President Obama's energy policy relies on greater use of natural gas in quantities
that can only be obtained through fracking. His team has been listening to insiders
with ties to big oil and gas companies, but its time he heard from you that fracking
is not the answer. Make a call and join the movement to ban fracking!

Today is our National Day of Action to Ban Fracking. President Obama once said, "The
achievements of the past were possible because ordinary Americans demanded them."
With your help, and the help of more than 600 volunteers on the ground, we're
letting President Obama know that ordinary Americans want him to take a stand for
clean water.

President Obama has the power to guide our country's energy policy. He needs to make
a choice: will we depend on technologies that destroy our water and communities, or
will we move toward a new, clean energy future? Help him make the right choice by
calling the White House today!

Fracking or hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of huge volumes of toxic
fluids laced with carcinogens underground at high pressures to fracture shale rock
and release natural gas. Much of the wastewater is toxic - and even radioactive -
and remains below the surface where it can migrate into aquifers. Hydrofracking is
largely exempt from federal environmental laws and the entire process is exempt from
the Safe Drinking Water Act.

Take part in our National Day of Action to Ban Fracking by calling the White House
today!

Make a call for clean water today (888-498-2945):
