URGENT!! Your participation is needed on Tuesday February 2, @ 7 PM, Fort Worth Municipal Building ("City Hall") - 1000 Throckmorton, to tell the City Council that you oppose dangerous toxic gas wells in your neighborhood.  Bring everyone you can to fill up city council chambers and don't forget to fill out a card to vote AGAINST whether you speak or not.  Each person gets up to 3 minutes each to speak, sometimes more.  Don't just roll over and let this happen without objection. THIS MAY BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE... IF THIS PERMIT GETS APPROVED FEBRUARY 2, IT COULD BE OVER AND YOU LOSE!  You should also attempt to contact your politicians as quickly as possible to let them know you OPPOSE THE AWARDING OF THIS WELL PERMIT AND ANY FUTURE WELLS FROM BEING DRILLED UNTIL YOU'VE HAD MORE TIME TO BE FULLY INFORMED OF THE NEGATIVES BEING IMPOSED ON OUR NEIGHBORHOODS 

If YOU don't stop them, the city council will be granting a 'variance,' (as they've been doing all over town like wildfire), which says to XTO, "We know you don't meet the rules of our gas drilling ordinance, but we'll overlook that and give you a permit anyway, even as the dangerous gas wells are located < 600 ft. from an elementary school....cause it's all about the money, and money is more important than these particular kids at Daggett Montessori, Daggett Elementary, and the little ones who live right across the street (literally) from the gas wells."

THE CITY EMPLOYEES AND CITY COUNCIL, CLEARLY BIASED ON THE SIDE OF THE GAS COMPANIES, WOULD RATHER YOU NOT NOTICE WHAT THEY'RE DOING AS THEY GRANT THESE 'VARIANCES,' BUT YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW

CLICK HERE for city council member contact information. Tell them to stop this nonsensical, irresponsible, and risky behavior.  

*IMPORTANT - Return to this web site in case the hearing date changes due to community concerns*

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE THREE XTO/EXXON AGENDA ITEMS ON JANUARY 12. TWO OF THEM HAVE BEEN CONTINUED UNTIL TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2 FOR A VOTE.

Accepting a gas well in your neighorhood puts the poisonous toxins closest to YOU, but could be bad for ALL of Ft. Worth, yet gas wells are all over town. How could this happen? Plus, you could have noisy trucks transporting toxic water, rolling down your street all day and night, one well after another. So who is looking out for YOU? The politicians won't stop this until YOU make ENOUGH noise!   

TCU  residents said "NO, not in our neighborhood"

Fairmount residents said "NO, not in our neighborhood"

Ryan Place residents said "NO, not in our neighborhood"

Roanake residents said "NO, not in our neighborhood"

Rosemont residents are TRYING to say "NO, not in our neighborhood" but no one is listening. (Rosemont isn't made up of rich people.) 

So why should we say "YES?"

Answer: We shouldn't! 

JUST SAY "NO" LIKE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE!

Fort Worth Neighborhood Fights Wells Over Health Concerns

"People are frightened....People are threatening to sell their homes and leave if the wells go in"

Aren't the dangers of rural gas well drilling known by the industry and members of our city government? Wouldn't common sense dictate that when they hurriedly approved and brought thousands of wells into the city, they were also importing those same hazards here? These issues have NOT been adequately addressed. And they're still granting 'variances' and permits every week AS IF everything is fine.

Click HERE to watch the XTO video ABOUT WHO GOT THE MONEY AND WHO DIDN'T (besides the City of FW and the gas companies, who ALWAYS get the money.)  Why aren't your taxes and water/garbage/sewer fees going down? Maybe you should ask your city councilperson and the mayor!

Jeremy Brandon, who lives about a mile away from the explosion site, said the noise jolted him awake. "It was 2:57 when I looked at my alarm clock. It looked like it was 12:30. It was very bright," Brandon said.
