Dear Robert,
Marilyn Hoff recently created a petition on SignOn.org
entitled "Vote No! on SB 463"—and
we'd
like to know what you think of it.
The petition is addressed to The New Mexico State House, The
New Mexico State Senate, and Governor Susana Martinez, and
reads:
Oil and gas exploration (fracking) can pollute the land and
poison water tables. Please do not support a bill that would
deprive local communities and governments of any measure of
control or input over practices that could destroy their
quality of life.
Here's what Marilyn wrote about it:
SB 463 is a bill introduced by NM Senator Carlos Cisneros,
already assigned to the Senate Conservation Committee and
awaiting hearing, possibly as soon as this Tuesday. If enacted
into law, it would "strip cities and counties of their
abilities to pass ordinances regulating oil and gas drilling
in their jurisdictions."
Can you click to let us know what you think?
I want to sign this petition. [link

I don't think MoveOn should
support this petition. [link removed]
We'll decide whether to send this petition out to additional
MoveOn members in your area based on your feedback.
In case you haven't heard about it, SignOn.org is a new
website where anyone can start an online petition and share it
with
friends and neighbors to build support for their cause.
Thanks for all you do.
