Take The Pledge - Sign an Agreement to NOT lease your land! Sign an agreement not to lease your land for natural gas drilling using High Volume Horizontal Hydrofracture. Support Two Important Bills in Congress Tell Congress to Support The Frac Act The FRAC Act will close the "Haliburton loophole" and protect our drinking water. Support The Endocrine Disruption Prevention Act This federal legislation will fund a study of endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDC's. These toxic chemicals are routinely used in fracking fluids, and are suspected of contributing to a whole host of health issues including learning disabilities, testicular cancer, and breast cancer. You can learn more about the toxic chemicals used in every phase of natural gas extraction at The Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX).

Send a fax to Senate Majority Sampson telling him we want the legislature to vote! Call (518-455-2788) and FAX the senator and let him know you expect him to bring the moratorium bill to a vote. The DEC's plan for drilling in the Marcellus is hopelessly flawed. Ask Governor Paterson to withdraw the SGEIS. Tell Paterson to Remove Grannis!
