WHO in their right mind

Would support (push) SB 875? 

Read about it on TXSharon.  WHO elected this gashole?

If you keep electing people like Bonnen, then you should at least pay attention to the ways these people misuse their office and stop pretending that you are the party of personal property rights.

The Denton Record Chronicle quotes attorney Kirk Claunch on his opinion of the amendment:

“I can’t think of any piece of legislation that’s more un-American than one that deprives a private property owner of the right to defend themselves against abuses from a big oil company or anybody else,” Claunch said. “This is law that essentially says we are going to let the oil and gas industry do whatever it needs and to run over anybody that gets in its way without any consequence.”

Rights, what rights?  This is the new Texas...unfortunately headed the Fort Worth Way...

Tell your Texas senator to block SB 875

It takes less than a minute to send a message to your Texas state senator telling him or her that you want SB 875 blocked from passage.

Don't let Troy Fraser and his corporate cronies
trample your property rights!

Tell your TX state senator to block SB 875

State senator Troy Fraser, chair of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and renowned champion of corporate interests, recently introduced his latest bad idea,  SB 875.

In a nutshell: SB 875 allows Texas state permit holders to trample on your property rights

A permit -- for gas drilling, or anything else -- is supposed to make the permit-holder behave responsibly.

SB 875 turns that on its head – it makes a permit a “get out of jail free” card.

No matter what the gas driller (or other permit holder) does -- if they’re holding a government permit, they can’t be held accountable under Texas nuisance law.

If SB 875 becomes law, that is.

Pollution from industry can trespass onto your property all day and night, pollute it, make your family sick, kill your livestock,  and industry only has to say “I was just following my permit or rule.”
