Cuomo's Promise: from: food and water watch

Governor Cuomo was just re-elected to another term. He has yet to make a decision on fracking but there are signs he may do so soon. It is imperative that we hold Cuomo accountable to his commitment to respect the science — and the science shows that fracking is dangerous to our health and must be banned. Send a message to Governor Cuomo: Ban fracking!




I've visited fracking sites in Pennsylvania, and seen the harm that fracking can inflict on communities.

I've met families suffering from health problems and dealing with hardship brought on by fracking.

I've smelled the dirty water, and watched the endless stream of trucks carrying water, sand and chemicals.

And I've spoken with parents frightened about the health of their children. Tell Governor Cuomo to protect the health of New Yorkers by banning fracking!

Despite growing scientific evidence of fracking's harms, we're concerned that Cuomo may allow a "pilot project" in the Southern Tier. With Governor Cuomo's re-election, it's essential that we keep the drum-beat going and continue to send him the message: Not one well!


Thanks for taking action,
