Ask EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to See Mountaintop Removal in Person

I pledge to...

Mountaintop removal depends on financing from America's leading banks and approval from government regulators. You've shown Chase, the biggest bank funding mountaintop removal, how strong our movement has become and now it is time to <a href="http://ga3.org/campaign/epafly/">ask the government to get involved</a>.<br /><br />I've started a petition asking Lisa Jackson, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, to visit Appalachia and see the destruction caused by mountaintop removal mining herself.<br /><br />Please <a href="http://ga3.org/campaign/epafly/">sign the petition</a>, ask your friends to sign, and spread the word that we're taking our demands to the federal government in Washington.&nbsp;<br /><br />Lisa Jackson has never seen mountaintop removal mining herself and she is the single person with the most influence over the Obama administration's mountaintop removal policy.&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>Every week, mountaintop removal mining uses more explosive power than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima</strong> and I believe that if Lisa Jackson saw that kind of destruction with her own eyes, saw how this horrific practice is ravaging the people, water and land of Appalachia, she would feel compelled to do everything she could to stop it.&nbsp;<br /><br />You've been an inspiration to me and now I hope you will <a href="http://ga3.org/campaign/epafly/">sign the petition and help inspire EPA administrator Lisa Jackson to do the right thing</a> and help us end mountaintop removal mining forever.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thank you,&nbsp;<br /><br />Scott Parkin<br />Global Finance Campaign&nbsp;<br />Rainforest Action Network
