Wow. Just wow.
I stumbled across this today and while I normally don't reblog stuff word-for-word, this bears repeating.
Did you know there are more than 25 million people at risk due to unsafe tanker cars carrying highly-flammable oil on railways near homes and schools? It's time to get these dangerous cars off the tracks and protect our communities!
Find out if you are in the oil train Blast Zone here and sign the petition demanding that Congress stand up to Big Oil (yeah, I know…fat chance that will ever happen) and get unsafe oil cars off the rails.
Don't suppose this petition is sponsored by those involved with the fracking argument and the potential oil pipeline from Canada to Texas?!
Plays right into the hands of Big Oil – meaning the Bush estate!
On July 6th, 2013, a small town in Québec, Canada, named Lac Mégantic was devastated by the derailment and explosion of about 70 car full of crude oil… 47 persons perished instantly and several 10s of thousand gallons of oil were dumped in a river that is the primary source of water to more 50, 000 people, and all of this for the "economic bottom line"!!!
