Please add your name to protect the future of our national treasures!


Protect our wild places from fracking!
Take action!
Take action!

Thanks to activists like you, the White House and the Department of Interior have been flooded with 31,000 messages to protect our national parks, forests, and monuments from fracking! The comment period for these weak proposed regulations ends in August, and we need to send a strong message that our wild places and communities must be protected from the dangers fo fracking. Will you help us send 10,000 more letters by Wednesday?

It's easy! Simply forward this email to five of your friends and family or use the handy share buttons to post on Facebook and Twitter.

Dear Friends,

Surrounded by the oil and gas boom in North Dakota's Bakkan shale, Theodore Roosevelt National Park is plagued by drilling just beyond the park's borders. As you approach, it is impossible to escape the signs of fracking -- roads destroyed by truck traffic to fracking wells, retention ponds filled with mystery fluids, and flares from drilling rigs lighting the once dark night sky.

In 1883, Theodore Roosevelt traveled to North Dakota, hoping to hunt buffalo. But instead of wild plains and herds of bison, he encountered overgrazed lands and a nearly extinct bison population. These ravaged lands inspired President Roosevelt to establish the national parks system.

When President Roosevelt encountered destruction like this, he was moved to protect these special places, and now the torch is passed to us. Will you help protect our national parks from the dangers of fracking?

Tell the Department of Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and President Obama we cannot allow fracking to continue to threaten our nation's special places.

The fracking industry has its eye on our national forests and monuments, too. From George Washington National Forest in Virginia to Desolation Canyon in Utah, the natural gas industry wants a free pass to drill as much as they want without taking responsibility for the consequences. Fortunately, we have a chance to stop this. The Bureau of Land Management is accepting comments about their proposed rules, and it is up to us send a strong message that our wild places must be protected.

Send your letter today to Secretary Jewell and President Obama telling them to protect our national parks, forests, and monuments from fracking.

The magnificent views from our national parks, forests or, monuments should not be marred by drilling rigs and air pollution. The streams, rivers, and aquifers that feed these areas should not poisoned by toxic chemicals. And our special places should not be threatened by climate pollution from the fossil fuel industry.

Will you take action today to protect our country's special places?
