NO FRACKING WAY!

from Michelle Gale

Hi All,

Last year, there were two fracking ban bills in the State Legislature, one in the House and one in the Senate. Neither was introduced. The pro-fracking bills were expedited.

This year, despite the fact that we’ve instigated 54 city and county resolutions against fracking in Florida, the same scenario is beginning to play out. We have to stop it.

Please make two critical calls:

1.   One to Senator Charlie Dean, chair of the Senate Committee on Environmental Preservation & Conservation, at 1.866.583.2908, to urge him to introduce SB 166 to ban fracking, and

2.   The other to Representative Steve Crisafulli, Speaker of the House, at 1.888.793.4597, to urge him to introduce HB 19 to ban fracking

A pro-fracking bill is already on its way through the house. It’s up to us to let Senator Dean and Representative Crisafulli know that the commissions that govern 45% of the Floridian population have spoken, and the ban bills must be introduced.
