Thanks Jesse. Finely a legislator WHO acts like one.

So are you expecting written answers or an invite to their office to sit down and discuss?

Anyone who is concerned about their water, whether it be from gas drilling, natural causes of pollution, or anything other causes of pollution can install a whole home water purification system that would clean the water right before it enters your house. A lot of people around the country are installing these systems whether they rely on ground water or public water. Many of these people don't even live in areas that are being drilled. Anyone who is concerned about frack chemicals entering their wells should look at the recently released report from the EPA about how the water in Dimock, Pa. did get polluted. According to from what I got from it the fracking process did not pollute the water but the actual drilling process may have and that the water eventually cleared up. That's what led me to look at what can be done about this and I came across this idea about the purification system. I would suggest that the gas drillers install these systems on the people's homes in close proximity to the gas well, who use water wells as their water source, before they even start moving dirt . It would be a lot cheaper than a lawsuit filed later on.

Easy for you to say, Mr. Roessler, since you're cashing big checks from the gas industry. Are you willing to pay for water purification systems for everyone else???

See Mr. Roessler shilling for the gas industry: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/10/photogalleries/101022-energy-gas-faces-shale-pictures/

Make sure you look at the video of the interview too. And no I won't pay for yours but I may take my gas money and install one in my own home even though our water was never polluted from the drilling. After researching them and seeing what other things can be found in our water from sources other than the gas drilling got me thinking about it. And if you read my last sentence, which you apparantly didn't, I said the gas driller should pay for it.

Amanda, If you go to "What They Are Saying" on the home page the sites are still there.

Thank You Tom for opening my eyes a little bit more on this subject. Now I know who is really responsible for what's going on here. And for anyone who missed it read the following articles.

If you believe anything Energy In Depth says, I feel sorry for you. They're an industry-paid propaganda machine. For the truth about them, check out the "Connecting the Dots" series. http://vimeo.com/56253894

So your anti gas propoganda rags are financed by Kerry and they don't back what they say with references. So who's telling the truth here.

They're not mine; I do my own independent research and analysis, but even if they were, they're not anti-gas. Energy In Depth's sole mission is to discredit anyone who asks any questions whatsoever about anything the gas industry does. Not much of a 'fact based discussion'.

I'm not going to bother arguing with someone who can't see the facts. I've already been through this with you before and when I threw out the facts you shut up and didn't have anything to say.

Come on Veronica knock your crap off.

Just so everyone knows the Vera Scroggins that's name was mentioned in the above article posted by Tom Sheperd is a real person who lives in Dimock, Pa.

She's not Veronica Coptis who wrote the letter to the observer.

...none of which has anything to do with Rep. White's letter to Secretary Krancer, so why are we talking about it?

Because this article was brought up in the conversation and I was confused in the end over who was who in the comment section and believe me after researching Vera Scroggins you don't want to be confused with her.

Want to see how fundamentally dirty a smear campaign EID like to play with anyone who dares to oppose fracking?

Wendy Lynne Lee

Here they come folks. I'll let you people take it from here.

Read the entire post, including the Wendy's comments. You'll see the problem here isn't EID or Wendy but Shaleshock Media.

Keep your Shaleshock anti-gas anti-gun crap in your own backyard in Susquehanna County. We don't want it here in our "industrial wasteland" in Washington County that you people refer too you when you spread your rheteric and lies. And if you believe the film The Promised Land to be truth then you are probably also waiting for Luke Skywalker to pick you up and take you into outer space.

Happy New Year Veronica. Like I said you don't want to be confused to be associated with these people.

Ok everyone you can go back to talking now. I'm done with my rant.

