You won't believe it, but the following is a postcard sent out by the Independent Oil & Gas Association of New York, fracking lobbyists, to push for gas drilling in the State of New York.
And they'll probably get their nasty little way too, because New Yorkers are not as outraged about this issue as they should be. We've already seen in Wisconsin what happens when those of us on the left aren't mobilized against the insidious campaigns of the right-wing in this country. And it's happening all over again in New York with this issue. Believe me, corporate gas money will make it virtually impossible for Cuomo to resist opening up the state to fracking.
And it's our state's naturally resources that will be all fracked up if we allow this to happen.
Be sure to sign the Working Families Party's petition to Governor Cuomo today!

It's totally fracked up. The dems and republicans are both in bed with corporate interests. Fracking is inevitable in NY. Say goodby to your state's natural resources now.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's a way to combat the big companies who want New York's resources. It's only a matter of time before other sources are depleted. When that happens, gas companies will come looking with renewed, more desperate interest. The world might have to come to a breaking point before any real change is made, or rather, forced by necessity.
