Hello Mar Vista.
Please read this...
Reality Campaign supporter John Wathen took a photo of the effects of December's coal ash spill in TN. Help grow the movement to debunk the myth of "clean" coal. Ask your friends to join Reality today.

You may have already heard that one of the worst potential environmental disasters in US history occurred over the holidays in Eastern Tennessee; more than one billion gallons of toxic coal waste spilled out of a containment pond destroying homes, polluting water sources and covering hundreds of acres of land.

And what was the coal industry doing at the time? Recruiting people to spread the news about "clean" coal.

That's right, a coal industry front group is recruiting for a "Blogger Brigade" to get people to help push the coal industry's talking points online.

The coal interests are clearly gearing up now that they've seen how successful we've been at bringing reality to the conversations on so-called "clean" coal. Which is why we need folks like you to keep up the pressure now more than ever. Please help us grow the movement by clicking here and inviting your friends to join the Reality Campaign. We're thousands of voices right now -- we need to be hundreds of thousands.

Right before the holidays, we asked you to respond to a coal front-group's guest opinion article in the Tuscon Citizen. Thanks to your efforts, the article received the second-highest number of comments in the entire paper that week. AND, we got our own opinion piece published a few days later. That's real impact.

Ask your friends to join the fight, click here.

Thanks,

Brian Hardwick
