Fort Worth's Top Rated Rabble Rouser, Don Young's, continuing Don Quixote-esque battle against the Chesapeake Energy windmills is going national, with incoming investigations into gas driller's dirty dealing in the Fort Worth zone, courtesy of CNN and NPR.Below is Don Quixote Young's email regarding CNN and NPR....
FWCanDo will be interviewing with correspondents from NPR (National Public Radio) and CNN next week at CanDo HQ. We will also escort them on guided tours of Dirty Ol' Town.
Both media giants just happen to be in town the same days to shine a spotlight on the multi-tentacled, Barnett Shale phenomenon.

FWCanDo is very grateful for this opportunity to remind a mass audience that not everyone in Texas is related to Jeb Clampitt or J.R Ewing or even, Tommy Lee Jones. Some of us are not blinded by money.
There are real people here who have grave reservations about natural gas extraction, production and marketing, both urban AND rural.
There are many people who believe that what's on the surface of the Earth, where we live, work and play, is just as or more valuable than the fossil fuels that lie beneath.
There are many people in Fort Worth and around the USA who are demanding that the natural gas industry abide by the same rules and laws as other industries.
It's time to end local, state and federal exemptions for a dirty, dangerous and arrogant industry that is degrading our safety, our water, our air and our quality of life.
Stay tuned and stay involved.

Hey, man, take it easy with the DQ references. I got enough problems already. Most days I feel more like Sancho Panza, who worked hard without pay. If tilting at gas wells makes me a madman then so be it. If drilling gas wells next to elementary schools and parks and apartment buildings is what sane people do then I'm in the wrong town, maybe the wrong planet. One thing about DQ: He's over 400 years old and still going strong.
National media had no time for the rural people who grow your food.
