RFK Jr - It's A Crime

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. captured Anti-mountaintop removal (MTR) rally attendees Monday by calling out corrupt politicians and calling it a crime what the coal companies are doing. Filmed 2pm Monday December 7, 2009 at a rally to save Coal River Mountain from destruction.

Stop destroying our country for profit! There is no such thing as "clean coal". Don't believe the lies!

It's a crime what's being done to these mountains. It looks like a moonscape not too far from where I live. The streams are being covered over and polluted. The trees are being stripped off, & those trees help make ground water. For years these coal companies treated miners like cattle, now it's cheaper for them to do this and poison everybody downstream in the process.

Kennedy's all seem natural public speakers.

This man is so intelligent, so eloquent and so patient with us-- I just want to extend a heart felt thank you to Mr. Kennedy and to apologize for any rude or attacking comments, as I know he is right.

We need to have jobs for these guys that are now working with the big destruction industry-- my baby calls them Mountain Eating monsters-- education, training and hig paying jobs in sustainable industries NOW.

Honk if you love free speech

[treehuggersnightmare]

It's a crime that this idiot was actually allowed to speak in public. He is Just like Daryl Hannah... Where is she now?... HMMMM makes you wonder if they really mean what they say or just trying to get some free press. Kerry.. I mean Kennedy will leave just like Daryl Hannah... now that the truth is coming out about global warming.... Drill bench, drill, BOOM !!!!!!

He's a Kennedy. If he wants to save the land, then he should buy the land.

He's a power hungry limousine liberal. I'd cut the top of a mountain off if I thought he actually cared, which I don't.

Thank you RFK Jr. and all those that fight for the beauty of WV!

The purchaser of politicians and rapist of Mother Earth, Don Blankenship, should be in jail. He cares about nothing but his bank accounts.
