Real change is within reach regarding the extent and type of oil and
gas extraction in Aurora, Arapahoe County, and on the State Land Board
Land at the Former Lowry Bombing Range  !  We HAVE had an impact to
date:

-Aurora City Council will be considering a 6 month moratorium on
drilling applications, to gather more information on impacts and
revision of city ordinanances to mitigate harms !
-Arapahoe County has held 2 public hearings and produced a set of new
Rules re oil and gas in the County.
-The State Land Board has written a proposal for drilling at the
Former Lowry Bombing Range (their "Matrix") that includes reference to
our petition requested terms and call for Best Management Practices.
- Also, What the Frack?! Arapahoe , Be the Change, Food and Water
Watch and other groups presented several bill outlines to lco
legislators, in hopes of passing state legislation that will reform
the state oil and gas regulations (requiring Best Management Practices
across the state, making clear local government's right to refuse the
heavy industry of fracking within city limits or in other areas
designated "off limits" , disallowing uncompensated harms to Colorado
residents, etc. ) Hopefully these bills will get passed, with the
strong support of citizen groups like ours all over Colorado !


 But, in the meantime, our local governments are our only line of
defence against the fracking free-for- all that is poised to take
place in our communities.  That is why the 4 actions listed below are
so important !

These 4 actions, communicating with our elected officials,  will
result in success ,   IF

AND ONLY IF each of us carries them out and gets neighbors, family
members, friends, acqaintances, and colleagues  to do the same, this
week and next week,  per the date fields listed.

If elected officials can clearly see that there is a HUGE and RESOLUTE
public outcry for change of oil and gas rules, they will respond
positively.

WHETHER OR NOT WE ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME DEPENDS ON YOU AND
ME  !


LET'S GET THIS DONE, FOR ALL OF US, BY ALL OF US  !!!
