<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Helvetica">My name is Chelsea and I am an intern with Environment
Massachusetts, the statewide environmental advocacy organization. We are
currently working on a campaign to ban fracking here in MA. As you may or may
not know, a recent U.S. Geological Survey report identified gas deposits in the
Pioneer Valley area, and we are concerned that drilling companies may attempt
to frack here in the future.</span></p>

dangers of fracking. I'm trying to spread the word about this event, and I was
hoping you'd be interested in forwarding this e-flyer (displayed below) along
