Only Turkeys Would Eat That Turkey

WVAH TV News Transcript Nov. 18, 2004

Voiceover: “No thanks!” That’s what some Boone County people are saying to the Wives of Massey Energy tonight.

Video (of Mary Miller in a turkey mask): “Gobble, gobble, gobble…we won’t eat Massey turkey.”

A small protest outside the Sylvester Community Center this afternoon as the Massey Energy Spousal Group cooked up a turkey dinner inside. The meal was free to the community, but residents, hardened by their past coal problems and lawsuit say it won’t make up for the coal dust that’s ruined their town.

Mary Miller: “I say ‘no!’ I don’t want their turkey dinner. We want Massey to clean up the town of Sylvester. We don’t want dinner; we don’t want them buying us.”
