Excerpt from explanation of petition - ". . . when I traveled to Dimock, Pennsylvania, to meet families who were suffering serious health impacts from using water contaminated from fracking operations. I met many people whose children and pets were suffering from skin lesions, hair loss, projectile vomiting, severe headaches, dizziness and pain throughout their bodies — and they could light their tap water on fire! After having this first-hand experience, I joined the fight to get the truth out about this nightmare happening to my neighbors. When the going got rough, a group of concerned citizens and I stepped in to help these people get safe drinking water. Thankfully, the EPA came to the rescue and delivered families water while conducting an investigation. But when the EPA abruptly closed the case, stopped water deliveries to the residents and deemed the water safe to drink, we knew something was wrong. . ."
