This is the kickoff of a series of four events to be held up and down the length of the proposed PennEast Pipeline to demonstrate to PennEast LLC and UGI Corporation that their project is unneeded, unwanted, and that their easement offers are unacceptable. In growing numbers landowners have been voicing their resolve against the threat of eminent domain and their opposition to this unnecessary project. Continued efforts by PennEast to try to intimidate landowners into agreements- have been unwavering. In a fight for their lands and their lives, property owners will be tearing up their easement offers -to make it clear to PennEast- that there is No Deal.

For more information or to make arrangements to have a speaker from ================================================================= FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Marcellus Shale Reality Tour heads to Dallas (PA) For more information or to make arrangements to have a speaker from ================================================================= FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information or to make arrangements to have a speaker from ================================================================= FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Statement Presented by GDAC VP Diane Dreier About 5 years ago, a handful of citizens from the Back Mountain area of northeastern Pennsylvania became concerned about unconventional gas wells that were scheduled to be drilled in their communities. Gas industry representatives were holding informational meetings for elected officials and residents in affected municipalities. Many residents came away from those meetings with grave concerns about the effects of unconventional gas drilling on the environment and on public health. Those concerned citizens formed the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition, known as GDAC, whose mission is to educate the public about the negative environmental consequences of natural gas extraction, processing and transportation. GDAC, at all times, conducted itself in a lawful and peaceful manner, with members using their First Amendment Rights to provide educational information to the public. Thats why it was so surprising to learn, that in 2010, GDAC was mentioned in several intelligence bulletins issued by the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response, an Israeli-American Security Firm, under contract to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agencys Office of Homeland Security. As Philly.Com reported on 09/22/10: The bulletins came to light after Powers (former Director of Pennsylvania Homeland Security) mistakenly sent a woman opposed to natural gas drilling an e-mail that said he wanted to "continue providing support to the Marcellus Shale Formation natural gas stakeholders while not feeding those groups fomenting dissent" against drillers. According to a report in Penn Live on November 7, 2010, Regular readers of the bulletins could easily begin to view activists as a threat. The bulletins freely mixed references to actual terrorist activity abroad with warnings about the non-violent, lawful activities of Pennsylvania citizens. We agree with former Governor Rendell that this conduct by the Pennsylvania State Government was tantamount to trampling on our constitutional rights. We believe that collecting and disseminating information about groups that are engaged in lawful activities, and especially labeling those groups as potential terrorists, can and does have a chilling effect upon the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution that we all hold so sacred. That is the reason that the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition decided to file this lawsuit in December of 2011.
