This was done by a group of concerned PA protesters
http://www.marcellusprotest.org/ to the dangers of gas fracking. It is something everyone should see! While Wisconsin is fighting for the rights this is taking over our country with the same influence of huge corporations and the Halliburton connection (see page 41 of report):
Because of their friend Dick Cheney the industry enjoys numerous exemptions known as the Halliburton Loophole.

Mayor Calvin Tillman Leaves Dish, Texas Fearing 'Fracking' Effects On Family's Health
Zelman Huffington Post
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/24/mayor-calvin-tillman-leav_n_827478.html...According to the Associated Press, residents of Dish have complained of nosebleeds, pain, and poor circulation since the first compressor station was built in their town in 2005, though there is no hard proof linking the health problems to the natural gas drilling. The air over the Barnett Shale near Dish was found to contain high levels of the toxic chemical benzene, shown to cause cancer. The town's mayor is leaving it all behind.
Last Memorial Day was the final straw. Tillman's 5-year-old son awoke in the middle of the night with a severe nosebleed. As Tillman describes to HuffPost, "He had blood all over his hands, blood on the walls -- our house looked somewhat like a murder scene." In the weeks prior, both of Tillman's sons had experienced severe nosebleeds. At the same time, the town was surrounded by a strong odor from their natural gas facilities.
