BlankThe proposed PATH power line would be an "interstate highway" to ship even more Mountaintop Removal coal from the Ohio Valley to east coast cities. We have a unique opportunity and a short window of time to have the application for this unnecessary monstrosity dismissed by the WV Public Service Commission.
NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We need you to write a short letter (one sentence will do) and send it - by fax, if possible, because speed is important! - to the PSC and copy them to our new governor, Earl Ray Tomblin. (Addresses/fax numbers below.)
You CAN'T just say you're against PATH (that's kind of a given, you know?), you need to tie it to the PSC staff's motion to dismiss the PATH application. ALWAYS include the case number. Something like:
RE: Case No. 09-0770-E-CN - Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline (PATH)
I urge the members of the Public Service Commission to accept the recommendation of its staff that the PATH application should be dismissed.
[Then sign your name, including your address.]
Here's where to send it:
Ms. Sandra Squire Executive Secretary Public Service Commission of West Virginia 201 Brooks Street Charleston, West Virginia 25301 Fax: 304-340-0325
cc: The Hon. Earl Ray Tomblin Office of the Governor 1900 Kanawha Blvd E Charleston, WV 25305 Phone: (304) 558-2000 Fax: (304) 342-7025
You can email the governor using this link: http://www.governor.wv.gov/Pages/contact.aspx. Just copy and paste it into your browser.
Thanks, everyone! Our efforts are making a difference in this fight, and we need you to help keep it going!
