Protect our health, air and water by NATIONALLY banning Gas Fracking!

Greetings,

I just signed the following petition addressed to: Barack Obama.

----------------
Protect our health, air and water by NATIONALLY banning Gas Fracking!

Studies continuously show that Horizontal Fracking contaminates our air, water and land. Water treatment plants are unequipped to remove the high levels of radiation, benzene, lead and up to 750 other hazardous chemicals within the fracking waste water.

The fracking waste fluids are either injected into Class 2 injection wells or dumped by the plants directly into our rivers, lakes, and streams. Many wells are not monitored for leakage nor rated for hazardous waste disposal. Both methods irreversibly contaminate ground water, our LAST clean source of drinking water!

Please protect we the people and our future generations. Ban Horizontal Fracking until it has been PROVEN safe.


----------------

Sincerely,

[Your name]
