Petition Text
Tell Jim Clinton, Mayor; Jodie Barram, Mayor Pro Tem; Mark Capell, Victor Chudowsky, Doug Knight, Scott Ramsay and Sally Russel, that it is time to ban fracking in Bend Oregon, Deschutes County.
Why is this important?
Governor Cuomo of New York has declared a statewide ban on fracking. Local citizen-led initiatives have helped ban fracking in Mendocino and San Benito counties in California; Athens, Ohio; Mora, New Mexico; and Denton, Texas. Communities across the United States and world are saying NO to this environmentally disastrous method of extracting fossil fuels from the land. It is time for City Council, Jim Clinton, Mayor, Jodie Barram, Mayor Pro Tem, Mark Capell, Victor Chudowsky, Doug Knight, Scott Ramsay and Sally Russel to take action and ban fracking in Bend Oregon.
