Beyond Coal movement to hold a rally Wednesday night
The University of Kentucky's Beyond Coal movement will hold a rally Wednesday to ask UK to cut ties with the coal industry, according to The Lexington Herald-Leader. The group is asking UK to remove the coal industry from sponsorships, the same way the university rejects sponsorships from alcohol and tobacco companies.

Would love for out-of-state politicans and organizations to keep their nose out of UK athletics' fund-raising projects/policies.

If you listen to some "outsiders," grand power states (NY?) would be better off if Commonwealth of Kentucky would just dry up & blow away.

These folks say if UK can outlaw advertising alcohol & tobacco, it can do same to coal. Well, Mr New York, how about you getting rid of A&T?

Of course, we'll see some media in Lexington backing such a rally. Maybe they should be reminded of coal money spent in Lexington economy.

Rally scheduled to pressure UK Athletics to cut ties with coal industryMaybe our friends & families working in coal fields might want to stage a weekend boycott of Lexington to illustrate its effect to media.
