Comments on: Welcome to Berks Gas Truth http://www.gastruth.org Saying NO to Gas Drilling in Pennsylvania Sat, 05 May 2012 17:30:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dona Pickard http://www.gastruth.org/#comment-220 Dona Pickard Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:02:05 +0000 http://www.gastruth.org/?page_id=31#comment-220 Thanks a lot for the response! Yes, we are trying to avoid the danger - but are faced with very powerful lobbies, who say that accidents are very rare and exaggerated and that Americans are all very happy that the price of gas has gone down since the beginning of shale gas extraction and that we (the activists) are Russian agents, who want to preserve the gas dependence on Russia... :( So, anyway, we'll soon ask groups around the world to sign a support letter for our actions and a petition as well, I'll let you know about that! If we can do anything specific for you, send an email!! Thanks a lot for the response!

We all need to work together on this and, in fact, we here in Pennsylvania hear from lots of groups here and in other countries who want to avoid becoming Pennsylvania. The situation is very bad here. Hi Dona!

We are getting together with Romanian, German and British activists to organize an international anti-fracking pressure group. If you think we can help each other in our common fight, as well as coordinate simultaneous events, please get in touch! Not sure if I can publish a link or an email address here, so I'll be keeping an eye on the responses here! Hi guys,

I remembered seeing your message somewhere, but I was in Phila all weekend to do a talk and couldn't remember where I'd seen when I got back online. Would it be possible to put a gastruth.org link with it? Let me know if that doesn't make sense. We're definitely more interested in getting the word out about the issues than anything else.

When it involves children and their future, it is a no-brainer, right? Here is your chance. Everything you need to do something meaningful for someone you know is right in front of you. it doesn't cost anything but a few minutes of your time. And lest you think it can wait, it can't. Twenty four hours a day, eight days a week, gas driller are pumping millions or carcinogenic chemicals into the land that is your water source and hoping they don't come back up. Guess what?
