Rep. Gooch on Good Morning America
State Rep. Jim Gooch was on Good Morning America on Sunday speaking out against global warming and making Kentuckians look backwards and anti-science. Is this really the most qualified person we have to chair our House Natural Resources committee (which all environmental policy bills must go through)?

If you agree with us that this whole ordeal reflects badly on Kentucky, and you want state leadership that respects science, rather than ignoring it, please consider taking the following action steps:
Contact your legislator expressing concern about Rep. Gooch's leadership on environmental issues and urging support for policies that protect our environment. Better yet, contact KFTC and we'll help set up a meeting with your legislator for you and other KFTC members to express these views and to ask him/her to support legislation addressing mountaintop removal mining and other KFTC priorities.
Call the legislative message line (1-800-372-7181) and leave a message for Speaker of the House Rep. Jody Richards. Tell him that we need honest and courageous leadership to speak out against the abuses of the coal industry, one who will promote and respect honest debate about real issues, not propaganda.
Support KFTC financially, especially now during our Fall Fundraising Campaign, to help continue KFTC's work on these important issues. Donate online or respond to the fall fundraising appeal we just sent out.
Plan to come (in a carpool) to the I Love Mountains Rally and Lobby Day on February 14 in Frankfort.
