For more than 40 years high oil prices have adversely affected the United States and the rest of the World. One simple policy can change that. And its NOT, "DRILL BABY DRILL".

Fracking threatens our water, our air, our farms, and our health—and contributes to global warming.

Storm Mountain Express has been treated unfairly and discriminated against at the Yampa Valley Regional Airport. SME is not allowed to transport passengers without restrictions. No walkup reservations. The impacts include passenger quality of services, passenger safety and passenger experiences.

The Sequester has caused the closing of all Federal Parks. The facilities are closed, but people still visit. When Nature calls, the woods are the only place to go.

My neighbors have filed false complaints for 17 years with many agencies including; The Sheriff, the rubbish company, building and safety, animal control, humane society, public works, planning, and more. They have on average made a complaint every month to an agency. While unfounded the agencies still must waste valuable resources in the validation or refuting of the complaintant. By the very nature of each complaint the agency goes to the victims home and goes through the home and property. This violates privacy and constitutional protections. In my case the parties which persecute me have been able to traipse through this grey area of the law and use the law and the agencies to harass me.

We—and our mother Earth—feel like a character in an Agatha Christie's novel, being gradually poisoned by a greedy villain. However, we do not need Hercule Poirot to reveal the identity of this killer! Or do we?

fracking is bad for the environment and it contaminates our water supply.

We don't need more pollution. Stop fracking before it kills us.

Fracking threatens our water, our air, our farms, and our health—and it contributes to global warming.

My brother lives in southern Illinois and has conveyed to me his deep concern about the use of a method of oil extraction that will ultimately cause horrible environmental harm. It's clear that there will be scant and ineffective oversight over this profitable business venture for investors who will not be affected by this deplorable practice. HOWEVER, THE CITIZENS OF ILLINOIS WILL INEVITABLY SUFFER THE RESULTS OF TAINTED WATER TABLES! WE MUST CARE ENOUGH FOROUR "LAND OF LINCOLN" TO STOP THIS PRACTICE BEFORE IT BEGINS! IF NOTHING ELSE, THINK OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, AS WELL AS THE FISH IN THE STREAMS AND ALL OF THE OTHER CREATURES WHO DEPEND UPON CLEAN WATER!

Please publicly support a fracking ban in California.
