I've been wanting to post the following post in the Activism forum but it won't let me... says it doesn't exist. If anyone manages to post there I would be grateful, here it is:

FRACKING in PA - less than 800 signatures left to go!
----------------------------------
ANYONE can sign, not just PA residents. This involves pumping poisonous waste deep underground, where it often ends up contaminating our environment and drinking water. Those water reports we've been getting from the water company every year may not be entirely truthful. Don't let them get away with fraud!
"When homeowners suspect that their water has been contaminated by drilling in their area, they can ask the DEP to check for metals, organic material and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Depositions of two DEP employees allege that the DEP tests for all contaminants, but omits some of the most dangerous contaminants in their reports to the homeowners."
Very close to reaching goal of 15,000 signatures!
