Obama must be urged
to keep promise on fracking.
"In his State of the Union speech, President Obama promised
that drilling and fracking for natural gas would happen "without putting
the health and safety of our citizens at risk."
Oil and gas companies are trying to get Obama to go back on
his word.
On April 17, the Environmental Protection Agency is set to
finalize regulations that would reduce lung-burning smog and cancer-causing
benzene from fracking and drilling. But the oil and gas industry is lobbying hard for loopholes that would
dramatically weaken the rule--and they're taking their fight straight to the
White House."

USDA Secretary
Vilsack--who oversees the U.S. Forest Service fails to protect Tongass
National Forest and Obama Administration fails to speak out on this issue.
"Right now, Congress is considering the fate of many of the finest stands
of coastal temperate rainforest in Alaska's Tongass National
Forest--considered to be the crown jewel of the U.S. National Forest system.
If passed, this legislation will hand over tens of
thousands of acres to Sealaska Corporation for clearcutting and commercial
development. Gone will be towering stands of trees as old as 500 years and as
big as 10 feet in diameter--some of the richest prizes in this vast old-growth
rainforest.
