Lobbying Post 3
Chaka Fattah supports the Clean Energy Act which would say that he is supportive of the anti-fracking movement, however he is a governmental figure and fracking brings in money which is probably why he doesn't make a direct stand quite yet. However it isn't just him it’s many Philadelphia representatives are staying quiet on the issue because the people whom are sincerely benefiting from fracking are these big oil companies. To be honest these companies are actually the ones support and fund these campaigns of our officials. Not to mention that government has had a history to have been involved with these businesses which would explain the Dick Chaney loop hole that basically negates the Safe Water Drinking Act. However the EPA said they would “weigh rules” on chemicals in fracking.
The people would be the most essential to turning this thing over because the people are everything in America. If this truly is a government by the people for the people our officials should not allow this to happen to us. Even if the officials aren't for the people they are definitely for themselves and keeping their jobs. The people are the biggest power that I would need for this issue and that could sway any political democratic political leader. There is an anti-fracking movement, but the fact they aren't big in the media tells me they aren’t big at all. There was a event November 3rd called "No Fracking Way," which had a pretty good turnout which is great however I've heard very little since then and I don't know if they are in collaboration with anti-fracking movement.
