This is a follow up on Meteor Blade's OT last night on the dire situation in West Virginia. People are still without potable water, and many without the funds to buy it. The West Virginia Clean Water Hub has a FB page to coordinate the distribution of clean water to those who need it.
Please follow below the twisted rain drop to read how they're doing, and how we can help.

Got an e-mail this morning from "Keep The Ban" about a meeting with EPA over the coal ash leak in Eden, NC that has polluted the Dan River and environs, including drinking water of municipalities downstream.

It's been diaried a fair amount here on the GOS. There are more, I only searched "coal ash" to point to the diaries for those who may be unaware.

Meeting info below the orange water bottle:

The short and the bitter of it is:

On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a version of the Farm Bill that includes language that would be disastrous for all National Forests : Section 8204.
This section of the Farm Bill would repeal the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to allow logging projects up to 3,000 acres in size to be implemented on National Forests without any environmental analysis of harmful effects to water quality, wildlife or rare, threatened or endangered species.

Once Upon A Time, life was good in Harriman Tennessee. Oh sure, there were some bad air days, but sometimes a young couple would sit on the swing, courtin' and sparkin'.... After a day's work, sometimes mom and pop would sit out in the evening light, gently swinging, holding hands and sharing their stories of the day.
No more. Disaster has come to Harriman, and life will never be the same. This swing will not be used again.

It's a big thing. Omnibus. Your help is needed.

For all the diaries on Climate Change, we rarely see the very base of Carbon Sequestration mentioned. Trees. Big, mature trees. Intact forest.

Here's a bill that is extremely important, yet virtually overshadowed by the all powerful Technology.

It's S. 3213, and it needs our help! This is what we're talking about.

As opposed to this.

What do we want our country to look like?

Well, it's rule breaking time again. I promise I will stop tomorrow. I hope.

But as I scanned the FP, I suddenly wondered at my lack of knowledge about what happened in his race was a black hole in my joy.

One of the hallmarks and harms of the Bush Administration has been to eliminate or weaken our most bedrock laws. NEPA, or the National Environmental Policy Act is one that has been attacked on a number of fronts, usually in relation to forests and BLM land, so that Corporate interests won't have to fuss with Environmental Assessments or Impact Statements.
And SYFP. Can't have the Rabble whining over the Commons to the detriment of profit! Slash that comment period until there is no chance that there will be time to find out about anything, much less write a "substantive comment".

They're at it again, this time, it's the Oceans. The lie is out there, via Faux News that over 70% of 'murkins want them to drill offshore. While no one is looking, they're trying to make it as easy as possible. Full speed ahead, and damn the spills............

How many candidates ask for money, and break down their projected expenses for you to see?

Wowza!

If this is your first time creating a Diary since the Ajax upgrade, before you enter any text below, please press Ctrl-F5 and then hold down the Shift Key and press your browser's Reload button to refresh its cache with the new script files.

It was. I did. I thought for a minute I might have to use a dog paw for part of that.
But it's done, and I'm browsing diaries (please, slap me upside the head if I comment in a candidate diary) and have opened the bottle of wine.
Will I be smashed by the time the debate starts?

"The Forest Service dropped sacks full of rattlesnakes into the Crawfish!

From helicopters!"

Everybody on the Board of Supervisors and half the people in the room gasped. The Forest Service person stood up, said that they had not!!!!!!, never happened!!!!!, then sat back down again.

I grinned. And told them that I knew that was not true, but it was a fine example of a myth that many people take as fact. Like they believe that you can't fight fires in Wilderness Areas.

Ride up the trail with me, in to these woods, and I'll tell you all about it.
