Why is this man inside this pipe?
It’s because he wants us to know the size of the natural gas pipeline Chesapeake wants to put under his front yard, feet from his house on Carter Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas.
It’s because he doesn’t
want his kids to have to
play a few feet above
Chesapeake’s pipeline.For being a concerned
father & good neighbor,
what has he gotten?Dragged into court against
Chesapeake, that’s what.And if that wasn’t enough,
hassled by the city of
Fort Worth.He can’t afford an
attorney, so he’s had to
take on the suit
(and the suits)
by himself.He’s doing a great job, but he needs our help.
The judge presiding over his case could sign the order any day that would grant Chesapeake the “right” to proceed with its plans to endanger this family and all their neighbors.
So it’s time to e-mail or snail mail the judge to let him know that we know that even though something may be legal (like a giant rich corporation using eminent domain to stick a hazardous pipeline through a modest residential neighborhood where people aren’t really in any position to defend themselves), that doesn’t make it moral, or just.

These kids should not have to play over a pipeline
