Save Pittsburg from the oil death train

Please attend the Pittsburg City Council meeting tonight 1/6/14
6:30- 65 Civic Ave. Pittsburg
The Council is "deciding" whether to accept millions for letting fracked oil trains of over 100 tankers PER DAY, deliver tar oil and toxic chemicals to P.burg, store it in old local tank farm and refurbish an old marine terminal to allow ships to pickup and deliver fracked oil. It will also be pumped underground all the way to Martinez in very old pipes. Derailed tank cars caused toxic disasters in the US in 2013 resulting in chemical fires that burned for days which killed people and destroyed their land. This dangerous practice is now under warning and review with the DOT and still P.burg City Council is considering it for this little town of only 20,000 voters. Look up 'fracked oil derailments in Quebec and Kalamazoo, Michigan' for a grim sample of this horror. Support us - otherwise we will be in grave danger.  Attend the meeting tonite and God save us.     Thank you.      www.pittsburgdc.org
