Tell Obama: Americans support Coal-based energy

Tell Obama that his plan to "skyrocket" electricity rates and bankrupt coal companies is a no-go. We need to increase American energy production, starting with a liberal boogeyman - coal. Support the National Mining Association...

Urge Congress and President-elect Obama to boost America’s economy with clean coal technologies

"America’s mining community supports more than 1 million high-paying jobs nationwide and holds the key to helping put America on a path to renewed economic strength. To boost our economy, it is vital that Congress and President-elect Obama support projects that will help create new green energy jobs and provide U.S. manufacturers with an assured source of affordable, clean and domestic coal-based energy.

Go to Economic Stimulus Letter where you will find a letter you can edit and send to your members of Congress expressing your support for investments in new clean coal technologies that can help the U.S. emerge strong from the ongoing economic volatility.

Below is a sample letter you can edit and send to President-elect Obama urging him to support mining jobs. To submit your letter to President-elect Obama, visit this page and copy and paste the sample letter (or your own message of support for mining) into the “tell us your story” comment box.

When writing to President-elect Obama, you may wish to visit NMA’s newly created policy-makers resource web page , where you can find important facts about the positive contributions made by mining."
