DESCRIPTION:Oil companies have quietly begun fracking California for oil -- in the Bay 
 Delta, the hills above Ventura, Kern County and the heart of Los Angeles -- 
 with plans for massive expansion at the expense of our air and water.  The 
 intensive process of fracking releases and extracts oil or gas by blasting 
 water, chemicals, and sand at high pressure into deep underground rock 
 formations, polluting water, air and accelerating climate change.\n\nA 
 deposit known as the Monterey Shale may hold 15.4 billion barrels of oil, 
 according to federal estimates, two-thirds of the nation's shale-oil 
 reserves. California -- the third-largest oil producing state last year, 
 behind Texas and North Dakota -- has oil reserves that could produce as 
 much greenhouse gas emissions as all of the tar sands flowing through the 
 Keystone XL pipeline for 40 years.\n\nThere is no safe way to frack, so 
 Food & Water Watch, together with our allies, are working throughout 
 California to achieve a statewide ban on fracking, and we need your help . 
 . . California's legislature is considering two bills, AB 1301 introduced 
 by Richard Bloom and AB 1323 introduced by Holly Mitchell, that would put 
 an end to fracking in our state. This legislation is vital to protecting 
 our state's precious water resources and farmland.\n\nPlease come to our 
 Green Sunday talk to learn why and how to stop the frack!\n\nA speaker from 
 Food and Water Watch will be making this Sunday's presentation.  See:

 series of free programs and discussions sponsored by the Green Party of 
 Alameda County. They are held on the 2nd Sunday of each month. \n
