Rise Up! West Virginia - Wealthy Politicians

From the new release "Rise Up! West Virginia"

80% of the people in West Virginia are opposed Mountaintop Removal. The WV Coal Association said so. Yet, our mountains are being leveled, our tourism industry is being destroyed and our people are being poisoned! Why? Money! Greed! And political power!

It 's all well to speak against MTR, but what are you going to propose to do to replace all those jobs lost? Who is going to pay the bills in this state, if not our miners?  WHAT IS YOUR ALTERNATIVE?

To paraphrase or borrow from John Lennon.

Life is what happens to you when you are not paying attention.

This can't remain our "dirty uncle secret." We need to tell everyone about this.

Rise Up! folks and spread the word. The heck with saving the planet. Save our people.

Mother Jones said that there was never peace in West Virginia because there was never justice; Just as true today as it was in the 20's. I am a member of a WV family that has been here since the 18th century and I can tell you one thing: people aren't necessarily do-less, but they vote "name recognition". C'mon, people, start learning who you're voting for! Blankensonofabitch bought a court seat for that puppet of his because of folks who voted for a name they recognized, not a man they knew!
