No Fracking Way!

No Fracking Way!

Update:   Fracking Blowout Causes Massive Spill in Pennsylania 

Fracking is a chemical pressure method of extracting natural gas from rock deep underground.

 
Fracking is done by gas and oil companies in over 40 states in the United States.
 
Fracking uses over 450 different chemicals, many of which are carcinogenics.
 
Fracking is not regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency because there was a loophole created by Dick Cheney to favor his Halliburton friends so they could extract natural gas with no regulations.
 
Fracking makes people sick, lose their hair, pass out, and get cancer.
 
Fracking does this to children.
 
Fracking does this to adults.
 
Fracking does this to animals.
 
Fracking causes toxic chemicals to invade watersheds and aquafers resulting in water from faucets
that can catch on fire.
 
Fracking in its current unregulated state is immoral.
 
Fracking exists only for the financial gain of gas and oil company owners.
 
Fracking is occurring in IOWA and Illinois…in Pennsylvania…in Missouri…in West Virginia and so on…
 
Please rent “GASLAND” by Josh Fox.  This movie which won a special documentary award by the Sundance Film Festival, shows the devastation caused by fracking.
 
In 1966 people were dying in New York City because of air pollution. This was before the Clean Air Act.
 
Regulations are good.  Regulations are necessary.  Regulations are life saving.
 
Does your water catch on fire? Please help make sure it doesn't.

Go to www.democracyforamerica.com to sign the petition asking Congressional members to approve the FRAC Act which will repeal the loophole that currently lets Halliburton not disclose the chemicals it uses in fracking.
 
Thank you.

    EVERYONE should see “Gasland”, an extraordinaryly well done documentary by Josh Fox.
    The content is more than horrible and we should all mount an effort to stop this terrible practice nationwide.
    I seems insane to engage in such a devastating practice to gain “cheap” energy.
    Humans and animals alike are severely affected by fracking with the long-term consequences not even known.
