WV Sierra Club Issues Action Alert

Chuck Wyrostok, the WV Sierra Club Outreach Organizer, today issued the Action Alert below. Note that two committees are meeting as early as Wednesday Feb. 23rd so calls for those elected reps should be made on Wednesday ASAP.

Marcellus Bill Advances ~ Help Keep It Moving

This is a critical time in the Legislature for moving bills to regulate
Marcellus gas drilling. Your delegates and senators need to hear from you.
They need to know that plenty of their citizens all over the state are
concerned that the “gas rush” must be done safely and responsibly.
We have already waited too long to enact adequate measures to protect the
people and the state.
The bottom line is that citizens have worked with legislators and the DEP
for two years to protect our water and we can’t wait another year with no
protection.

Please call or email your West Virginia state senators and delegate asking
them to support strong protections in the bill.  If you can do it, calling
is more effective.

You can also send messages directly to the Senators and Delegate in your
district at

Here’s the overall picture:
House Judiciary Committee and Senate Energy, Industry and Mining Committee
are both meeting tomorrow, Wednesday Feb. 23 to work on Marcellus
regulations, so it’s crucial to contact them first. House Finance Committee
will be meeting later in the week to consider Marcellus regulations.

Senate Energy, Industry and Mining Committee meeting tomorrow,
Wednesday Feb. 23 @10 AM
