Thank your state legislators for voting YES on the Oil & Gas Rules Bill On Wednesday morning the Colorado Senate passed House Bill 1292, which provides a broad series of new protections that will safeguard the state's public health, environment and wildlife while promoting a healthy, thriving energy industry. The new safeguards embody common-sense approaches to help protect wildlife and public health from long-term effects of drilling. HB 1292 is a critically important bill during a period of massive growth in the oil and gas industry, and its overwhelming support wouldn't have happened without leadership from the governor, your legislators, and advocates like you!

This is a strong bill that addresses a growing problem and once again makes Colorado a leader in protecting the public's quality of life. When the price of gas goes back up and the projected drilling projects begin, it will be necessary that any impacts to our public health and wildlife be controlled. This bill is good for Colorado and all Coloradans. Your support of the new rules is a huge first step towards common sense solutions that protect our public health, water and wildlife. Thank you,
