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.
