Ban fracking across the country until we have proof that it is safe. Mandate companies to disclose chemicals used

Created by P.A. on November 05, 2014

Ban fracking (hydraulic fracturing) , a practice to obtain natural gas that has not been proven safe and requires chemicals that leak into our environment that are undisclosed. I am in a state (Ohio) that has started "fracking" across the state and we have had instances of earthquakes near the sites and concerns of what chemicals are used that leak into our environment from these operations. There has not been regular jobs gained or any other benefits to the people in Ohio, only to the gas industry.We live in a state that is half republicans and half democrats. Due to the gerri-mandering that has been done here we only have 1/3 democrats representing our state in congress. This does not seem like a democracy to me. Due to large monies being spent we are not being represented fairly.
