Last June, prominent Fractivists wrote to major environmental groups to request that they become signatories to an important coalition letter which asked Governor Cuomo to halt his Marcellus Shale Department of Health "review" conducted in secret without any public participation.

Not one group provided a favorable reply.

See the respectful Fractivist letter: http://www.toxicstargeting.com/sites/default/files/letter_140919.pdf

The coalition letter is consistent with a landmark editorial just published in The New York Times about the shortcomings of Governor Cuomo's Department of Health "review."

See the "Round Two for Gov. Cuomo" editorial: http://www.toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale/news/2014-11-09/round-two-for-cuomo

Please call and email Big Green groups to become signatories to the coalition letter.
