See the article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram by Deborah Rogers calling for a moratorium on gas drilling in Fort Worth.

It includes your invitation to help save our city -

The League of Neighborhoods is hosting an open forum and panel discussion on the effects of oil and gas drilling on air quality at 7 p.m. Thursday at University Christian Church, 2720 S. University Drive, Fort Worth


Drilling has occurred at unprecedented rates in densely populated areas — near our homes, our schools, our medical facilities. It was allowed without ever conducting a study to determine the consequences of such activity on our neighborhoods, our health and our welfare, and without ever putting into place a system of ongoing monitoring or controls. Short-term gain won out over long-term responsibility to local residents.

There is no historical precedent for this. We now know that we have been exposed to a known human carcinogen. If further testing comes back showing sulfur compounds in addition to benzene, then we have a greater problem ahead. While no one disputes the economic benefits of the Barnett Shale, the gas must be produced responsibly.
