Fracking Ban for Maryland; Annie Bristow & Carol Smith

 http://traffic.libsyn.com/recordtalklisten/Annie_and_Carol__-_32617_3.18_PM.mp3The Fracking Ban movement in Western Maryland has been gaining momentum over the course of several years, and has culminated in legislation to Ban Fracking in the state of Maryland.  This grassroots effort faced a lot of challenges but was able to overcome them with hard and educating the public at large of the negative effects fracking would have on our area. It is never to late to get involved and this proves that the power really lies with the people. I am hoping that this episode inspires you to get involved in issues that are important to you to effect positive and long lasting change. To support Bill 1325 without amendments, call the President of the MD Senate 888-997-5380.Links to more information about Fracking: Citizen Shale     Don't Frack Maryland
