> Dear Shirley,
>
> *Kern County is the most fracked county in California.*It also has the worst 
> air quality in the nation, terrible water quality, and highly elevated rates 
> of cancer and respiratory illness.
>
> But Governor Brown continues to greenlight dozens of new permits to frack 
> there each month, insisting that fracking should be allowed to continue while 
> the state studies its toxic impacts.
>
> *Kern County residents are fighting back and have invited Governor Brown to 
> come see the impacts of fracking for himself -- you can read their letter 
> below -- and we're urging him to take them up on the invitation.*
>
> The truth is that all the evidence of harm that Governor Brown needs to ban 
> fracking in California is waiting for him in Kern County -- all he has to do 
> is go see it for himself.

> Kern County is also already experiencing the impacts of global warming, which 
> will only get worse as fracking for dirty oil further warms the planet. The 
> Central Valley is buckling under the ongoing climate change-driven drought, 
> agricultural jobs are drying up, dust-borne Valley Fever is on the rise, and 
> respiratory illnesses like asthma are exacerbated as temperatures rise.
>
> Thanks to a handful of sellout Democrats who voted to kill our fracking 
> moratorium bill, it's now up to Governor Brown to stand up to the oil industry 
> and stop fracking in California. And some of the people best able to explain 
> the urgency of banning fracking are Kern County residents whose homes, 
> schools, farms and churches are surrounded by oil wells.

> Here the letter from Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment activists 
> urging Governor Brown visit Kern County:
>
>     Dear Governor Brown,
>
>     We hope this message finds you and your loved ones in good health. We
>     recently heard from our friend Linda at 350.org that you believe fracking
>     has "zero impacts" on our communities and families here in the Central Valley.
>
>     Governor, with all respect, we know firsthand that you're wrong on that.
>     We are the ones living with fracking every day and we'd like to share our
>     experiences with you. We speak for our community of Shafter and with the
>     many farmworking towns throughout Kern County--which as you know has both
>     the largest number of wells in the state and the worst air pollution in
>     the country.
>
>     We can see wells surrounding our elementary schools, our churches, our
>     farms and our homes. We can see unlined pits of wastewater next to the
>     fields we and our families work in. Those we care about are beginning to
>     suffer from headaches, nosebleeds, rare cancers and respiratory diseases
>     associated with oil drilling and extraction. We do not want the pollution,
>     the contamination. We know fracking is good for the oil companies. But
>     it's not good for the people of the Valley or California's climate.
>
>     We ask how you could do this to our families and other low income
>     communities and communities of color across the state? We invite you to
>     see what it really means to live with fracking by visiting our hometown.
>     We know that once you know what we do, you'll do the right thing by
>     stopping fracking to protect our families.
>
>     We stand along with our allies in Los Angeles facing the same pollution we
>     do. We know that together, with allies across California and with your
>     leadership, we can and we will stop fracking. Si se puede!
