OVEC Action Alert - February 26, 2003

NO TO RAISING THE WEIGHT LIMIT ON COAL TRUCKS RALLY, Noon, Tuesday March 4 

Two Senate committees have rammed through a bill that will raise coal truck weight limits to 120,000 pounds (with at least a 5 percent variance). We haven't much hope to stop this bill in the Senate, but we may influence the House if we have a HUGE outcry. So, we need a massive turnout at the State Capitol at noon on Tuesday. We'll meet inside the State Capitol, just outside the Governor's Office (go in the doors nearest the Governor's Mansion).

If you work in Charleston, please come to this rally during your lunch hour. If you can't make it, do you have a friend you can ask to come in your place?

In the meantime, please continue to contact your legislators and ask friends and family to do the same. We need the same HUGE public outcry-NO weight limit increase for coal trucks--as last year.

To find your legislators' numbers. fill in you zip code in the "Contact Your Legislators" form in the sidebar and click "go"

Please spread the word.
