We should all be enraged by the injustice of being hammered by the fracking industry and the Legislature. This Legislature has simply turned its back on the citizens of Kansas. We are experiencing living in a state where the rights, property values, and fears of citizens in the fracking zones are ignored. Why? Because you and I are not as important to the Legislature as the fracking industry. I am one of the victims of these earthquakes. My house has $14,000 worth of damage so far! My basement floor is cracked, my foundation has slipped, my walls are cracked and it is getting worse with every new quake. I got one side of my foundation repaired but I am not repairing anything else. As long as the quakes are still happening I won't keep throwing my hard earned money at repairs though there is still much more left to fix. The Kansas Corporation Commission has the power to fix this problem. Any comments you leave will go to straight to Commissioners Apple, Albrecht & Emler and to Governor Brownback.

I am one of approximately 20 million people who live within a 50 mile radius of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. Having a 42 inch natural gas pipeline run within 105 feet of Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is a recipe for disaster. The possibility of a gas pipeline rupture within 105 feet of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is not a risk that our elected officials should ask us to take.

SandRidge Energy wants to start fracking near Rio Rancho City Limits. While the Sandoval County Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend rejection of the SandRidge Energy permit, we still need the Commission to reject SandRidge altogether and adopt stringent legislation to preserve our water and air! The toxic results of using hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas have led to the contamination of drinking water, earthquakes and dangerous explosions in states across the country. In order to protect our essential water resources, we need our county officials to enact an immediate moratorium on any oil/gas drilling.

Thousands of Americans have called on Michigan Gov. Snyder to release all relevant information about what happened in Flint -- but he's still hiding information. And what's more, this week the emergency manager who exposed thousands of people to poisoned water skipped out on testifying before Congress about what happened. It's clear we need to step up the pressure. Demand an independent Congressional investigation today. Flint’s unelected, state-appointed “emergency manager” switched Flint’s water supply to the Flint River, which corroded their pipes and contaminated people's water with lead. And for over two years, children and families were drinking that poisoned water. Nation-wide outcry has been critical to our efforts to learn how this happened, and who should be held accountable. But with more and more reasons to doubt that Gov. Snyder is telling us the whole truth -- we need to take our efforts to the next level. Congress must create an independent, select committee with a mandate to subpoena all relevant records, require the appearance at public hearings of every public official or private citizen involved in this debacle, and issue a full report on its findings. We must determine who knew what and when they knew it, how we can avoid other crises like this, and who should be held accountable. The public’s faith in government at any level depends on transparency and accountability; public servants -- elected, appointed, or hired -- owe the people of Flint the full truth without further delay. Add your name now and demand an independent investigation into the water crisis in Flint.

Our petition is about making a difference in this heroin epidemic. We are a grass roots group called the "Wayne County Heroin Prevention Task Force", and we are committed to helping not only our community, but making waves across our whole country, which will hopefully help in the future to lower our country's recidivism rates in our criminal justice systems, lower our overdose rates and help turn this sad chapter around into a brighter future.

We have protected approximately 100,000 Acres in about 75 Counties over the last 20 Years from willing sellers! This will come to an abrupt halt should the Governor's Budget succeed.

Last year the U.S. Forest Service approved the Big Thorne timber sale in the Tongass National Forest—the largest, most destructive old-growth clear-cutting project in more than 20 years. Earthjustice is in court today fighting to stop Big Thorne, but if we don’t act soon the Forest Service could approve a forest plan for the Tongass that would allow more large-scale old-growth timber sales just like it for another decade or more, instead of the quick end to old-growth logging in the Tongass promised by the administration in 2010. We can save the Tongass rainforest—but we need your urgent help now to tell agency officials they should quickly bring an end to destructive and controversial large-scale old-growth logging. The Tongass is one of the few remaining old-growth temperate rainforests in the world, and America’s largest national forest. Towering stands of 700-year-old trees provide vital habitat for countless species, including the Alexander Archipelago wolf. An ancient, carbon-rich forest, the Tongass helps to moderate global climate change. Delegates to the Paris climate talks agreed that protecting the Earth’s forests is one of the most important means of curbing the damaging effects of climate change. Protecting Tongass old-growth is an essential step the United States must take to meet the climate imperative coming out of the Paris talks. A stronghold for all five species of Pacific salmon, the Tongass supports a thriving fishing industry as well as a booming tourism industry, as people from across the country visit to enjoy its world-class recreation, hunting and sport and commercial fishing opportunities. The communities of southeast Alaska depend on the bounty of the Tongass and its lands and waters for subsistence practices, recreation and livelihoods. Take action now to protect the Tongass National Forest and reject old-growth logging.

