For 9 days 3 tree sitters stopped blasting on a mountain top removal site tha is adjacent to a coal slurry impoundment that is perched over top of a grade school.  It has been proven that if the dam breaks at least a 1,000 WILL die VERY quickly.

It has also been proven that the Mountain they are blowing up for coal would be more profitable to the people and the state as a wind farm.  However once Massey energy blows up this mountain the wind potential will be ruined.

Two tree sitters remain in jail on $2,500 cash-only bail, each, after stopping a blast on Coal River Mountain for nine days. CLICK HERE TO DONATE More info at http://www.climategroundzero.org.

Santa heard from his friends at United Mountain Defense that the
National Coal Corporation was blowing up the mountains and highland
watersheds of East Tennessee. Santa decided enough was enough and
delivered coal and switches to the naughty coal corporation.

I'm not expressing my personal feelings about this action publicly.
Here are the demands made of Governor Manchin today.  I'm happy with the demands..

A segment from my Senior's March to End MTR series is included in this episode of Grit TV, thanks Sam & Laura.

Rush Limbaugh tried (and failed) to buy a football team, Obama picked a fight with FOX News, and oh yeah–there’s still ongoing debate over health care reform, two wars, and a major recession. There was plenty of bad (and a little good) to debate in this week’s media coverage.

Katrina vanden Heuvel of The Nation, Joe Conason of The New York Observer, and Air America’s Sam Seder joined our media panel, discussing the best and worst of this week in journalism, pointing out the flaws and asking why the right wing always seems to make news, while the left can barely grab a headline.

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 march’s 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.

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 Power’s Kanawha Valley coal plant in Glasgow, W.Va.. In the wake of Saturday’s banner drop at the Walker CAT facility in Belle, W.Va. security and one police vehicle met the marchers as they passed AEP’s entrance.

Two young people unfurled a banner which read, “Yes, Coal is Killing West Virginia’s Communities”  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 today’s 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 “took it in  stride.” 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.

After marching for 5 miles today the seniors settled into the Universal Unitarian Church in Charleston for a fine Bus Cooked meal from Everybody's Kitchen & Seeds of Peace.  After the meal Larry Gibson kept the fire of determination lit for over an hour.  I've tried to boil it down to the core of the essential.
