Would anyone like to meet me in Lewisburg or White Sulfur tomorrow? We can
talk to police, put up fliers, find out things, etc...
I can do all this by myself, but I know there are fomers around Lewisburg
who might help if they can.
And as for a message, I would like to be more blunt. I've seen some
wonderful signs at coal river that are just begging to be held up (though
some of the best are Massey specific...)
What is the message/sound bite/sign text? Seems like "Coal Stinks" might
not be quite right.
"Blowin in the Wind"
"Here Comes the Sun"
Energy Forecast: Sunny and Windy"
uh....

I know there will be a good handful of MJers at the festival, and I'll bet
you ten dollars we can recruit more rabblerousers...
Are there already plans in the works that we could coordinate with?

Interesting. Maybe we should make some fliers that could be printed and
brought to clifftop and maybe hung up in coffeeshops etc. at Greenbrier cty.
Is there anyway we could find out where people interested in going should
meet up and where a safe place to park and stand would be? As I recall, the
Amtrak station is basically right across from the Greenbrier, so that would
be a decent launching spot, any thoughts? They have a gatekeeper there, so
I doubt they will let anyone on the grounds or anywhere near where the
FOCers will be but a highway presence would be nice to have anyway and maybe
Bush will drive by and his security agents will see the signs.
