Otero Mesa Update

NEWS
---------
The Otero Mesa website has a new addition!
Check out the new "Well Site of the Week" section by clicking the following link or copying it and then pasting it in your web browser:
https://www.oteromesa.org/wellsiteoftheweek.htm
The purpose of this section is to continually provide the public with photos of oil and gas development in southeastern New Mexico on public lands. These photos testify to the fact that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the oil and gas industry have a very poor tract record of "environmentally sensitive" drilling operations.

The "Protect our Public Lands Rally!" was a tremendous success last Saturday. Over 700 people attended the event. All three local television stations came, as well as many of the major newspapers. Most importantly though, people made it clear to us that they wanted us to fight and never give up with this administration. What people asked the most for was civil disobedience training so they could block roads or occupy offices of elected officials. People understand what is happening and when it comes to Otero Mesa, Valle Vidal and the Arctic Refuge they are ready to go to the next level.
Stay Involved, Your Voice is making the Difference!
