Fracking-Harmed Residents Demand EPA Administrator McCarthy Drink Pennsylvania Frack Water from Their Homes After Telling Them Its Safe to Drink

..."The action came after a year of gathering over 250,000 petitions, thousands of calls, and dozens of events asking McCarthy to meet with them, following the Los Angeles Times story that revealed the Obama Administration had shut down the EPA fracking investigation that found their drinking water contamination linked to drilling and fracking operations.

“My water is brown and smells so bad it will make you nauseous, yet EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy tells me and my neighbors that this poison is safe to drink,” said Ray Kemble, a resident from Dimock, PA who was part of the EPA’s fracking-related water investigation in 2012. “To make matters worse, Gina McCarthy is promoting more and more fracking across the country, meaning my story will be shared by millions of Americans. This has to stop.""

I think they should bottle it up and also send some to Obama, and every crooked governor in the US who has been bought by the oil & gas companies, putting our lives and future generations' lives at risk for their own profit.

Drink half a litre of it and don't let her take any emetics or other treatment afterwards.
Nah, they'll probably be put on the terrorist list without a trace of irony about the toxic
substances that they are urging the administrator to drink ...

If the privileged brats who have occupied the White House over the decades had to do anything
like the unprivileged folks of their own age, they would have a completely different approach to life.

Can't see that changing (short of a "torch & pitchfork" event).
