You mention being a college student with the unknown in front of you. Hopefully fighting for the environment will at least provide a clean living space for your future. You are absolutely right that it’s time for the young people to take charge and tell these dirty corporations and the politicians they buy that we won’t tolerate their destruction any more. It’s YOUR future speak up for it! My hope is that more young people will get involved and active. In my day we protested the war in Vietnam. Fighting for the environment is your generation’s war. Thank you for your activism!

They say it is safe while highways and homes explode and flames shoot out of the spigots in people homes! Our government gives these Oil barons permits to frack on peoples’ personal land and they have no to voice in it! Since when is a persons land not their own? When was a law passed that Oil companys have the right to come on your property and set up shop to drill, using hundreds of cancer causing chemicals in their quest to find natural gas? Who makes a profit from this? Not the people who own the property! Not the government, because these companies don’t pay taxes, yet they do get subsidies. Yes, they get corporate Welfare while they decry foul that the poor in the this country don’t pay taxes.
This FRACKING MUST BE STOPPED!

Here’s to you and the other Midwest 14, Arielle.
