More news from activist groups fighting mountaintop removal coal mining …
Film star Ashley Judd has teamed up with the Sierra Club, with a new personal letter, video and online "take action," urging President Barack Obama to step in and "protect the mountains, streams and people of Appalachia."
"I grew up in Eastern Kentucky, and like so many Appalachians, just seeing our beautiful mountains and valleys tells me I am home," Judd said in the letter. "Our mountains are our heritage and our legacy to future generations. But big coal companies are using explosives to literally blow the tops off mountains, extract the coal and destroy Appalachia."
