There is so much misinformation and money pouring into Denton to defeat the ban it is unbelievable. http://www.npr.org/2014/10/27/359403518/north-texas-town-could-become-first-in-the-state-to-ban-fracking

Yesterday
Our opponents are out-spending us 10:1 with $700,000 from Chevron, Devon, XTO, Enervest, and Occidental. Six donors with Denton addresses gave a total of $210. This is OUR DENTON! YOUR VOTE carries more power than all THEIR MONEY. Please get out there and VOTE FOR THE BAN!!
Ban’s foes far outspend proponents

The record books will likely stay inked for a while: A proposal to ban hydraulic fracturing in the city has spurred more than $772,000 in political donations, the most expensive campaign in Denton’s history.

The industry has hired people to stand at the polls and confuse voters but YOU can be the voice of clarity by signing up to cover the shifts below. All you need is a few hours, some sunscreen, and the truth! Our main goal at the polls is to... clear up any confusion voters have about the ballot wording.

Choose the times and locations below that you would like to cover. Then email dentondag@gmail.com with the subject 'Poll watching' to let us know. Please include your name and phone number. We will update the poll watchers list on the website and

We have all come so far and now we must give one final push at the polls this last week to see this through! The simple but essential work of poll watching can make all the difference.

Finance report out and Denton residents donated $210 to pro-fracking anti ban group while out of town pro-frackers and industry donated $466,185. Denton residents cannot be bought or fooled. Thanks to everyone for the letters to the editor,... neighborhood walking, poll working and support.
As I lay my tired head down tonight I will sleep a little easier knowing what a strong, powerful and smart bunch of neighbors I am surrounded by.
The wind is at our back and we are on the verge of making history. We have stood strong and are fighting to protect ourselves because no one else will.
Remember we still need poll workers. There are still several days for voters to go to the polls. The other side has hired workers to lie and mislead voters so come help us give voters the correct information.
Vote FOR the proposition FOR the ban on hydraulic fracturing. See More

Setting the record straight in the DRC today: "...It’s sad to note that all the money behind their deceptive campaign could have been spent on better practices to protect Denton residents. They are not investing in our community. They are exploiting it..."
Adam Briggle: City better positioned than industry fearmongers claim

On Oct. 19, this paper urged Denton’s residents to vote “no” on the fracking ban, because “we can come up with a better plan” and write “reasonable regulations.”

We felt a shift the moment we announced the petition for the ban. People came out from the dark corners of apathy and hopelessness. They rekindled a sense of citizenship and put their creative talents in service of the commonweal. And now we can feel our city rising up.

“I am a Newt Gingrich, “Drill, Baby, Drill” kind of person,” said Terry, a longtime conservative activist who seemed to echo the feelings of some others in the [Republican] crowd. ”I’m very pro-drilling. Unfortunately, and it sounds very self-serving, I don’t want it in my back yard.”
