Subject: Outdoor screening of Gasland

Hello All,

I am writing to make you aware of an event being held this Friday in Frick
Park that focuses on issues related to Marcellus Shale gas drilling. This is
a hot topic in the State and in local government.  There will be an outdoor
screening of the movie GASLAND, an independent film produced by Josh Fox on
the topic in Frick Park.

Marcellus Shale gas drilling has significant impacts on community health,
safety and the environment.  Many landowners in the City and surrounding
communities have already signed or are being asked to sign leases to allow
drilling on their property.  The decisions being made by individual
landowners impact all of us in terms of the wear and tear on roadways from
heavy truck traffic, air and water pollution, noise pollution, property
value and the presence of toxic chemicals held in fracking ponds at the
drill sites.   

On a statewide level, there is currently a push by the gas company
consortium to have the PA legislature pass forced pooling legislation that
would take away the rights of individual landowners to decide about whether
they do or do not want drilling on their land.

Whether you are for or against drilling, the issues associated with this
industry affect all of us. It's important that residents of Pennsylvania
remain informed. I hope you can attend this event:
