Ban Fracking in Santa Maria, CA

The Santa Maria City Council voted to allow fracking and other high intensity oil drilling methods in every park and open space in the city. Don't let Santa Maria become yet another ghost town decimated by fracking.

Why is this important?

We don't have to guess what happens to towns that are taken over by big oil. We know. The air is contaminated, the people get sick, earthquakes increase tenfold, and those who can't afford to move find they can't give away their homes. As a home owner in Santa Maria, I don't want to see this happen in my town.
