Doesn't want you to know


Big Gas plays Geppetto

to his Pinocchio.

Fracking Poem Number 12





People like to wager

In Vegas or in Reno.


But who'd frackin' gamble

On Carl Paladino?

Fracking Poem Number 11




According to the gas crowd's catechism

The Clean Water Act is Socialism




Any attempt at regulation

Is Stalinism, an abomination.




Do they find their religion

in churches? On their knees? In the pews?

No, they're high on the gospel

of Talk Radio and Fox News.




Not to get too technical (about stuff like hydrology)

But clean water is too sacred

to sacrifice on the altar of extremist ideology.

While the news may not seem poetic or quotable,

Fracking Poem Number Nine





(The Super Fun) SuperFund Site Song!

(sung to the tune of the Wheels on the Bus go 'round and 'round)



We'll All Be Living in A SuperFund Site


SuperFund Site


SuperFund Site


We'll All Be Living in A SuperFund Site


If "Friends" of Natural Gas Have their way.







Dimmock Pennsylvania is a toxic mess


Toxic Mess


Toxic Mess


Dimmock Pennsylvania is a toxic mess


And they say it's heading our Way!







We're all going to stop it in the voting booth


Voting Booth


Voting Booth


'Cause they've got the money but we've got the truth


And that's what carries the day!
