God bless him, indeed! Mountaintop Removal is devastating our land in Appalachian AND it takes away jobs; takes a hell of a lot less people to blow the top of a mountain off than to dig the coal out from inside of it. We lose money, jobs, and land. That so many in our region are missing the point and think we're saying that coal is bad and trying to take away people's livelihoods, well, it's just depressing. They ought to listen more carefully. We all want the same things at the end of the day.

If we only had more men in our political system like our Ken Hechler!

I wish you the best of luck. If there is anything we can do to help outside of West Virginia, please let us know.

Wow Ken Hechler, you already have 300 hits. Ill help you spread the word

Ken, you are a Great West Virginian! You serve our state so well. We miss seeing Ken in the red jeep!
Our state leaders and others behave so much like the big tobacco politicians and lobby did with the early tobacco congressional hearings. Coal harms more people than tobacco ever did. Change will come because of people such as Ken Hechler and the other brave West Virginians who are willing to get the message out to the world.

do you have the facts that tobacco harms more people than coal if so state the facts stupid lets see the facts

new study published in April's American Journal of Public Health.

The study, "Relations between Health Indicators and Residential Proximity to Coal Mining in West Virginia," found that in the 14 counties where the biggest coal mining operations are located residents reported higher rates of cardiopulmonary disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes, and lung and kidney disease.

God Bless Ken Hechler, a true West Virginia and American Hero!
