Fracking Hillary.

Hah. I can't make this stuff up. I expect to find much information about this so called group.

This doesn't seem coordinated at all.

Regardless should be fun watching an environmental group support a candidate who supports fracking us and has supported it all over the world. Oh and refused to make a pledge not to. Like Bernie did.

verb

1. break something by forcing it inward or piercing it roughly.
2. avert or delay something bad or dangerous.

A loaded word and they could have put the phrase "try to" into that headline but that would have sounded too much like this is a 50/50 race for the MSM.
