Gas Drilling?

Who REALLY Wins? Who REALLY Loses?


  • JOIN US! if you are one of the majority of NEW YORKERS (53% in a recent Cornell University poll) who now see MORE RISK THAN REVENUE in the Gas Drilling Scam!
  • JOIN US! if you are concerned about the wanton carelessness of a drilling industry that reneges on its promises to communities while it spills and contaminates across the country!
  • JOIN US! if you think the tax payer will be left to live with TOXIC WASTE, AIR & WATER POLLUTION, ILLNESS.
  • JOIN US! if you are concerned that while A VERY FEW will profit, THE REST OF US will lose our way of life and be in debt for the mess the drillers will leave us!
  • JOIN US! if you are concerned that our County Board of Supervisors supports drilling – WITHOUT HEARING BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE!
  • JOIN US! to demand that time be allotted for Delaware County Citizens to be heard at all Delaware County Supervisors’ meetings!
  • JOIN US! if you want your voice to be heard.

There will be a microphone & loudspeaker available.
