<p style="margin: 0em 0em 1em;"><font face="Arial" size="2">Dear Judy,</font></p>
<p style="margin: 0em 0em 1em;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><img src="" alt="" align="right" border="1" hspace="10" vspace="10">This week hundreds of activists are in Washington, D.C. taking action to end mountaintop-removal coal mining. <b>You can be part of the action by picking up the phone and calling your representatives tomorrow, March 9, for the national call-in day to end mountaintop removal.</b><br>
<br>
Mountaintop-removal coal mining is one of the most outrageous environmental and social-justice transgressions in America today, threatening the biodiversity and human communities of Appalachia. <b>More than 500 mountains, 1.5 million acres of forest, and 2,000 miles of stream have already been annihilated by this practice.</b> <br>
<br>
The deep pockets of Big Coal are working hard in Washington to block a bill called the Clean Water Protection Act that would undo the political loopholes that currently make it legal for coal corporations to blow up mountains and then dump the wastes directly into streams. <br>
<br>
<b>Please call your representatives tomorrow, March 9 and ask them to become cosponsors of the Clean Water Protection Act, H.R. 1310.</b> If they're already a sponsor, ask that they actively work to promote this bill and to ban mountaintop removal.<br>
