Big Oil & Gas...Frack the People

Emily Wurth, Water Program, Food & Water Watch, joins Thom Hartmann.

But why hasn't the EPA - our nation's environmental watchdog - shut down the company responsible for the contaminations?

I'd love to see more of Thom's thoughts on what we as citizens can do to stop this runaway train. Americans for Prosperity now has North Carolina in a chokehold by way of Art Pope. Fracking here we come.

Frack the EPA they only go after the small guy who doesn't have the deep pockets to defend them selves from litigation. And while your at it frack the FDA, and those other three letter agencies that wish to regulate and control our lives!
