We just found out about this. If you guys want to organize something, I can see if coalfield groups want to plug into it.

Subject: Re: Bush at Greenbrier
next Thursday to Speak about Coal
Last year at the CTL Conference (http://www.clean-coal.info/drupal/2007ctlconference)
Bill Price from Environmental Justice was involved with putting together an
organized protest that included a fly-over. Maybe he already has put
together something for the annual Coal Conference. I am adding him to
this thread.
Interesting to note that the interim President of WVU will be a speaker, too,
along with Bush, but no real surprise.
