Call your Representative today - (202) 225-3121

Description:
Capitol Switchboard (202) 225-3121 Today, 125 volunteers from more than 20 states are in our nation's capital as part of iLoveMountain's 3rd Annual Mountaintop Removal Week in Washington. They are meeting with members of Congress and asking them to co-sponsor the Clean Water Protection Act (H.R. 2169) and to take action to stop mountaintop removal coal mining. Can you take a moment today to support the efforts of our volunteers in Washington? By calling your Representative in Congress today, you can help make the case that now is the time for Congress to begin taking action to stop mountaintop removal coal mining. - - Footage graciously provided by Parson Brown Productions
