				<p>The best chance you have to change Massey Energy's policies is:</p><p>Check with your mutual funds, make certain Massey Energy isn't one of the holdings. If your mutual fund invests in Utilities, <strong>chances are that Massey is using some of your retirement capital to do this.</strong></p><p>Ask for a comparable fund WITHOUT Massey energy and move your money. Tell the broker/fund why.</p><p>It doesn't take too many of these phone calls and fund moves to impact a company's stock price and cost of capital.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

				<p>I'll say this.&nbsp;</p><p>I've never seen a resident protesting against MTR perpetrate an act of physical violence, even though the pro-coal people&nbsp;refer to them as environazis and terrorists.&nbsp;</p><p>I have witnessed repeatedly now physical assaults on peaceful demonstration participants who are attempting to protect their homes and lives.&nbsp; People have had their faces smashed in, I have witnessed pro-coal people attempt to run citizens off the road, jump out of trucks to attack, gun their trucks up behind them, heard threatening phone calls, all types of physical and psychological abuse and intimidation.</p><p>Yet media always portrays&nbsp;citizens attempting to protect their health and environment as a threat to society.&nbsp; I'd feel a lot safer with a Judy Bonds to my back than the disgruntled mine workers I've seen, hands down, any day.&nbsp; Is this&nbsp;culture&nbsp;of coal anything&nbsp;perpetuate?&nbsp; Perpetration of violence and oppression against those who dare to reach out for something better that does not destroy our homes, land, air, water, health, and communities?&nbsp;</p><p>It will be interesting to see who's&nbsp;served justice on this one - how and how much.&nbsp;</p><p>Take note.&nbsp; People ARE watching.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
