October 21, 2011 is Don’t Drill the Delaware Day!
The fight has come to the final front.  The lines are drawn.
Protect the Delaware River Watershed from pollution from toxic gas drilling. The Delaware River Basin, an intergovernmental body, is about to move forward with regulations to permit fracking.  This is a public health hazard and we cannot let this occur!
Two actions:
1) Call the Governors and President Obama TODAY and tell them Don’t Drill the Delaware, and Don’t approve ANY regulations to permit fracking!
  1. Governor Christie’s office  - 609-292-6000
  2. Governor Cuomo’s office - 518-474-8390
  3. Gov Corbett’s office – 717-787-2500
  4. Gov Markell’s Wilmington Office - 302-577-3210
  5. And the white house comment line is 202-456-1111
2) Come to the DRBC meeting!
When: October 218 am
Where: Patriots Theater at the War Memorial1 Memorial Drive Trenton, N.J.
Links to buses will be posted here.  Sign up by email @ savethedelaware@gmail.comand/or continue to check back.
The members of the DRBC – the Governors of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware and the Army Corps of Engineers as the federal representative – will decide the future of this Watershed, the Wild and Scenic Delaware River, and the water supply for over 15 million people with their action on October 21. How can they allow drilling and fracking to start with weak regulations that don’t protect our drinking water and our watersheds? We need to tell them “Don’t Drill the Delaware!”
