In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

The Definitive Guide to the MYTH of Frack Water "Recycling"
This is a great blog post from Bill Huston of Binghamton, NY. He says:
Fact: You cannot make toxins "go away." We can concentrate the waste; we can separate the waste. We can transform the waste from one state into another. But we can't make it disappear from the Earth.

Now The Real Work Begins
So, President Obama has been given a second term by the electorate. Now we have our work cut out! Oppose the Keystone XL pipeline! Let's get wind and solar energy subsidized. Just a few things to do I would say. Obama won't go in this direction without enormous pressure from us.

If Romney wins, we lose, the planet loses
If Mitt Romney is elected president, expect drilling for fossil fuels to explode. The Republican challenger has promised to double the number of drilling permits issued for federal lands. And that boom would go unregulated: Romney has blasted the current administration's "effort to crimp natural gas by federal regulation of the very technology that produces it. -Rolling Stone
Here are some beautiful, valuable areas of our country that will be destroyed during a Romney presidency:
Virginia's George Washington National Forest
Montana's Blackfeet Reservation and Glacier National Park
Monterey County, California
Delaware River Basin
Wyoming's Noble Basin
North Carolina's Sand Hill
Utah's Arches and Canyonlands National Parks
Ohio's Suburbs
North Dakota's Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Florida's Everglades

We cannot afford to lose our environment and our health. We must vote Obama on Tuesday. Future generations are depending on us.
