> The valiant efforts of Denton, TX, to prohibit fracking through the existing structure of law has collided with the misconception that citizens may act at the local level to protect their health and welfare from corporate threats, just as communities in northwest Ohio have found themselves at the mercy of corporate industrial scale livestock and poultry confinement operations, due to existing law. 
> 
> We are one of many communities across the country, facing a corporate harm, which is exploring a new path; one that takes a civil rights approach, using rights based ordinances to protect the community and the surrounding environment, in order to expose the imbalance of power between corporations and communities, and to test existing law to create change where communities may act in their best interest.
> Sherry Fleming, OHCRN Board member Williams County

> Dear Denton Community- we in Ohio are in solidarity with your campaign and success in unifying your residents and taking civil action to protect your Water, Air, Soil, Children & Rights from the Oil and Shale Gas industry's radioactive and toxic pollution.  
> Thank you for This Success!  It has galvanized us all.
> Please adopt a Denton Bill of Rights to further fortify your Rights.  You have your peoples' support (which is Huge), the industry and gov agencies will be slowed down, stymied, even stopped.  The Rights Based tactic is strong and working in communities fighting like you.