Tom Shepstone is a gas industry paid joke. Here's all you need to know:
http://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/12/11921/%E2%80%9Cenergy-depth%E2%80%9D-%E2%80%93-reporters%E2%80%99-guide-its-founding-funding-and-flacks

Interesting that Prouder American is afraid to use a real name. The story referenced was paid for by the Park Foundation. The Park Foundation numbers are a matter of a record and we have detailed the data numerous times including these posts:

http://eidmarcellus.org/blog/homespun-or-just-spin/5022/

http://eidmarcellus.org/blog/connecting-dots-park-foundation/6240/

The article you’re relishing was paid for by Park and is an attempt to deflect from a very serious issue – Park’s undeserved tax exemption as a charity when it’s really a political outfit. See below:

http://eidmarcellus.org/marcellus-shale/park-foundation-political-spending-doesnt-fit-their-charter/10034/

How funny you should mention that, Mr. Shepstone. Here's a nice little piece I found about your shady dealings and it mentions the Park Foundation specifically. Take your garbage someplace else, please.
http://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/12/11921/%E2%80%9Cenergy-depth%E2%80%9D-%E2%80%93-reporters%E2%80%99-guide-its-founding-funding-and-flacks

And, it's paid for by the Park Foundation, isn't it?

No, it wasn't. I got this right from the article.

The Center for Media and Democracy has received project grants from the Park Foundation that have allowed it to provide greater documentation of fracking issues, but this report was not funded or reviewed by the foundation. The analysis in this report reflects CMD's independent assessments as an expert critic of the techniques used in the field of public relations and propaganda. For nearly two decades, CMD has been a leading investigator of corporate-funded PR campaigns that affect our environment. Its most recent award-winning investigation is ALECexposed.org.

The author of this report, CMD's Executive Director Lisa Graves, received her J.D. from Cornell Law School, in Ithaca, New York. She previously served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Policy at the U.S. Department of Justice, as the Chief Counsel for Nominations for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, as the Deputy Chief of the Article III Judges Division of the U.S. Courts, and as an adjunct professor of law, among other posts.

Even if don't agree with Energy In Depth's articles it is entertaining reading the comments section when they argue with the Shaleshock Media people. That's why they get a bad reputation for picking people apart.

You don't seem very proud of your name "Proud American" as you don't use it. Also, don't pretend Park didn't fund this. Money is fungible. PR Watch is funded by Park. Period.

Sorry, I meant "Prouder American."

So even though they say it isn't funded by Park and you have no proof otherwise, you just call them liars. Here's another nugget I pulled from the article:

"Beyond IPAA/EID, these include API (which has launched front groups called “Energy Citizens” and “EnergyNation”), the Marcellus Shale Coalition, the Ohio Shale Coalition, America’s Natural Gas Alliance, the Center for Liquified Natural Gas, energy Tomorrow, EnergyfromShale.org, energyNow!, EnergyAnswered, LNGfacts.org, SecureOurFuels.org, Oilindependents.org, the Consumer Energy Alliance, Vote4Energy.org, the American Energy Alliance (AEA), the Institute for Energy Research (IER), and others."

So doesn't that put you in the middle of a massive glass house, Tommy Boy?

But, wait- there's more!

"Some of these groups work together on campaigns. AEA, for example, joined in a bus tour with David Koch’s Americans for Prosperity (AFP) to influence voters about fracking under the jobs frame frequently spouted by Shepstone. Due to inadequate public disclosure requirements, however, it is difficult to know who helped fund that tour besides Koch through his financial support for AFP, which he helped found and helps lead. This is just one of many ways pro-fracking groups coordinate and amplify common messages. They have even had overlapping public relations staff, as with IPAA/EID's Chris Tucker, a former GOP congressional staffer who has been described as a Senior Vice President at Financial Dynamics, as the “managing director of FTI Consulting and as team lead for Energy In Depth.” For a time, Tucker was publicly listed as handling communications for both IPAA/EID and IER, “using the same phone number for both,” according to DeSmogBlog's research.

Of course, according to the leaked IPAA memo, one of the goals for EID was "coordinated messages."

But, Shepstone is relatively silent on such matters and on how his public messages help facilitate that goal."

We're not silent, like you. WE tell people exactly who we are on are website and we're proud of it. It's the Park Foundation that funds anti-gas junk science, funds groups to exploit that research, funds news outlets to report on it and then funds still others to accuse us of what it does. And, yes it funds PR Watch and money is fungible.

Mr. Shepstone, you are a charlatan and a fraud. If you ever opened your eyes and saw the damage companies like Range Resources is doing to the places we call home, you would never be able to look yourself in the mirror again.

Is that you, Jesse?

Hmmm. No response. Makes you wonder doesn't it.
