Urgent Toxic Well Info

Hello everyone this is an urgent message and an important call to action to STOP THE TOXIC WELLS!

I know it has been awhile since you have received an email but I have saved them all up for this big one or I should say this one....the most important one.

We need everyone to join us at the State Capitol in Austin next Tuesday March 24, 2009 @ 8:00 am. I know this is short notice and very early morning call time. However, this is what we have been waiting for with the new legislation pending.

On this day the bills that Rep. Creighton & Senator Nichols have wrote to help stop our wells and help protect Texans will be before the House Natural Resource Committee as well Senator Nichols is getting the senate hearing the same day.

Rep. Creighton and Nichols office have expressed the importance and encouraged that as many people that can come to these hearings....please do so. It is VERY IMPORTANT. We needs these bills to be recommended to the floor so they can be voted on......and ultimately passed.

Again, do not rely on others doing this.....this is everyone's responsibility to take part in the process of protection or our water our "Natural Resources". WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE THUS FAR. WE MUST SEE IT THROUGH TOGETHER!!

I will be sending room number info and bill numbers that must be referenced when signing in at the capital over the weekend.on Sunday, so watch for it. Many of us driving will be leaving at 4:00 am heading to Austin.....I will also include a meeting place if you wish to follow one another.

If you absolutely can NOT go to Austin...Sunday I will forward info to email to our legislator on Monday making your voice heard that way. Do not use this choice if you can attend in person.....in person is very important.

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing many of you in Austin!

Info from Jennifer Real on the Toxic Well Fight

The time has come again to FIGHT for what's right!

STOPPING THE TOXIC WELLS

I know it has been nice not to get my emails and have to worry about our water.....but the fight continues ....Thanks to the TCEQ's remand of our case back to the SOAH judges for another hearing. For those of you who attended that hearing in November.....Thank you and was it an eye opener or what? I know all of you now have a much better understanding as to how important this cause is and are ready to fight this with all we got.

What's next and what we need to do.

1. Fundraising to continue fight -

in Conroe (map and directions will come as it get closer).

****Start spring cleaning and saving your stuff for the Garage Sale. We also need people to work drop off and at the garage sale. So please let me know when we can count on you.

2. Community Awareness - We all know we MUST keep the awareness and numbers
high as that is why the permits were not granted and why the EPA is watching these
permits so closely and how we are going to stop this forever!!!

hand out info and help spread the word and keep people aware. We need people from
