SHOWDOWN IN BINGHAMTON: SIGN UP FOR THE BUS
Next Thursday, August 12th,
International Youth Day, there is a bus going from New York City to Binghamton to a hearing on Fracking, and we need YOUTH. The hearing will be from noon to five and the bus leaves Barnes and Nobles-Union Square at 8AM and is estimated to return at 11PM. This could be the final showdown for Fracking and the New York Legislature. Anyone could come, make their own sign, sign up to speak at the hearing, and get ready to make some noise in and outside the building.
Other ways to stop Fracking
now is to call Sampson, ((518) 455-2800) and tell him to vote in favor of our Water. Please do this ASAP or during working hours, to really speak with a representative.
This is the link to register for the bus, p://www.frackaction.com/content/sign-here-nyc-buses-volunteering-housing. Please tell everyone you know to try to get on the bus even if they don't know what Fracking is. Just tell them what it is and to watch Gasland on HBO.

OIL
Although many environmental groups in the Northeast are working against Fracking, and so are groups elsewhere, the environmental movement is also using the Gulf as a rallying point right now. It seems that one strategy is targeting politicians that receive contributions from oil companies. Check out this pretty funny video:
