Support the "Green Dozen" Illinois bills to limit the damage caused by fracking
Dear Governor Quinn, Representative Madigan and Senator Sandoval:
Fracking should be carefully regulated or banned in Illinois. We support the Green Dozen, bills to protect the citizens of Illinois against some of the most dangerous aspects of fracking like destabilization of the New Madrid fault, potential release of radioactive or hazardous debris into flood plains and aquifers which provide drinking water, and trespassing and even fracking on citizen's legally-owned personal property! We ask that you also support these bills to protect us against fracking.

Why is this important?
I am concerned that fracking wells are already being drilled in my home state of Illinois despite the fact that the Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources hasn't even issued final rules for the fracking industry in Illinois yet. These Green Dozen bills will be considered in the Illinois General Assembly this spring and very soon.
