Hello all,

    I have approached Mr Griffith through his website and Facebook account. I sent a link to our petition with the following message:

To the office of Mr. Griffith,

     The citizens of southwest virginia are struggling to pay our power bills. we have started a petition with almost 4,000 signatures. We need help to face American Electric Power, who is stealing our money. They are able to give away money to colleges, but refuse to help our people who are getting power turned off. They could freeze to death in this weather. 

Please read our petition:

With best regards, 

The People of Southwest Virginia

I Also added how many elderly and children are doing without power due to greed. We don't want a monopoly any longer!
