Citizens Arrested in Governor Joe Manchin's Office
Rescind mining permits on Coal River Mountain ~ October 19, 2009 Dear Governor Manchin, As residents of West Virginiaâs Coal River Valley we write you to declare a state of emergency. Coal River Mountain is our last mountain untouched by mountaintop removal and it is in imminent danger of blasting. This would not only threaten our communities, it would also destroy our chance to have permanent jobs and renewable energy through ridge-top wind power. You have the power to rescind these permits. At any moment, Massey Energy could blast part of the Bee Tree site, on the containing ridge of the Brushy Fork sludge impoundment.

The Senior Citizens March to End Mountaintop Removal ended in a protest and press conference at Massey subsidiary Mammoth Coal Company on US-60, east of Cedar Grove, at 4:00 p.m. on Oct, 12th. Mammoth Coal Company is 25 miles from the marchâs starting point at the state capitol in Charleston. At least 28 seniors between the ages of 50 and 88 put their feet to the pavement during the 25 mile walk, including Larry Gibson of Kayford Mountain and Jesse Johnson of the Mountain Party. The march ended peacefully with no arrests or conflicts. Baffled by this the army of corporate media teams were then forced to interview the elders about why the had marched and coverage was seen on every local TV station in Charleston. the 5 day march's 5 video playlist is here http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=EEA07AE3D69276F9 Distributed by Tubemogul.
Thirteen marchers, ages 53 to 88, walked the fourth five-mile stretch of their journey to the gates of Massey-owned Mammoth Coal Company Sunday. The route took them past American Electric Powerâs Kanawha Valley coal plant in Glasgow, W.Va.. In the wake of Saturdayâs banner drop at the Walker CAT facility in Belle, W.Va. security and one police vehicle met the marchers as they passed AEPâs entrance. http://ToddBurge.com Distributed by Tubemogul.
Two young people unfurled a banner which read, âYes, Coal is Killing West Virginiaâs Communitiesâ off of the Walker CAT building in Belle, W.Va. Saturday afternoon. The youth are affiliated with Climate Ground Zero and say they acted in autonomous solidarity with the Senior Citizens March to End Mountaintop Removal, are affiliated with Climate Ground Zero. The marchers passed the Walker CAT building on todayâs route. The March received its first physical harassment today. At 2:00 p.m. a driver threw a cup of water on Micklem, who says he âtook it in stride.â The march has attracted both support and derision from passerbys. Marchers who so choose still plan to commit an act of non-violent civil disobedience to protest mountaintop removal at the conclusion of the march at Mammoth Coal Company on Monday afternoon. http://mattea.com Distributed by Tubemogul.
