{Political_Views} Fwd: Call T. Boone's bluff

Last month we challenged T. Boone Pickens to prove his claim that fracking is safe by disclosing the chemicals he used while "personally fracking over 3,000" wells.  He still hasn't disclosed what chemicals are used, but his spokesman responded, "Boone has publicly supported the disclosure of chemicals used in fracking operations." Well, if that's the case, why doesn't he just tell us what chemicals he uses? Next week DFA members in Dallas will deliver our petition demanding that T. Boone voluntarily comply with the FRAC Act. Make sure your name is included! Fracking is a risky process to extract oil and gas that uses hundreds of proprietary chemicals and has been reported to release radioactive elements. Thanks to Dick Cheney's Halliburton loophole, oil companies are largely unregulated and don't even have to disclose the hundreds of chemicals they use to frack. T. Boone and the oil companies claim fracking is safe, but for the millions of Americans who rely on drinking water that could be contaminated with fracking chemicals, their claim isn't enough. We need proof.  Add your name now and tell T. Boone that he needs to back up his claim and disclose the chemicals. Clearly T. Boone Pickens is more concerned about his bottom line than keeping America's drinking water safe. He'll say anything to convince the public and Congress that fracking is harmless. Call T. Boone's bluff.
