Reply from Congressman Barney Frank:
Thank you for contacting me urging that I cosponsor H.R. 1310, the Clean Water Protection Act introduced by my colleague, Congressman Frank Pallone. I agree with you that we should prevent coal mining waste from being dumped in mountain streams, waterways, and other areas where it could endanger the environment (a step that will also help curtail the practice of mountaintop removal mining).
I am an original cosponsor of this important bill, and I will urge my colleagues to join me in supporting it.

My grandfather was a coal miner and died young.
The air was dirty. I remember his clothes always being dirty.
Coal mining, coal burning is a relic from the past that needs to be phased out.
This makes me respect Congressman Frank for his stance on the environment.
