from Walter Hang - Greetings:
I am shocked and extremely pleased to inform you that nearly 6,500 citizens, elected officials and environmental organizations have signed the coalition letter requesting Governor Paterson to withdraw the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (dSGEIS) for Marcellus Shale Horizontal Drilling and Hydrofracking. Our goal is now 10,000 signatories. The coalition letter has received extensive media coverage, including tv and front-page articles in the Finger Lakes, the Southern Tier and Central New York: http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20091208/NEWS01/912080356/6-000-sign-petition-asking-DEC-to-strengthen-natural-gas-drilling-regulations The governor is reportedly being deluged with emails, phone calls and faxes. Keep pushing the governor to withdraw the dSGEIS. The comment period ends 12/31/09. Urge your family, friends, colleagues and elected representatives to take immediate action. Forward this email or post our Contact the Governor page on your preferred social networking site: <http://toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale/contact_gov> http://toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale/contact_gov I have attached a Town of Ithaca Resolution supporting withdrawal of the dSGEIS. It passed unanimously Monday. The Town of Enfield unanimously adopted a revised version of the resolution. Many thanks to the honorable Rich Depaolo, Town of Ithaca Board Member and author of the excellent resolution. After you persuade everyone you know to sign the coalition letter plus email and phone Governor Paterson, you can consider trying to persuade your local City, Town or Village officials to adopt a resolution in favor of withdrawing the dSGEIS. Thanks for all your help. ONLY THREE WEEKS TO GO. POUR IT ON. NO EXCUSES. Onward and upward, Walter Hang Email Governor David A.
