Note: While ABEC does not endorse any of the presidential candidates, we are stopping by as many campaign events as we can to spread the message of our commitment to clean.

Our third day in Ohio was extremely successful — and still extremely cold. We started the day in Athens, where former President Clinton was speaking on behalf of his wife Hillary.

The event grew a crowd of about 500-700 people. The line started extremely early and we were able to spend over an hour and a half canvassing the crowd. Our shirts, hats, and pens were a huge hit as was our discussions about clean coal.

We handed out over 150 shirts, 100 hats, over 400 pens and tons of campaign print material. We heard many different stories of people whose fathers or brothers or that they themselves worked in the mines. While their stories varied, one thing was consistent—they all supported clean coal.

We were also able to touch base with some of the local media. We dropped by Athens News before the event and were able to speak with their reporter at the event. We also stopped by the Athens Messenger and WOUB radio to talk about the clean coal mission.
