This is an official call-out to all Occupations and
environmentally concerned citizens in North Carolina to demonstrate at
the North Carolina General Assembly on the evening of Sunday November
27th. The House of Representatives is planning on passing SB 709 which
will fast track plans for the oil & gas industry to begin hydrofracking
& offshore drilling in North Carolina endangering our water supply and
ecosystems for the financial benefit of greedy corporations. Our
"representatives" have scheduled this evening vote during Thanksgiving
weekend hoping they could sneak this through without an uproar. Let's
prove otherwise and stop 709! 

Meet @ The Legislative building at 16 W
Jones St # 2129 Raleigh, NC 27601 around 6:45 p.m. please bring signs!
Demonstration should begin by 7 p.m.

Urgent Action Needed! Pro Fracking PR Hack Descends Upon Chapel Hill:
Tell Flyleaf Books to Cancel Event Immediately! (Please Forward Widely)
UNC's Humanities in Action program plans to bring the president of an
oil and gas company that makes money off of hydraulic fracturing to
speak in support of this dangerous natural gas extraction practice at a
local independent bookstore called Flyleaf Books. There will be no one
present to tell the other side of the story: that fracking has caused
major disasters all over the country from well explosions, to methane
leached in to water aquifers, poisoned families, carcinogens and
hundreds of toxins leached into our rivers. The event is scheduled for
December 7th from 3:30-5 p.m. and tickets cost $20. 

Let's stop this
corporate charade - Tell Flyleaf Books to cancel this event! Our water
and environment are more important than corporate profits! Quotes from
their flyer: "We live in a society that cannot function in its present
state without access to copious amounts of fossil fuels. How can we
extract these resources …? What is the science behind oil and gas
extraction? Where are the deposits and how can we get them? Dr. Carl
Trowell, President of WesternGeco, the geophysical services division of
Schlumberger, will be on hand to explain oil and gas exploration and
drilling from the perspective of those who do it." 

Say no to corporate
greed and defend our water supply by contacting Flyleaf books now at
(919) 942-7373 located at 752 Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard,
Chapel Hill, NC 27514. And e-mail, too at info AT flyleafbooks.com It is
time to say no to dirty energy! You can also contact the humanities
department at UNC at 919-962-1544 and e-mail human AT unc.edu
