Why did Cheney make gas drilling exempt from the Clean Air and Water Acts. This is why!
Carl Stiles of Bradford County, PA passed away yesterday. He had been fighting health issues ever since finding high levels of barium and arsenic in their well water, and fought hard and suffered much in the last 2 years, has lost the fight tonight. Stiles had intestinal cancer which he blames on Chesapeake’s gas drilling. He and his wife abandoned their home last November at the urging of a toxicologist who found barium, arsenic, and VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) in Carl’s blood. Strontium, uranium and radium were found in their water. They were told to expect to get leukemia within two years. Carl did not have that long.
Your inclusion of shale gas as a panacea for all our woes in the State of the Union speech was reckless and ignorant. You will cause the death of thousands soon and millions down the road if you do not immediately stop this insane process.
There is no reason for it except greed. With a bit of patience, common sense and true concern for the well being of our people, we can follow Germany's example and get off poisonous fuels- nuclear and fossil fossil - forever.

Dear All,
Carl Stiles, who stayed with his fiance, Jude, at my house last year
after his home was contaminated, passed away yesterday. He had been
fighting health issues ever since finding high levels of barium and
arsenic in their well water, and fought hard and suffered much in the
last 2 years, has lost the fight tonight.
His widow, Jude, asked that memorial donations be made to GDAC.
I thought you would be touched.

We say BAN IT NOW!
I just want to know how these people sleep at night. How do the spokespeople for this disgraceful industry lay their head on a pillow and rest knowing they are using people are human guinea pigs. This is insanity and shows just how primitive this country actually is when we have so little regard for human life!
