Dear legislator,
This petition states that I am a resident and voter in Tennessee who cares about protecting our mountains and ensuring that we leave Tennessee a better place for our children and grandchildren.
I urge you to support legislation that will ban the dangerous practice of mountain removal coal mining.
Tennessee doesn't need mountain top removal coal mining in order to provide good jobs, economic development, or affordable electricity.
Today, I ask you to support the bipartisan Tennessee Scenic Vistas Act which will end mountain top removal mining in Tennessee.
I started this because I was worried about our ridges but I never imagined so many people would feel the same way. The messages you are leaving are honestly overwhelming and they show that this isn't just one person worrying but a real community coming together. I have been spending my evenings trying to figure out the best way to get these notes in front of the right people.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about our mountains as much as I do. Seeing this kind of momentum is entirely thanks to your willingness to step up and speak out. I truly did not expect such a response.

Ridiculous that this is even happening. Keep our air and water clean, save the mountains.

There are better ways to get energy. Stop blowing up our hillsides for a quick buck.
