*NPR is still refusing to drop the sponsored ads from the fracking 
industry. So I'm headed back to their DC office with a lot more friends. 
Can you back us up?*

Erif,

It's pledge drive season. If you're like me, and you've been listening 
to NPR frequently, I'm sure you've heard the local stations interrupting 
your favorite shows to ask you to support public radio. That's because 
local stations are funded by people like you and me. However, *the 
/National/ Public Radio office is funded by frackers*.^1

For months you've been calling, emailing, and sharing petitions. We've 
aired our own ads, delivered the message in person and even broadcast a 
pirate radio show on NPR's doorstep.^2 Our campaign has five times as 
many Facebook fans as All Things Considered does, for goodness sake!^3 
And yet, money still talks louder than people on public radio. *What the 
frack is up with that?*

*If you're still pissed that NPR is airing pro-fracking ads, sign and 
share this updated petition.* Make sure to personalize your petition 
signature by calling on your local station to stop airing ANGA's ads.

**tell npr you don't heart fracking

I know you've signed petitions to NPR in the past. But we need you to 
act again right now more than ever. Why? Well, I have a plan to go back 
to NPR right at the end of this pledge drive, and this time we want to 
bring our friends from the Beyond Extreme Energy action.^4

Together, we're planning to make a stand on NPR's doorstep as part of a 
week of actions to highlight fracking's disastrous impacts on our 
communities, climate and planet. And there's a super-secret plan to 
pressure dozens of local stations at the same time. I can't tell you 
about it on email, or all the local stations will freak out. But suffice 
it to say, we're going to use our collective reach to disrupt the 
frackers ability to buy their way into the public debate.

But to make it all work, we need your support again. Even if you've 
signed before, *add your name here to tell NPR "No fracking on Public 
Radio!" And this time please make sure to personalize your petition to 
call on your local station to stop airing ANGA pro-fracking ads* 
<http://www.webaction.org/site/R?i=P3GGq1yiKTha5w7GK7tiLA>. Together, 
we'll deliver dozens of messages to Public Radio Stations from coast to 
coast and shut down the plan to frack our civic debate radio.

Made possible by listeners like YOU,

Drew Hudson, and the team at Environmental Action
