Concealing the truth about fracking.....

Please join with others speaking out against censoring research showing the adverse effects of fracking by adding your name below:

From Environmental Action,


Tell the EPA to quit protecting frackersYou won't believe what the EPA is covering up now. The agency has already covered up reports on fracking in Wyoming, Texas, and Pennsylvania to protect the polluters, not the planet. A new story in EnergyWire suggests why: they have been under political pressure to cover up fracking's danger to our planet, and to our health.*

The EPA needs our help to stand up to that pressure and do its job. That's why
I will be standing with members of all three affected communities next Wednesday at EPA Headquarters and the White House. Click here to add your name, and I will deliver it in person.





Environmental Action members demanded Gina McCarthy be confirmed to head the EPA because we believed she would take strong action to protect our environment, as she has in the past. Sign here to tell McCarthy to stand up to frackers and politicians alike by reinstating the research that proves fracking is bad for our water, land and air.

Shocking reports show that EPA research proved that fracking was contaminating people's drinking water, even rendering it flammable. But when the research looked bad for frackers, the EPA didn't pull the plug on drilling, it pulled the plug on the research**.

Thanks to courageous whistleblowers at EPA, we now know the agency has been sweeping its own research on fracking under the rug and putting the health of families and our environment at risk. We have already gone to the EPA office in Philly to thank the whistleblowers and speak out against censorship. Now we need to get the message to the head of the EPA. McCarthy wasn't head of the EPA when this happened, but McCarthy inherited the scandal and needs to address it.

Censorship of fracking studies has already happened in Parker County, Texas, Pavillion, Wyo., and now, in the town of Dimock in my home state of Pennsylvania. You might recognize that name, because it's near where Josh Fox of Gasland I and II lives. Well if the EPA wanted to cover up research proving that fracking contaminates drinking water, they picked the wrong town in the wrong state to do it. But we need your help to make sure this scandal gets attention from the most powerful people at EPA and the White House. Click here to tell the EPA to reopen their investigations into contamination of water by fracking.

**Fracking EPA Censorship: 3 times is a tradition, Jesse Bacon, Environmental Action Blog, August 7th 2013


Tell the EPA to stop blocking fracking investigations


Fracking censoredThey are not protecting us. Over the past year, the Environmental Protection Agency has repeatedly shut down its own fracking-related water contamination investigations after being pressured by the oil and gas industry.

We knew that fracking has contaminated water from Pennsylvania to Wyoming, and thanks to EPA whistleblowers, now we know the EPA knew it too. So now they need to reopen their investigation into this dangerous and dirty drilling practice and stand with the people and the planet hurt by fracking.

Please fill out the form below and edit the message with your own story of what water you hold dear. We'll deliver your messages to the new EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and President Obama to make sure the EPA does its job to protect all of us.
