Dear Supporter,

With mounting evidence that fracking for natural gas is poisoning our air and water, and a national movement against fracking that continues to grow, why is Congress poised to commit us to an energy policy that will encourage even more fracking? Take action to protect our water from the dangers of fracking! (https://action.foodandwaterwatch.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=7047)

Today is a big day for Food & Water Watch and our supporters. We are releasing our newest report, The Case for a Ban on Gas Fracking, which highlights why natural gas drilling poses unacceptable risks to the American public. Extensive research shows how the natural gas industry’s use of water-intensive, dirty and unregulated methods of extracting natural gas are compromising public health and polluting our water. Will you take action to make sure Congress doesn't spend $5 billion in public money to subsidize an industry that abuses our precious water resources?
