During an impromptu rally Monday morning yards away from where the anti-drillers had voiced their opinion with Democrats leading the discussion, Green Party candidates rallied for votes — and for a ban on hydro-fracking.

Howie Hawkins, gubernatorial candidate, and Cecile Lawrence of Apalachin, who is running for Kirsten Gillibrand’s U.S. Senate seat, declared a vote for them would be a vote for a ban on fracking.

Lawrence declared she was fed up with Democrats, dubbing them “Republicans light,” and urged environmentalists to vote for Green Party candidates.

“We’re in a fight for our lives,” she said. “We’re up against the biggest companies in the world — and we’ve got to beat them!”
