Your Signature is Needed: Lease sale includes CEMETERY

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Stop Big Oil from drilling near a CEMETERY on public lands! [Act now!]( Friend, the Department of Interior is poised to lease HUNDREDS of acres of public lands in New Mexico and Oklahoma to Big Oil. If we don’t stop the sale, these lands could be DESTROYED by fracking or oil drilling. The ground will SHAKE, terrified animals will SCATTER, and the natural landscapes will be STAINED with pollution! One area included in the sale contains a cemetery! Big Oil belongs nowhere near our precious public lands, let alone the places where our deceased family and friends rest. But there are only a FEW DAYS LEFT to act before the comment period closes and we lose the opportunity to stop this sale! [Please, Friend, stop this lease sale in New Mexico and Oklahoma before it’s too late! >>]( 387 MORE SIGNATURES NEEDED FROM YOUR STATE BY MIDNIGHT [SIGN THE PETITION]( People living on or near public lands could face serious health impacts from this lease sale. Fracking and oil drilling both produce toxic pollution that endangers nearby communities. Some of the side effects that have been reported include coughing fits, dizziness, nausea, and blistering headaches! Fracking in particular only gets scarier the more you learn about it. In some cases, it can TRIGGER EARTHQUAKES and the wastewater it produces can contain RADIOACTIVE WASTE that contaminates local drinking water! It’s not too late, Friend – but we are running out of time. Your immediate action can help prevent fossil fuel destruction on our public lands, including near a cemetery!
