PA Candidates: Sign the Pledge to Halt Fracking
I am a Pennsylvania Voter Against Fracking and I urge you to sign the Pledge to Halt Fracking.
I support the Pledge to Halt Fracking, and call on all candidates running for Governor or Lieutenant Governor to stand with the people of Pennsylvania in signing this pledge.
Why is this important?
Governor Corbett has allowed his friends in the fracking industry free reign to pollute our water and air, mislead the public about its practices and lobby for unconstitutional legislation. For the next governor to truly fix the problems that Corbett created, we need a statewide halt on fracking.
However, the current candidates vying for the Democratic nomination to challenge Corbett have yet to take the right position on fracking. That's why Food & Water Watch Fund has authored a Pledge to Halt Fracking, a commitment to halt any new fracking until this dangerous process is proven safe.
We need to pressure the Democratic candidates for governor — Tom Wolf, Allyson Schwartz, Rob McCord and Katie McGinty — as well as the candidates for lieutenant governor to support the only policy that will truly protect Pennsylvanians from fracking. We need a halt to fracking.
