Sheffield Nelson, the former CEO of the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company is calling for a halt to hydraulic fracturing near lakes, rivers and streams in the State of Arkansas.

Their campaign funds have given them selective hearing.

Freshman state Rep. Stefani Carter, of Dallas was holding up bill 3792 (the one that gives power to cities) and then voted for bill 3105 (the one that gives power to gas and oil). I've written my reps and voted in the people who I think will try to do the right thing, and this piece of trash from Dallas holds it for ransom.
Enemies are friends and friends are enemies. Strange times.
Hey guys Great stuff Thanks for posting! I'll be back often
