Your Signature is Needed: Stop fracking

We need your signature to help protect public lands from fracking, Friend. [Sign now!]( Picture this: a clear, quiet morning on America’s western plains. Animals scurry through the brush. A light breeze sweeps through the tall grass. But then… The ground SHAKES. Birds SCATTER in fear. SCREECHING noises pierce the air. NOXIOUS odors spew from the ground. Fracking will DESTROY our public lands, POISON communities, and DISPLACE wildlife without your help. The Department of Interior is poised to lease thousands of acres of public lands to greedy fossil fuel companies -- including critical habitat for the threatened Greater Sage-grouse. [Tell the DOI: STOP fracking from DESTROYING our public lands! Sign by 11:59 pm TONIGHT!]( [Sign the petition]( Fracking wastewater can POISON drinking water for nearby communities. To make matters worse, that wastewater can sometimes contain radioactive material! Fracking has also been known to trigger earthquakes. The process involves blasting high-pressure water into the ground, cracking the Earth, and creating instability. The DOI’s priority should be conserving public lands, keeping people healthy, and protecting wildlife. Instead, it’s about to allow greedy corporations to scar public lands, poison communities, and harm wildlife. But YOU can help stop it. [Please, Friend, we need 36 more people from your city before 11:59 pm to send a message to the DOI.
