Don’t Frack Ohio

Mark Ruffalo to Speak at Anti-Fracking Rally, June 17, Columbus, Ohio

By Duncan Meisel

Mark Ruffalo is someone worth listening to—and not just because he’s known to occasionally turn into a giant green rage-monster.

He’s also deeply involved in the growing national movement against the dangerous gas drilling technique hydrofracking (AKA fracking)—a fight he’s taking to Ohio. The organization he helped found, Water Defense, is joining us in supporting a big action against fracking called Don’t Frack Ohio, which is happening in the statehouse in Columbus on June 17.

Mark just recorded this great video to invite you to join the action because Ohio is a critical state to make a stand—Gov. John Kasich is putting together an energy plan that would gag doctors from talking about fracking related illness, while imposing fewer taxes and creating bigger safety loopholes than just about any other state in the nation. Shutting down Ohio’s fracking wastewater disposal wells will put a big dent in the industry’s ability to expand drilling elsewhere. And a strong, visible anti-fracking movement will help make an impression on our presidential candidates campaign in Ohio this fall.

Here’s why Mark is so excited to about this action—and why I hope you’ll join us:

[Warren Stupidity]

1. This is how they stop Big Gummint interfering in everybody's bidness.

[MadHound]

2. I think that would be a slam dunk of a court case.

Violation of the First Amendment and such.

[salin]

3. More of the GOPs war on just about everybody.

Hope the word spreads!

4. PA has already put this type of law on the books.

[enough]

5. Following our lead in Pennsylvania. I don't understand why there isn't much outcry about this.

It so flagrantly puts the corporate bottom line ahead of the welfare of the population.
