From PatchworkFilms.com Dynamic short clip from the movie Rise Up West Virginia. Enjoy the mountains while they are still here,
cause these guys want us to leave so they can take them:
"I want to develop coal here in America. I'm glad I came back to West Virginia." -George W. Bush!
"West Virginia is the Saudi Arabia of Coal." - Pres. Obama!
"West Virginia is a coal mining state and that's not about to change despite the continued attempts to eliminate Mountaintop Removal Mining!" -Governor Joe Manchin!
"I'll give you all the flat land you want!" - Don Blankenship, Massey Energy!
This video just breaks my heart. I'm a West Virginian and have been fighting MTR since I was 19 (I'm 25). God, seeing this footage is excruciating. How did you get all of this material? Massey & friends usually keep this kind of stuff locked up.
