Group recommends members cast ballots against proposition

Far-left activists UNT Philosophy Professor Adam Briggle and a Washington DC-based special interest group (Earthworks)'s outside paid political operative Sharon Wilson are two of the main individuals behind the effort to ban drilling in the City of Denton.
