Frack Free United: URGENT ACTION: Let's Ban ALL Forms Of Fracking For Good

As editor of this Web Log (blog) I forward the below, even though Steve at FFU via ActionNetwork.org <contactus@frackfreeunited.co.uk> does not seem to recognise that slower readers find it very difficult to read so much within just 3 minutes.

I am such a slower reader, but consider however long it takes me to forward this edit -- with relevant Google search tags added -- a useful investment of my time in helping save Planet Earth.

Subject: URGENT ACTION: Let's Ban ALL Forms Of Fracking For Good

Please spare 3 mins to read this email. Urgent Action. Ask your candidates to sign the Frack Free United Election Pledge. We must BAN all types of fracking definitions and techniques to protect communities from the companies 'Flouting the rules' Why? Just days before the general election, the Conservative Government placed a moratorium on 'fracking' in England. Make no mistake, this is is a massive win in our campaign and together we have dealt a serious blow to the ambitions of the onshore fossil fuels industry. But, there are still many questions to be answered on the definition of fracking and if the moratorium covers other extreme extraction techniques such as ACID stimulation. You would think that the definition of fracking is simple, consistent and without constraints... Think again. The devil is in the definition detail...Check out why, click here. This is why we must keep on the pressure and ask this question of ALL our politicians from ALL parties - "Will you call for an immediate BAN of fracking AND all onshore unconventional oil and gas exploration and production, including coal bed methane and acid stimulation?" Please contact your parliamentary candidates and ASK THEM TO CLICK HERE AND SIGN OUR FRACK FREE PLEDGE. ... So far, over 100 candidates already signed up, and we have 2.8% Conservative Party, 4.7% Independent/Other, 15.9% Labour Party, 30.8% Green Party and 45.8% Liberal Democrats. We have produced an election leaflet (Click here) and please get in touch if you or your candidate would like some leaflets to hand out. When we started the FFU project in early 2016, our plan was to change the policy of the major parties and together we must celebrate how far we have all come, united in our cause. Make no mistake… This grassroots campaign has grown into a movement that has inspired the world and has impacted energy geopolitics. It's amazing how far we have come... now let's finish the job. Best regards Steve and the team #VoteFrackFree Our pledge to you. It is our intention to keep setting the agenda and continue to put pressure on the government to halt all forms of fracking. We will continue to work tirelessly push our message to everyone who can make a difference in our communities. If you can help please do. No matter how big or small the gift, every penny will go into campaign efforts and will help us to get our message out. PLEASE DONATE HERE [Personally, as a very poor pensioner, I'm not in a position to donate money to 'good causes'. I do recall though that donating one's time as in my forwarding this item via blog post can be helpful.]
