1. Mountaineer's are always free!

I am from the great state of "West by God Virginia" and I applaud these good people for trying to save their
natural resources from "Big Coal Business" as usual! For far too long WV DEP has allowed the desecration of it most
prized attributes, it's clean, clear cool water and it's virgin timber, when will this stop? I'm guessing when the DEP looks around and realizes none of it's left. When will a light shine on the criminal goings on of Big Coal Business and the DEP of WV?
When will the people be able to take a drink of clear, cool mountain water and know its safe? Heck when will the people be able to talk to those they have working for them ie: Sec of DEP, without fear of being arrested because they have an opinion they would like to discuss? Last time I was home the mountain tops were riddled with strip mine operations for all the world to see. No wonder they took down the "Almost Heaven" signs.... they sure are doing their best to make it look like 7 shades of hell!! GO MOUNTAINEER'S!!
