Today, the #Boulder county commissioners totally reversed their position on #fracking & extended the moratorium for another 18 months.

was very clear to those present at commissioner's meeting that they changed course bc they were scared by talk of recalls & direct action

Corporate versus civil rights. And if the entire system is only a concept of ownership, maybe a new system needs to be created.

We aren't going to stop and this is a direct challenge to corporate power. This is the beginning of a new civil rights movement.

3. Good news, but it's no time to let up on the pressure.

Push harder, because they'll be pushing harder.

5. Love it!

Sadly, my county's commishes are utterly owned by oil/gas and are busily plotting secession to form the 51st state. Asylums everywhere are watching Weld County to learn how to better contain the inmates. . .
