Take Action:

Fracking is bad enough on its own. There is no reason that we should contaminate America’s water here to export cheap natural gas to other countries. Exporting gas only creates more profits for the multinational corporations that are doing the fracking, at our expense. Let’s make an impact by taking away their ability to export natural gas from fracking to other countries.

Please ask your representative to co-sponsor these bills that would limit the export of natural gas. Fill out the form below, and we’ll deliver it to your member of Congress.

via Stop the Export of Fracked Gas!
