a grassroots group of volunteers. We are working to make San Benito
County the first "frontline" county in California to ban fracking &
extreme extraction in California. We have some oil and gas drilling in
our county, but we're working hard to stop it from expanding into the
rest of the county.</p><p>Our ballot initiative is scheduled for the
November 2014 election, so we're gearing up for a big campaign against
the fossil fuel industry. We're optimistic about winning because we've
been canvassing already and have gotten very encouraging support from
the vast majority of residents in our county. </p><p><font color="#073763" face="arial, sans-serif"><b>Join us in this fight to protect our water, health and way of life!<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"> [see how they look in the attachment] </span><br>
