</font></font><b><i><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial">"It's bad, it's really bad. We've always had gas drilling, but people don't realize this is really different and really dangerous. Houses are exploding, and people can't drink their water. We have to educate people and get them to take action." </font></span></font></i></b><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial"><br>
<br>
That's what my friend Stephanie, who lives in the heart of fracking country in Pennsylvania, had to say about hydraulic fracturing in her community. We're working to ban fracking not only in the communities that are most affected, but also at the national level. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Gg8tQ0Aa4frTTi9rzxfzCaWyBnawdBhQ">Will you join our effort to stop this dangerous practice?</a></font></span></font><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: medium;"><font face="Arial"><br>
<br>
Stephanie can't wait. There are new reports of fracking-related accidents every day, and recently a fracking well near her community exploded, spewing thousands of gallons of contaminated water onto nearby farms and into waterways. <br>
<br>
We're building the grassroots movement against fracking, working with people in their communities to pass local ordinances, state legislation and federal legislation. We were the first national group to call for a federal ban on fracking, and we've got boots on the ground in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Colorado and other states where fracking is threatening people's food, water and livelihoods. We need to raise $10,000 by May 6th to launch our new effort to ban fracking. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=5NW3fYpP1rMyrYo2xYR33qWyBnawdBhQ">Can you contribute to stop fracking?</a><br>
<br>
</font></span></font><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here's the plan:<br>
<br>
► We need $4,000 to gather 40,000 petition signatures to support a ban on fracking, which will be delivered to local, state and federal elected officials.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br>
<br>
►We need $3,000 to send organizers to help key communities pass local ordinances against fracking.<br>
<br>
►We need $2,000 to distribute hundreds of action toolkits to folks like you who can gather actions in their local community and work to pass local ordinances.<br>
<br>
</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">►We need $1,000 to pay for 100 seats on buses to get our supporters to rallies, lobby meetings </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">and upcoming press conferences in the states that are most affected (the first one is next Monday in New York!).<br>
<br>
</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To launch this plan, w</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">e need to raise the money for this campaign by May 6th. Can you contribute today?<br>
