STOP Forced Pooling; START Protecting Individual Rights and the Environment

STOP Forced Pooling; START Protecting Individual Rights and the Environment

The Issue

The horizontal drilling bill is BAD enough.  We insist you reject Forced Pooling.  It undermines West Virginia property owners and will lead to increased horizontal hydraulic fracturing; damaging our environment in ways we have yet to discover.  Residents are already deprived their Constitutional Right to EXCLUDE others from entering upon their land.  Don't FORCE both land and mineral owners to surrender their property to private companies.  Don't FORCE property owners to take part in horizontal fracking against their will. We the people insist you support our liberties and uphold the Constitution.
