Hillary’s new running mate?
Hillary Clinton spent 20 years testifying before Congress yesterday, so little attention was given to her endorsement of a radical Colorado amendment to kill the oil and gas industry through so-called local control.
The report in Politico yesterday highlighted comments Hillary made at a recent town hall meeting in New Hampshire about the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Clinton also responded to a question about fracking by reiterating her position that gas is a valuable “bridge” to wean the economy off coal and oil. But she added that it was important to empower local government to reject fracking in their borders.
“There are some places in the country where this extraction technology may be appropriate,” Clinton said. But, she added, “We should also never preempt states and localities from saying no.”
Notice she had nothing to say about preempting states that regulate the industry, from actually saying yes.
She says natural gas is a great tool to kill the coal and oil industry, it’s just that she doesn’t want to develop energy in towns where outside agitators would pretend to be locals in order to kill it.
We imagine that Cliff Willmeng is killing trees even as we write this, to produce new signs and bumper sticker declaring Hillary’s endorsement of his campaign to pass the Colorado Community Rights Amendment.
Hillary is the perfect poster child for the economic damage these fractivists hope desperately to inflict upon us.
We hope they’re happy together.
We can’t wait to hear where her two top supporters in the state stand on the issue of the amendment. Will U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Gov. Hickenlooper back her endorsement? Or as her advisors, were they the ones who told her to side with Willmeng in the first place?
So here we have Mohamed, the industry mouthpiece, reaching out in desperation to discredit a community rights activist and supporters that stand up to challenge the oil and gas industry. The same dirty industry attacking our state with relentless, destructive fracking.
Mohamed and his right wing bullies are worried that when Colorado voters throw state pre emption under the bus their toxic fracking deeds and the dirty money it generates will come to an end. Eliminating state pre emption allows local communities to self govern and that is the bully pulpits worst nightmare.
For crying out loud Colorado community rights IS LOCAL! Your pathetic myth of outside agitators is drivel. People in this movement reside in Lafayette, Broomfield, Ft Collins, Severance, Denver, Westminster, Erie, Boulder … We are the movement, we are the folks protecting our communities.
We have no big pocket donors, no high dollar PR campaigns pouring millions into media propaganda spreading false truths. Your insults and vitriol will not break the movement.
Just my two cents, I love that cliff is giving the finger.
Well Hillary is from New York (sort of) where the state banned fracking, after a huge number of cities and towns first did. So she knows it can work just fine.
A person is known by their enemies! Great pic, Cliff!!
Cliff I open your post and see you flipping me off. is this how you choose to represent yourself. Is this a way to win friends and influence people ? How about an open hand to welcome people in to read your post ? Take the angry picture off and bring supporters in .
Almost funny.