While I understand Senator Jones' desire to promote the tourism, I spent nearly 30 years of my professional life protecting the natural environment in eastern Kentucky including the unique ecosystems found at Bad Branch Falls Nature Preserve, the Hensley-Pine Mountain Wildlife Management Area, and Pine Mountain. This proposal is short-sighted, politically expedient, and demonstrates a total lack of concern for the unique natural resources of the Commonwealth. PLEASE CONTACT your representatives in the General Assembly to stop SN 102. PLEASE CONTACT take the time to contact Senator Jones, Capital Annex: 502-564-2470, Work: 606-432-5777, Re-elect Ray Jones Facebook Page: https://m.facebook.com/SenatorRayJones/photos/a.1630837650519962.1073741825.1630836383853422/1630837660519961/

Western Environmental Law Center is a nonprofit, public-interest environmental law firm. Our expert attorneys are ready to use the full power of the law and the courts to protect wolves. In December 2015 we won a case (Cascadia Wildlands v. Woodruff) that prohibits Wildlife Services from killing Washington’s wolves. Join us in extending these protections to wolves in Oregon!

Last year, elevated levels of highly toxic lead were found in more than 3100 young children in New Jersey, yet every year of his administration Governor Christie has raided New Jersey's Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund in order to balance the budget; and this has had devastating consequences. According to newly released data, 11 New Jersey municipalities, including Newark, Jersey City and Trenton, were found to have a higher percentage of children affected by lead poisoning than Flint, MI, where lead in the drinking water has become a national story. There is no safe level of lead in children. In New Jersey, exposure to lead comes primarily from paint in old homes. And without funding for lead poisoning prevention and abatement, thousands more of New Jersey's children, especially in low-income and minority communities, will continue to suffer permanent damage. Governor Christie will announce his 2017 spending plan on February 16, and we need to ensure that lead poisoning prevention is included in his budget. Despite being entirely preventable, lead poisoning has devastating consequences for the children and communities affected. New Jersey can and will do better than this.

As parents, we do all we can to keep our kids healthy. And we rely on our government to make sure we have access to essentials like clean water. That shouldn't change depending on what color we are, our income level, or where we live. That's why we're beyond mad about the lead contamination of drinking water in Flint, Michigan. Earlier this month Governor Snyder finally declared a state of emergency in Flint, OVER A YEAR AND A HALF after the problem began. Residents are now being told to use water filters and/or bottled water, and no one knows how many of the city's almost 100,000 residents have been affected by lead, and to what degree. What we do know is that ingesting high amounts of lead can have devastating and log-term effects on children, the elderly, and the sick. Current estimates are that it could take as much as $1.5 billion to fix the problem. Would officials have ever been so careless about the drinking water if over 50% of Flint's residents weren't black, and over 40% live below the poverty line, making Flint one of the most impoverished cities of its size in the US? The appointment of an emergency manager in Flint, one of several Black cities across the state to have their elected officials replaced by an appointee from the Governor, is at the center of this crisis. We must do better. Join us in speaking out, on behalf of families and parents in Flint.

This is about JUSTICE for the low-income and communities of color who have borne the Lions' share of ENVIRONMENTAL degradation which has contributed to chronic diseases, destruction of communities, and loss of economic opportunity.
