Senator Van Drew -who do you represent?


Feb 20, 2014

Senator Jeff Van Drew
State House
125 West State Street
Trenton, NJ 08625-1101

Dear Senator Van Drew,

The South Jersey Gas pipeline proposal is wrong for local community,
our environment, and the clean energy future of New Jersey.  This
pipeline does not serve the needs of the Pinelands; instead the region
will see more air and water pollution from the project and little of
the electricity or gas.

The ignorance of the general public is understandable. Ordinary
citizens don't have the responsibility to educate themselves on matters
of public policy.
Elected officials have this responsibility as they make decisions that
impact people and in the Planet.

Senator Van Drew  are you aware of the frequent explosions of
gas pipelines?
Are you aware of the contamination of people's drinking water by the
fracking chemicals?
Do you realize the seriousness of Global warming?
Are you concerned about the health impact of the ultrafine particles that will be emitted 24/7/365 if BL England gets their pipeline?

You
should do some serious study of these issues before leading
this Greed driven, morally bankrupt pipeline insanity.
Christie did his evil best to bring incredible profits to SJ Gas as
well as service the fossil fuel trafficking, kingpin Koch bros in his
quest for campaign $$$.
Have you any concern for the health and well-being of your constituents
and the Planet.
Prove it if you can?
Stop perpetuating the worse stereotypes concerning your profession.

Please join NJ Governors Byrne, Kean, Florio and Whitman and a number
of your colleagues in the Legislature in opposing this pipeline and
ensuring the internationally significant Pinelands area is not
sacrificed for the convenience of a commercial energy firm.  Protect
the Pinelands region and the environment of our local community for
future generations.

Sincerely,

Dr. Steven Fenichel
2117 Bay Ave
Ocean City, NJ 08226-2741
(609) 398-1934
