot because of photographing him, then the assault that Blankenship inccured upon them, and it all was caught on tape. I have to tell you for the first time, I was ashamed to be a West Virginian. But WAIT, I was ashamed again on Tue. for the second day in a row, when several citizens from WVa., and one resident from Michigan, a pre-med student, and a evengellical christian, arranged a meeting with with W.Va.  Congressman Nick Rahall. This was a really tough meeting, as Mr. Rahall was extremely disrespectable to all of us. He talked to us like dogs. He doesn’t represent the people’s views, just his own interests are served. Not ONE representive from West Virginia, has signed onto the Clean Water Protection Act. When you get to talk to representives from W.Va., one can plainly see the corruption that goes so so deep that one can only say it’s very shameful and embarassing in front of the nations eye, to say that I am from West Viriginia. this state is broken so badly, that we must fight for clean elections, and to take back our government, wich has oppressed us for so long. If West Virginias could have wittnessed what I saw this week, there would be a massive outcry, and a massive march to Charleston, to take back our government, our capitol, and crush the corruption in the politics, that is notthing but a ses-pool,  low life individuls, telling us what we gotta do, and how we gotta live. This is a BROKEN STATE, and we have to take it back, and we are little by little. Talk to your U.S. Senators and Congressmen and tell them to either co-sign, or the senate to enter a companion bill, and support house bill, the Pallone Bill, H.R. 2169, and protect our most precious resource, WATER. This will protect our waterways, so that generations to come, will be assured of clean, fresh drinking water, THANK YOU, Mountainsaver.
