www.jtmp.org and www.op-critical.com present "Freakin Frackin" by Op-Critical, a protest song against "hydraulic fracturing". Hydraulic fracturing, or "Fracking", is using over 500 toxic chemicals to shatter rock to extract more natural gas from wells, driving profit up. It pollutes our groundwater and the air and is killing us. It is putting profit over the planet. It is time we ban this toxic practice that is harming our planet.

Please order and watch the DVD "Gasland", a great documentary about "Fracking". by filmmaker Josh Fox. Get informed about "Fracking", and we urge you to contact your representatives and say, "No Fracking Way!", and join the call for a moratorium and eventual ban of hydraulic fracturing.

1. Fracking: The Haliburton Loophole That Poisons America's Drinking Water

Josh Fox, director of "Gasland," joins Sam Seder to discuss the film and Fracking, which was first developed by Halliburton (who else?) over 50 years ago, involves drilling a deep, L-shaped well (in the case of horizontal fracking) into an area believed to contain natural gas, then pumping in millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals (known as fracking fluid) to crack the earth around the gas deposit, allowing the gas to escape so it can be captured closer to the surface. However, natural gas as well as the toxic chemicals found in fracking fluid can make their way into aquifers used to supply drinking water, effectively poisoning wells and making tap water combustible.
