If the public opposes fracking, but public lands are handed over to frackers, are these lands really being managed for the public good?  They can be if we take action before it's too late!  Please read and act onthis message from our good friends at Food & Water Watch. —RootsAction Team Our Land, or Their Land? Don't Let the Oil and Gas Industry Call the Shots on Public Land This Land Is Your Land Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming could be affected under new rules for fracking. Photo credit: Miranda Carter, Food & Water Watch Tell the Obama Administration: Protect our National Parks and public lands from fracking! Dear Supporter , In America, we are privileged to share in the bounty of our national parks and public lands. These national treasures should be preserved for future generations... yet the Obama Administration recently released rules for fracking on these lands — our lands. The new rules — drafted from industry's own "model legislation" — are a joke. Tell President Obama and the Bureau of Land Management to ban fracking on public lands. Fracking could damage these precious places for generations to come. To add insult to injury, the Obama Administration appears to be giving away access to the minerals on our land on the cheap: $50 per acre as opposed to the market rate of thousands of dollars per acre. President Obama should be protecting our public lands and not be allowing the oil and gas industry profit off of our public lands. Will you sign our Don't Frack Public Lands petition today? The proposed rules are open for public comment until August 23rd. Take action today, and we'll add your name to the Don't Frack Public Lands petition to President Obama and submit a public comment on your behalf.
