Florida Frackers Not Giving Up

Florida Fracker Patrick Murphy

Patrick Murphy opposes fracking, but has voted to expedite liquefied natural gas exports, which critics say will lead to more fracking.  Two votes in particular benefited a company whose CEO donated $100,000 to Murphy's U.S. Senate bid seven months after the last vote. here

Florida INC. To Triple The Amount Of Toxic Chemicals Into Our Water

Florida INC. is proposing to revise its restrictions on what toxic chemicals can be discharged into surface water —  the proposed standards would triple the amount of a toxic chemical called benzene allowed to be discharged into surface waters like rivers and lakes and are meant more to entice fracking companies than keep Floridians safe. here

Floridians Defeat The Florida Frackers

Thanks to Floridians like you, communities throughout our state will be able to protect their land and water by banning fracking. Earlier today, the sponsor of the dangerous fracking bill, 
Florida Fracker Garrett Richter withdrew SB 318 from the Senate Appropriations Committee saying 
"I didn't have the votes."
Give yourselves a hand Florida. This didn't happen by accident. Thousands of Floridians from every corner of our state spoke loudly and clearly, putting daily pressure on their elected representatives in the legislature. It worked. here

Florida Frackers
Remember these guys next time you vote. here

Spineless Florida Frackers Want To Sabotage Florida’s Future

There is no reason to compromise Florida’s scarce water supplies to help Big Oil frack. If senators want to sabotage Florida’s future, there’s no better way than to pass Senate Bill 318 – a sure recipe for disaster! Voters should ask senators why they continue to ignore their constituency and vote for a bill not in 
Florida’s best interest.

 54 percent of Floridians want a ban

One senate chair limited those testifying on fracking to 30 seconds, warning not to talk about “fracking.” (Don’t bother him with facts – he’s not interested.) Many yielded their seconds to Pennsylvanians who had come to enlighten legislators on how fracking had devastated their beautiful state.

Florida Frackers Stay Out Of Hillsborough County

Florida Senate Appropriations Chair
Tom Lee’s home county has just come out against a fracking bill that will get its next hearing in that committee; on Wednesday the Hillsborough County Commission passed a resolution to oppose the bill to study and regulate hydraulic fracturing at the same time it forbids local governments from banning the drilling practice, as many have done. here
