Dear John,

 Recently Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown's oil and gas officials released draft rules for fracking in the state. Tragically, though, the rules cater to industry -- instead of protecting Californians from fracking, they protect fracking from Californians.    

Hydraulic fracking involves pumping water laced with toxic chemicals at high pressure directly underground in an attempt to free up the oil and gas below. The process is tied to air and water pollution and releases huge volumes of methane, a dangerously potent greenhouse gas. All this for the sake of furthering our unhealthy dependence on fossil fuels, at great risk to the environment.

The regulations attempt to fast-track fracking projects before properly studying their dangers -- what we need is a full-scale ban on fracking and other extreme fossil-fuel extraction methods.

Please urge Gov. Brown to ban fracking in California now.
