Co-Founders, Franklin Citizens for Truth

We are the co-founders of Franklin Citizens for Truth, a group formed to bring our community together to correct the misinformation on natural gas development and give a voice to landowners wanting to share their stories. We're from a rural farming community in Susquehanna County near Montrose called Franklin Township. Our township and the entire county has been blessed with plentiful natural gas and as we have watched a few activists gather support from others outside the region, and portray our community in a negative way, we felt it was time to help our neighbors voice their personal experiences about the impacts this industry has had on us.

Speaking Up

Franklin Citizens for Truth is comprised of members from both our township and neighboring ones, and it's high time our stories were heard. We've sat by for too long letting others communicate to the media and the world half-truths and outright false information about the natural gas development happening in our backyards. We won?t sit silently and watch it take place any longer. Our community is proud to be able to help our nation reduce it?s dependency on foreign energy sources. We?re proud to be a part of the solution to bring money into our community and help those farmers who were at their breaking point to hold on to their farms. Our objective is to bring our community together for two purposes: to keep them up to date on issues and supply them with information so that our township residents have the knowledge to join together and speak out against the un-truths and extremist actions brought on by activists.
