May 8, 2014. "It's time to say NO once and for all to coal exports." —Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber
To show the Governor we stand with him, last night we lit up the Oregon State Capitol with NO COAL EXPORT. Show you stand with the Governor and post this image to his Facebook page.
Also, share this image with your friends! Suggested Facebook post: Coal export is not a part of Oregon’s future. I agree with you, Governor Kitzhaber, that it is time to say NO to coal exports. I fully support a permit denial, this May, of Ambre Energy’s coal export proposal on the Columbia River. Join me in sharing and posting this image to Governor Kitzhaber’s page!
The Governor has made his position clear and even set a timeline for the decision, the end of May. This is fantastic! Not surprisingly, Ambre Energy is pushing back. They went as far as disputing Tribal fishing locations on the Columbia River. This on top of claims that their dirty coal proposal would not harm Columbia River fisheries.
Show you stand with the Governor and post this image to his Facebook page today!
