    Time Sensitive- your signature-Stop fracking here in California

    FYI: from Center for Biological Diversity
    California’s Draft Fracking Rules Among Weakest in Nation

    As oil companies gear up for a hydraulic fracturing boom in California, state regulators have proposed industry-friendly fracking regulations that would do little to protect the state’s air, water and wildlife from pollution. The Center for Biological Diversity, in comments submitted this week, is pressing officials to recognize that the draft fracking rules fail to protect the public and fall far short of legal requirements.

    In a boisterous public meeting in Los Angeles earlier this month, the Center’s Kassie Siegel told California officials that their proposal would not allow for a real assessment of the impacts of fracking, or for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The state’s proposal to exempt fracking with diesel from the state’s Underground Injection Control Program would also violate the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The federal government has already criticized California's Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources for not doing enough to protect state water from oil industry pollution.

    The Center also pointed out other fatal flaws in the draft regulations and urged state officials to replace the extraordinarily weak regulatory proposal with a simple prohibition on fracking.

    ACTIONS
    There are some timely upcoming events that you may be interested in. The Ban Fracking in California Cause, needs your immediate, and ongoing efforts. It may be easier to print out this message. It will take all of 20 minutes to make a few powerful phone calls, to save; your state, your drinking water, air, and land.

    Please continue to share the petition: I will be using it, to turn into different representatives. I already turned in 32K signatures to Assembly member Holly Mitchell at a more recent Culver City Council Meeting:
    USE THIS LINK TO SIGN:
    https://signon.org/sign/ban-fracking...39&r_by=495189

    Please call, e-mail, or write to the following representatives. They will be instrumental in voting to Ban Fracking in LA and hopefully for all of California:

    **It’s easy to call:***

    The message is simple:

    "Hi I'm a constituent. I'm calling to urge Assembly member _______________to introduce legislation to enact a Ban on fracking in California presented to them by a statewide coalition. With all the known risks of fracking nationwide, a Ban, requiring at the least, adequate independent studies is the only reasonable solution. Just like other states such as Vermont, California needs to have a Ban on Fracking in place."

    ~its key to say the "coalition bill", or "Ban" as they may be considering weaker bills, or a weaker moratorium~
