Appalachian Voices on Rachel Maddow

Rachel Maddow mentioned our work to expose FACES of Coal earlier tonight [below]. Please also check out DeSmogBlog, Jeff Biggers, and ThinkProgress who are breaking and building upon this story as we speak. Meanwhile, Josh Nelson at enviroknow brings the heat to Bonner and Associates, who are trying to scapegoat a single temp employee for their Congressional forgeries. Looks like they have a lot of explaining to do…

Apologies for not being able to improve the size of the video with MSNBC embeds. Enjoy, and please email the show to tell them THANK YOU for covering coal industry astroturfing and mountaintop removal coal-mining.
