RFK Jr Coal River Mountain Rally

"We are not fighting for the environment for the sake of the fishes and the birds. We're fighting for it because we understand that nature is the infrastructure of our communities. If, on the other hand we .. treat the planet as if it were a business in liquidation, convert our natural resources to cash as quickly as possible, have a few years of pollution based prosperity we can generate an instantaneous cash flow and the illusion of a prosperous economy but our children are going to pay for our joy ride. Environmental injury is deficit spending. It's a way of selfishly loading the cost of our prosperity on to the backs of our children."

Thank you, Bobby and all that were there that day.

I know several and I appreciate what they are doing for our country and our environment. When will we wake up, folks, we are slowly but surely going to have nothing left.

We have a right to fight for our country if they won't fight for us.

Way to Go, Bobby , Thanks again.

At least he gets his ass out of that house to try and make a difference.

I am by no means a rich person, but I surely did not produce a half dozen kids I cannot afford to feed...Hello.. You have to put things into perspective.

It is easy for RFK to speak out. Where did his money come from? How did his family get their $millions? Did anyone ask when the last time he had to be concerned how to provide for his family? I understand he is the grandson of a bootlegger. The wealthy want to keep the poor down and make the working people poor. That way the people are more powerless against the elite wealthy families of this country. RFK went back to his comfortable home provided by his grandfather.

Thank you Kennedy! thank you to all the great speakers that day and I really am glad I was there. I want to apologize for the Minors, ha ha I mean miners and the ignorance they wear over their eyes-- they can not see the truth as they are brainwashed right now. Hope they will wake up as the country and the world wake up. I feel it is happening, I hope it is happening, and I am trying to create this happening as we save Coal River Mountain and may we gain the momentum to save the world!!

The country will not survive Obama as we know it; what Bush didn't finish, Obama will; they are two extremist wings on the same bird of greed. Why would you think Obama wants to stop Big Coal? Not true. Everything he has done thus far has made his words a hollow lie. He has lost the environmental vote. Funny how we have to disclose if a house was built before a certain date because the paint had lead back then but Massey can spread lead at will. MTR is a sin and the wages of sin is death.

Stop Mountian top removal. Save the purple mountain majesties.

You have got to be kidding me... If this country can survive for the next three years under this administration, it will be a miracle. Keep trying to stop the mining... keep spreading the lies.. mercury, lead, arsenic? LMAO. You are on the same level as Kerry... I mean Kennedy. That isn't a compliment either. I keep looking for someone that knows a little something about MTR, but I keep finding people like bird boy... Pathetic... Drill bench, Drill, BOOM !!!!!!

We will rise against the tyranny and opression of Coal Industry Fascism. We will never say "SEIG HEIL" to Der Coal Fuhrer and surrender to his Gestapo Miners. We will never fall victim to Coal Field Stockholm Syndrome.

"Never give in.. never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force.. never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." - Winston Churchill

VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

Thank you RKJ and Dr James Hansen for standing up against MTR as men of honour and conviction. Obama could stop it but he doesn't. He said he would follow the science. He lied. Let's call it what it is; when government allows a clear and present threat to the life of its people, that is genocide. Lead, mercury, arsenic, and other heavy metals will cause cancer, birth defects, chronic respiratory diseases, etc for the next hundred years. Obama, our kids mean as much to us as yours do to you.

We shall overcome. God bless West Virginia and those who love God's creation in West Virginia.
