Legislators could do the right thing and pass legislation without action, but we know how hopeless that is.

We only have four days left to put the
essential pieces in place for a major campaign to shut the door on fracking in
Massachusetts.
If experience in other states is any guide,
drilling companies are going to give it everything they’ve got to protect their
chance to frack here. If we’re going to win, we need to stand together. I hope
you’ll consider making a special year-end gift today. Together, we can protect
Massachusetts from fracking.

It seems simple enough. We need to shut the
door on fracking in Massachusetts.
You and I already know what fracking could
mean for Massachusetts. Scenic landscapes transformed into industrial zones.
Clean drinking water polluted with cancer-causing chemicals. Families made sick.
If this is what drilling has done to other
states, why on Earth would we allow it here in
Massachusetts?
Western Massachusetts could become a target for drillers, and it’s time we shut the door on the possibility of fracking. That’s why I need to know:
Our Environment Massachusetts team has put together a major campaign to keep our air, water and landscapes safe from the drillers--the same ones that have already wreaked so much havoc in Pennsylvania and other states across the nation.
To turn our 2014 plan into action, we need to raise $90,000 before the end of the year.
Your financial support will enable us to:

Your financial support will enable us to:
- Ramp up our organizing in the at-risk communities and areas in Western Massachusetts;
- Collect at least 5,000 petition signatures from Bay Staters calling on our lawmakers to keep fracking out of Massachusetts;
- Pass a bill through the Legislature to stop this irreparable environmental disaster from coming to our state.
With your help, we can close the door on fracking--and lock it.
Home to family farms, the Connecticut River and clean drinking water, the Pioneer Valley is one of the most pristine and picturesque places in Massachusetts. Incredibly, this is where drilling could happen.
In Pennsylvania, we’ve seen families living in the shadow of gas drilling face explosions mere feet from their doorsteps, polluted tap water, toxic fumes in the air.
And now they want to put our landscapes, our drinking water and our communities’ health in the path of this rolling environmental disaster.
Not on our watch. But we need to act quickly.
This is a classic David v. Goliath battle, and we can’t win without you on our side.
Thank you for standing with us to protect our air, our water and our landscapes from the dangers of fracking.
Sincerely,

P.S. Dirty drilling has trampled landscapes
and sickened families in Pennsylvania, but Massachusetts still hasn't decided to
shut the door on fracking. We’re gearing up to finally end these threats in
2014. Forward this message to your friends, family and coworkers to help us
gather the support we need to win.
