Coal Supporters Plan Washington Rally on Sept. 15. By Bill Archer, Bluefield Daily Telegraph, August 22, 2010. "The Eastern Coal Council is in the process of organizing a rally for coal industry supporters willing to travel to the nation's capitol for a pro-coal rally on Capitol Hill on Sept. 15. Jack Richardson, chairman of the council, sent an e-blast message to several organizations that support the coal industry and asked them to join the coal council at the rally… In his e-mail message, Richardson said the coal council plans to charter buses to transport people from several coalfield locations to Washington… [Richardson wrote] 'We must provide our friends and allies with the knowledge and facts to effectively counter the negative assault on coal mining by extremist organizations.'"
