They got rid of Hickenlooper, in large part because of fracking. Now they're turning on their local political sellouts who just can't quit their fossil extractors.

They're ruining that state's natural resources by worshipping mammon.

The environment is one of her chief concerns. She even traded in her gas powered car. Thanks! I'll have to ask, but I think I already know the answer - she's definitely "one of us..."

Breaking News:

" ' We just spoke with water protectors on the ground in Taos, NM where Buck Johnston is taking part in a non-violent direct action on top of a drill.

"Our biggest thing is, not just the water, but also less than 100 miles away is Los Alamos, NM, where a lot of nuclear waste is stored.

This drilling could really shake our Mother up, so if they hit a glitch, we could get an earthquake. We also have active volcanoes here. What Buck is doing is for everybody.' --Kristin Gemma Ra'Star DiFerdinando

This action is in response to the implementation of the Abeyta Settlement, which is a water rights agreement including the drilling of deep-aquifer wells.

Johnston plans to be on top of the drill until Sunday. Unicorn Riot will be reporting from on the ground starting on Saturday."

Unicorn Riot likes to be there on the ground for as many fracking protests as possible.

Coloradans might consider getting them on board with activities in their state.
