Marcellus gas drilling is expanding rapidly across the state. Some
areas, like Susquehanna County and Washington County, it's been over 2
years since it started. Pittsburgh, however, is right next to
Washington County, and it's only been in the past few weeks that the
companies have moved in to start buying up land rights. People are
reposnding; organizing is happening.
Many people from Western PA have been in touch with PA from Below
about getting mass quantities of the paper. The problem is that we've
run out- we've successfully distributed 5,000 copies of out first
issue. A new issue will be in the works, but til then, we've been
telling people across the state that if they can collectively pitch in
$400, we can print anothe 5,000 copy run of the paper and get them out
to people who want them.
Please, if you can, join them in adding to the pot so that people in
Washington, Fayette, Greene and Fayette counties (not to mention
Harrisburg) can get more copies of a tool they find useful for
organizing around natural gas drilling. $400 isn't much, and the
sooner it's together, the sooner it will be in people's hands.
Thank you,
