Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had strong words about West Virginia's politicians, and its press, in this Public Broadcasting interview.
The environmental lawyer and son of Bobby Kennedy also spoke to The Charleston Gazette during his three-day visit to the state. Kennedy was filming mountaintop removal mining sites for the upcoming adaptation of his 2004 book, Crimes Against Nature.
RFK Jr.'s trip follows that of country music's Kathy Mattea, a Mountain State native, to the southern coalfields. Both the Gazette and Public Broadcasting (with audio) were among those who covered her tour of mountaintop removal mining sites.

Glad to see that RFK Jr. was back in WV this week drawing attention to this very important issue!
There is a growing movement to Draft RFK jr. to run for the Presidency in 2008. I think that he is the only man who, if elected, would make putting a stop to mountaintop removal a top priority.
Anybody who is interested can learn more at our website, http://RFKin2008.com (as well as the other excellent sites listed above).
If you support Bobby, please SIGN THE DRAFT PETITION which we will forward to Mr. Kennedy.
