“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men, or greedy interests, skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”

the vast majority of Houston County citizens are against Industrial Frac Sand Mining - Don't be left wondering if you could have done something

We Need Your Help Right Now. This Issue is Being Decided Now!

 
Recent polls and door knocking indicate that the vast majority of Houston County citizens are against Industrial Frac Sand Mining, but only a few people have spoken out. Some of the Houston County Commissioners lack the courage to stand up to the special interests pushing mining. They need to hear from you that you want a total ban on Frac Sand Mining in the County; they need to hear the will of the people. 
 
Houston County has appointed an ordinance writing committee that is currently writing an ordinance to permit Frac Sand Mining in Houston County. 
 

The Erickson mine permit was rushed through despite its many legal problems

Don't be left wondering if you could have done something to stop this after the bluffs are gone, environment damaged, roads destroyed, tourism hurt, water depleted, air polluted, and property values lost.
