To: Governor Andrew Cuomo
BAN HYDROFRACKING IN NEW YORK
We request that Governor Cuomo ban hydrofracking in New York by February 28, 2012 or a recall petition will begin for his removal from office.
Why is this important?
Radioactive, carcinogenic and toxic gas releases have occurred in all states where hydrofracking is allowed. Purposely undisclosed fracking chemicals have caused massive pollution of drinking water and deposited these poisons into wells, streams and rivers and ill-equipped wastewater treatment plants. Hydrofracking has released virulent vapors into the air and soil endangering people, animals and vegetation alike. The gas-drilling companies, who are now "legally" immune from many current US Clean Water and Air Acts, have done a good job of hiding these dangers and spent a lot of money deceiving vulnerable people to prostitute the use of their land. But now, hydrofracking victims are fighting back after getting sick, losing property value and watching their farms die off due to this insidious attack. It’ s past time to stop hydrofracking and place the well being of all living things in New York over the profits of dinosaur Big Energy.
Won't you act and help to ban hydrofracking before it becomes permissible in New York State? By signing this pettition, you are warning Governor Cuomo (and other governors) what we will do to them if they ever permit or continue to allow hydrofracking. Please sign this petition and forward it to any forward-thinking human.
