Gas Drilling?
Who REALLY Wins? Who REALLY Loses?

- JOIN US! if you are concerned about the wanton carelessness of a drilling industry that reneges on its promises to communities while it spills and contaminates across the country!
- JOIN US! if you think the tax payer will be left to live with TOXIC WASTE, AIR & WATER POLLUTION, ILLNESS.
- JOIN US! if you are concerned that while A VERY FEW will profit, THE REST OF US will lose our way of life and be in debt for the mess the drillers will leave us!
- JOIN US! if you are concerned that our County Board of Supervisors supports drilling – WITHOUT HEARING BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE!
- JOIN US! to demand that time be allotted for Delaware County Citizens to be heard at all Delaware County Supervisors’ meetings!
- JOIN US! if you want your voice to be heard.
There will be a microphone & loudspeaker available.

I am a resident of Halcottsville, Middletown much in favor or banning drilling in my area. Please advise as to how I can help this cause.

Hi, Martin,
I’d say the first thing you can do is sign every anti-fracking petition you can find. I wish I had a list up here, but most of the petitions I had listed were for a moratorium in New York for this year. It got passed, so we see that petitions do have some effect. You may have to do some poking around on Google to find more timely relevant petitions.
Another thing you can do is write to letters to the editor of local (and other) publications. These do make a difference, and they raise awareness.
One more thing is to write your local and state officials.
You can get more information on all of those things at some of the sites that are listed in the right-hand sidebar of this blog, near the bottom. One great resource is http://un-naturalgas.org/weblog/.
If there is a group in your area (I don’t know of any off-hand, but I’m sure there must be one), joining it and going to meetings will be about the best way to keep informed.
You can also join google or yahoo groups (formerly called “listserves”).
Thanks for joining in the good fight.
All the best,
Brian
