[Eric Brooks]

Note that Brown released his new draft fracking rules on a Friday, which 
is a common government ploy to minimize news coverage.

  California's New Draft Fracking Rules Are BAD.
Tell Governor Brown: weak regulations won't cut It. We need a ban!

Regulations don't make fracking any safer

Dear Eric,

On Friday, Governor Brown's administration released draft fracking 
regulations. *They're a joke.* If implemented, they would allow oil and 
gas companies to frack all over our state, polluting our air and water.

Tell the Brown administration that these weak regulations are 
unacceptable --- and nothing short of a ban will protect us! 
<http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=FQA57k_eCyAlG_zxGi_9Lw>

Since fracking is exempt from nearly all of our federal protections, it 
is truly up to the state to protect millions of Californians. But the 
Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) proposed 
regulations just won't do that.

The regulations will not:

  * protect a *single child* living near fracked wells from highly
    dangerous air pollutants that increase risks of cancer and
    respiratory illness.
  * protect a*single worker *from chemical exposure.
  * protect *families* from contamination of our precious water from the
    large volume of toxic wastewater that fracking produces.
  * protect our *planet* from moving toward *climate crisis* that will
    make most of our planet uninhabitable.

Regulations don't make fracking any safer. Tell Governor Brown to Ban 
Fracking Now! 
<http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=3MVfkKusnGDD0iWwtzQhgw>

The agency in charge of the new regulations is asking for public 
comments on the new proposal. Let's beat all of the public comment 
record numbers to show that we will never let up. Submit your public 
comment today to tell Governor Brown to protect California and ban 
fracking. <http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=wiuLaIHp0ZIYulX3yoodog>

I have seen incredible opposition to fracking growing across the state. 
It's clear by the Governor's recent statements that he is aware of our 
powerful movement --- and he's on the defensive. **In the past few 
weeks, top scientists around the world have called on the Governor to 
impose an immediate halt on fracking. And Californians have been showing 
up to his public appearances to greet him with the message that climate 
leaders don't frack!*

Governor Brown is trying to rationalize his policy on fracking. But he 
is definitely feeling the heat! **We can't give him an inch --- make 
sure he gets the message today!*
