Fracking in Oklahoma is causing man-made earthquakes and countless other problems.

To inform our elected officials that we do not support PennEast and do not want it to take our land!

Home owners are experiencing major and minor damage to homes, property and business. Corporate profits should not come at the expense of state citizens.

According to Oklahoma government records, the current rate of earthquakes is 600 times the historical average. The Oklahoma Geological Survey has concluded the phenomenon has been caused by waste water wells associated with drilling for oil and gas. Current legislation protects the industry and endangers the people of Oklahoma, our water, and our land.

This petition is to stop fracking--and end the resulting earthquakes- in Oklahoma. I have experienced one such earthquake and it was no fun. It caused cracks throughout the walls in my home. The earthquakes can be stopped simply by halting fracking, and the legislature should lead the way.

Fracking has already caused serious damage to our public lands, particularly in the areas that serve to buffer America’s most precious national parks and monuments. By the end of 2014, oil and gas companies had leases on over 34 million acres of public land, and over 200 million more acres are currently being targeted for drilling.

 No amount of regulation will protect us or our public lands from the impacts of fracking. Regulated fracking still results in harm to people's health, accidental spills of toxic waste, air pollution, earthquakes, drinking water contamination, habitat destruction and worsening climate change. The only way to protect ourselves and our land from the risks of fracking is to ban it altogether. Preventing fracking on federal lands is essential to safeguarding our drinking water and public and environmental health, as well as iconic places in American history and culture. It is also essential in any serious proposal to address global warming.

 Representative Mark Pocan (WI-2) recently re-introduced his legislation to ban fracking on all public lands — and it remains the strongest piece of federal legislation against fracking to date. Please ask your members of Congress to support and co-sponsor the bill to ban fracking on public lands.

We are having daily earthquakes in Oklahoma caused by fracking. This must stop.

The letter attacking Dr. Oz is not from the Columbia faculty. It's from ten physicians, all of whom have industry ties. What it's really about is that the industry is furious that he has taken on genetically modified crops. So you basically have industry henchmen who are after Dr. Oz here. One of them in fact, the head of the American Council on Science and Health, spent some time in federal prison for Medicaid fraud. These groups are called "astroturf groups." That is, they appear to be grassroots groups representing real consumers, but, in fact, they are the henchmen of industry here, and that's what you're looking at with this letter. The media often gets swept up by this; they say, "this is a great story." They get swept up by it, they report it, but they don't look at who wrote that letter.

California is in a severe crippling drought. Instead of building a dirty oil pipeline from Canada to Texas, that will only benefit billionaires while destroying our air, water and environment, let's build a CLEAN water pipeline from the water logged states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, etc. to California. The farmlands here feed the nation. This will provide jobs, food and water for the fertile lands of California.

The Friedman Memorial Airport Authority (FMAA) Board is in the process of considering alternatives to their Master Plan which include expanding the airport outside of its current boundary and moving Highway 75 closer to homes—also setting the stage for larger, more intrusive, projects. Future projects are not necessary, and if approved by the FMAA board, projects such as Alternative 7, 5, and 4, would negatively impact the residents of Hailey, Bellevue, and those living in the Bellevue Triangle with increased noise and air pollution. Specifically and of immediate concern, within the draft of FMAA's Master Plan which is currently under consideration is Alternative 7. Alternative 7 would allow airport expansion outside of its current boundary in order to build more aircraft parking spaces, relocate Highway 75 further to the east and closer to the homes and bicycle trail in Hailey's Woodside subdivision, and sets the "basis for future facility configuration planning and subsequent chapters of [the] master plan." FMAA's support of Alternative 7 is being presented as solving the issues caused by the 2014 and 2015 projects which relocated the taxiway. However, by allowing Alternative 7 to be included in the Master Plan the floodgate for future expansion projects will open which will have the effect of delaying, perhaps stopping, airport relocation. If Alternative 7 is accepted into FMAA's Master Plan, other alternatives like Alternative 4 and Alternative 5 could see a resurgence in consideration. Alternative 4 calls for the ranch land between Bellevue and the Airport (west of Highway 75) to be annexed into airport property and relocates the entire runway to this parcel; Alternative 4 poses the very real threat of condemning Bellevue's Chantrelle neighborhood due to intolerable decibel levels caused by aircraft. Alternative 5 would expand the current runway further south into a portion of this same ranch land in order to accommodate a longer runway/larger aircraft. The construction projects of 2014 and 2015 are nearly finished and, once completed this Fall, will have addressed the concerns of the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). Now is the time for the citizens of the Wood River Valley to speak up and insist on a fundamental shift in decision making regarding the future of Friedman Memorial Airport. What with Friedman Memorial Airport on the verge of appeasing the FAA with the completion of taxiway, terminal, and air operations building projects--the inadequacies which still plague this airport (lack of parking, the poorly placed control tower, length of runway too short for large jets, etc) must be used as reasons for relocation—not as reasons for additional investment. By signing this petition, you agree that future changes (especially Alternative 7) to Friedman Memorial Airport are not necessary and would be contrary to moving this airport to a new location. You agree that Friedman Memorial Airport must stay within its current boundary and, synonymously, that Alternative 7 be kept out of Friedman Memorial Airport's Master Plan. Please sign this petition and tell the Friedman Memorial Airport Authority Board, the Blaine County Commissioners, and the City of Hailey, that you do not want Friedman Memorial Airport to expand outside of its current boundary.

I remember some of the best times of my childhood were spent swimming and hiking at our state parks. Now our state is considering closing them. I want to preserve them so that future generations can enjoy nature as I have.

I do not believe that state land should be sold and used as a limestone mining place.
