Posted to the event page for Pennsylvanians Against Frackings fake protest at the Capitol next Tuesday--the one where they call on Wolf to sign a moratorium he will NOT sign--ever. Indeed, the Democrat Party moratorium turns out to be NOTHING other than a lever for getting a few professional activists to the dinner invites and the mic to angle for their place at the table of the party who wins. WILL PAF REMOVE MY DECLINE POST BELOW FROM THEIR FAKE EVENT PAGE? NOT TO WORRY! HERE IT IS! ****************************** It would be absolutely awesome if Pennsylvanians Against Fracking actually meant what they said and were geared to STOP fracking. But, sadly, this is simply not true. fact is, this event is just one more photo-op for a few effectively professional activists looking to get a seat at the table of the party who wins in November--and that is properly called selling out. I will post this to my own page as a precaution just in case the post is removed here. People have a right to KNOW what PAF really is--and it is NOT about ending fracking. From the Food and water watch sponsor: Pennsylvanians Against Fracking is working to get Democrats elected and get a seat at their table- This is a coalition of 501c3 nonprofits that will not do any electoral activity, period. After the election, well be working to put pressure on whoever is elected to put a moratorium on fracking. I dont understand where the assumption that this coalition is in the pocket of Democrats comes from. My response: Working to get Democrats elected is precisely what we should NOT be doing. Tom Wolf is PRO-FRACKING. There are virtually NO Democrats who are anti-fracking, and this notion that electing Democrats will make some difference towards the end os a nightmare that many of us LIVE is fool-hardy at best. I appreciate you clarifying that point for me--but it is on that point precisely that you will receive the most criticism from folks like me. The argument made out by the Dems for a severance tax is ABSURD and it will HARM people. By leveling a tax upon which funding for education and other social programs will be based INSTITUTIONALIZES the gas industry. They will become part of the funding infrastructure of the state--there could be no better gift to them--and that is what YOUR candidates support. thewrenchphilosleft.blogspot/2014/09/selling-out-movement-to-guarantee-seat.html
