Meet the 1st Lady of Fractivism: The Woman Who Connects the Dots!

Meet the 1st Lady of Fractivism: The Woman Who Connects the Dots!

This is the first of a two-part interview with Dory Hippauf, the author of our Connect the Dots series. In part 1 we discuss how and why Dory became an activist and how it has affected her life. In part 2 next month we will discuss strategies for moving the movement forward and overcoming the obstacles in our path. Don’t miss it.

*************

Dory Hippauf is a special lady. I knew that as soon as I first laid eyes on her first submittal to CS2--Connecting the Dots: The Marcellus Natural Gas Play Players - Part 1. I was astounded to see the quality of this woman’s research. And I had

nothing but admiration for the fearlessness which she exposed the movers and the shakers behind the destruction of our environment that is otherwise known as Fracking. She laid out the facts on the rich and the powerful: Those Greed Merchants who buy our politicians and spoil our drinking water without regard to the consequences. If we had more activists like Dory who are willing to take on the corporate elite in the public sphere, as opposed to the majority of today’s so-called activists who merely want to establish relationships with the corporations representatives in order to lobby them (otherwise known as Congressmen and Representatives), we’d be much further down the road to stopping this insidious practice than we are. More on that later in another part of this issue. See my editorial: How Liberal Democrats Lost America coming in the June issue.
