toxic gas drilling must be banned
by Maria Ensign Sunday, Jul. 05, 2009 at 1:18 PM

I found this on the Cleveland Indymedia site. It's about a New York City pol who is trying to cut deals with a few NIMBY homeowners and the gas industry. Seems they're even deploying a crappy egomaniacal film-maker, Josh Fox, who is defending sell-outs like this guy (Councilmember James Gennaro) (his film is REALLY bad!)

These people have it straight! Taking on fake "environmental" organizations and their sleazy political allies who compromise with the extremism of the gas industry.

I hope OGAP, the NRDC, and Senator Casey get real about supporting gas drilling that is devastating rural america and stealing people's land through eminent domain!

The flyer at the end of this thread is particularly cool.

But the discussion is enlightening too!
