Many concerned citizens and members of local gas drilling activist groups gathered near the Courthouse on the Square in Denton to voice their concerns about gas drilling activities in their communities.  Many  took this opportunity to tell their personal stories about the environment, local organizing, and requests for better regulation and oversight.

Congressional Democratic candidate Neil Durrance also attended to voice his opinion that the gas drilling issue is not Democratic or Republican, liberal or conservative,  but a “people” issue and received wide applause.

The Environment and Energy Committee got some people to sign up for notifications of future events.  An upcoming organizational meeting is planned.
