Damage Control

I feel Sierra Club and other environmentalist organizations should pool their resources and start making TV commercials of their own. This is a powerful medium and coal corporations know it.

The legal assault should also be pursued but augmented by commercials that depict the destruction of contued use of coal, Co2 & MTR.

The Ad run by Walker/Cat also on utube is being run in the Kentucky West Virginia market area. It's a little green bug on a court bench telling everybody that he can come back to a valley fill after the reclamation is done. Insults the intelligence of everybody but the demographic area the ad is targeting.

I would love to see an ad showing all the little animals crying with bags packed and leaving the valley as it is being covered up.

How about the one where bambi don't get shot but a big ol D-9 Caterpillar Dozer is covering him up with the overburden from a Mountain Top Removal.

They have their Public Relations people cranked up down here in all types of media. Especially the print media. They seem to target the nation as a whole in the visual media. Its going to be an expensive media to counter them in but necessary.

Right now they have an exclusive megaphone and are blitzing the airways. Someone needs to mount a challenge to this psychological assault on the national coinsciousness. They are being lured into a suggestive trance that it will be ok to replace oil with coal as our main energy source.

Powerfull Medium and we have failed to take effective advantage of it to get our message out. Sometimes one's intelligence prevents us from getting down on this level but the situation warrants it. Especially when you consider what's at stake.

The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.

Smokin' Kools

David, I'm sure you could write a great parody script. Something like,

Announcer: At a third the cost of most other fuels!!

(Kool & the Gang grinds to a halt)

Announcer: Uh, unless it has to comply with Clean Air laws. And mining safety and destroyed mountaintops. And global warming.

(Kool & the Gang starts up again)

Announcer: Now we're talking more expensive than most other fuels -- even solar!!

Good News From Kentucky, Maybe

Ralley in Frankfort Ky. the capitoll. It was to support a house bill 164 to stop valley fills. More specific covering up streams, but it will have the same effect to stop MTR or at least slow it down. If the rest of the state legislature's can override the legislatures from the coal counties it may have a chance. A Sierra Club rep was there and I believe they had KFTC setting up rooms to lobby the rep in. Good day, good turn out about 1000 I hear.

Lets keep our fingers crossed.
