Valley activists seek bill of rights to help towns fight fracking

THANK YOU! Patti & Julia for standing up for the rights of the people over greedy corporations and corrupt government. The only ones who wouldn't want a voice in local control are those bought and sold by the Gas & Oil industry. There is an uproar and major movement across the state, and nation, to restore local decision making and take it away from state agencies who have only one agenda, the almighty dollar and profiteering at any cost. Fracking has been 'dumbed down' and underplayed by the industry. OOGA, OOGEEP & EID are three organizations that will say anything to convince local elected officials to jump on the toxic chemical bandwagon and attempt murder on the environment... and yes, PEOPLE are part of the environment (even those who would rather call it radical environmentalism- another industry invented cliche). They have also colluded with our state legislators through hundreds of thousands of lobbying dollars to buy phony legislation such as HB 278, SB 165, HB 133 and most recently SB 315, all of which were crafted with the help of the O & G industry and grant them irrefutable rights to pillage our land and people. THANK GOD their are individuals that are standing up to them, not for profit, but because it's moral, upright and the proper action to take.
