Uphold your responsibility to us, our health, and our drinking water: direct the EPA to reopen investigations into the dangers of fracking. It's time to face the science.
Why is this important?
Over the past year, the Obama Administration has ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to shut down one fracking-related water contamination investigation after another.
When early results of investigations in Dimock, Pennsylvania, Parker County, Texas and Pavillion, Wyoming showed that the EPA had evidence linking gas drilling and fracking operations to groundwater contamination, your administration chose to "see no evil" and abandon the investigations -- and the communities suffering the impacts of oil and gas development as a result.
We want to remind President Obama that he represents the American people, not the oil and gas industry.
