Protect the Waters of Life: Fracking Insanity and national ban on fracking petition

The Oil Boys are attempting to implement their fracking practices everywhere. Ohio, New Mexico, Alberta, Vermont, New York, to name only a few places that are either in lawsuits against this practice or actively passing laws to prohibit fracking. If you have any type of gas or oil, they want it, and they do not give a frack about contamination to the Waters of Life. 


Vermont's anti-fracking bill recently passed. Mora County, New Mexico recently passed their Bill of Rights banning fracking, and has a plethora of information to educate yourself about the hazardous chemicals and dangers of the fracturing process. While these are a few successes, these fracking Oil Boys are filing lawsuits, influencing local and national politicians to oppress the People's voice of resistance and are popping up all over the northern hemisphere of Turtle Island, in attempts to get their way. However Ohio is taking the lead of resistance, while Pennsylvania has some real problems with their water due to fracking in their state.

The word of resistance is getting out. An Ohio anti-fracking activist talked about the what and whys of anti-fracking, was recently broadcast live on OPN: Other Possibilities Network and this broadcast can be seen again in their channel archive.  In addition to this, the Ohio people, Common Dreams and 350.org are organizing one of the largest anti-fracking actions in Ohio from June 14th to 17th.
