Freedom from Oil Action Camp
America has a deadly addiction to oil. We now devour twenty-five percent of
the planets petroleum. *Our dependence* spawns resource wars that breed
hatred and put our young people in harms way. It *wreaks chaos with our
climate,* creating Super-Storms that take thousands of lives and destroy
communities. It threatens front-line indigenous communities that live in
oil-rich regions around the world.
The *technology exists* now to safely transition away from the fossil fuel
paradigm. Yet Big Oil has squelched the debate by using it's Big Bucks to
capture our political and electoral processes. It's high time for *"We the
People"* to free our society and the planet from the tyranny of oil.
