The pro-coal rally on Capital Hill and visit to Washington, DC has been set for September 15, 2010. The rally/press conference is scheduled for 10 a.m. on September 15th at a site to be announced on the hill and will feature coal state legislators and representatives from the Eastern Coal State Associations. Additionally, visits to key Congressional offices and additional media contacts will be arranged to maximize messaging and overall effect of the visit.
The MTM Coalition will be coordinating this event with the Eastern State Coal Groups, United Mine Workers, FACES, members of Congress and other business groups.
A limited number of buses and overnight lodging in Alexandria has been arranged for September 14th.
If you are interested in attending or perhaps sponsoring an additional bus from your state, your organization or your company, please contact Terry Headley at 304.342.4153 or at theadley@wvcoal.com by Friday, August 20 when we will begin to finalize plans.
