Mr Obama listen to the science and END the violence of mountaintop removal coal mining on people. Appalachians are tired of seeing people (including kids) die of cancer for coal.
Mountaintop removal coal mining (MTR) is smothering the communities of Southern Appalachia in cancer causing coal, and silica dust. The chemical compounds from the blasting has been found in homes and garden foods. The blasting that is required (near 5 million pounds a day) to do mountaintop removal coal mining has made the communities a part of the mining sites and this is making people sick. The air quality is terrible and people are begging for your help before our mountains become uninhabitable. Please END mountaintop removal coal mining by executive order. Please understand the science. MTR KILLS TOO.
