All - I stand corrected on two matters:
First, Monticello is at 7pm on Tuesday, not 6pm as stated below
Second, Fernandina Beach is in Nassau County
Finally, this is a message received from Michelle Gale (drmgale@xxxxxxx
<mailto:drmgale@xxxxxxx> ) which didn't go through for some reason:
Hi All:
Last night the city of Coconut Creek unanimously passed a resolution opposed
to Kanter Real Estate's drilling for oil in Broward's Everglades. Section 2
of the resolution was what Matt Schwartz calls a power punch: "That it
hereby publicly expresses its vehement opposition to the exploratory oil
drilling operations sought by Kanter Real Estate LLC in the area
approximately six miles west of the City of Miramar city limits, and urges
Broward County and all municipalities in Broward County to consider similar
legislation opposing the efforts of Kanter."
You plant seeds, you never know what's gonna come of it.
That and Amy's calculation that 29% of Floridians now live in cities or
counties that have gone on record as being opposed to fracking in Florida
should get us through the weekend.
Cheers, Michelle Gale
P.S. I'm looking for people in and around Okeechobee County to help a
fracktivist there who rather desperately needs reinforcements. Please let me
know ASAP if you can help.

Subject: [flantifracking] quick update on resolutions - August 4 is
important
Hi all! Hope you are looking forward to a great weekend!
August 4 is a pretty important day in the Northern part of the state - we
have three resolutions coming for a vote! If you know folks in the following
areas, please forward this info to them. Contact people are next to each
location:
Marianna (in Jackson County): Contact: Kim Ross -
<mailto:kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Monticello (in Jefferson County): Contact Amy Datz:
<mailto:amaliedatz@xxxxxxx> amaliedatz@xxxxxxx
Fernandina Beach (in St. Johns County): Contact John Debus:
<mailto:johnrdebus@xxxxxxxxx> johnrdebus@xxxxxxxxx
All three meetings are at 6pm in their time-zone
If you know of other resolutions or ordinances coming up, please let me know
and I will put it on our spreadsheet
The good news is - Amy Datz did the calculations, and we are currently at
29% of the state population being represented by cities or counties that
have voted for a statewide ban on fracking. And we do have some major
municipalities being worked on in the next few months!
Finally, we are working on our next call - we believe we have a surprise
guest that is very exciting. but I'm gonna keep it a surprise, and not jinx
it, until we have it solidified ;)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks!
Kim
