If you don't speak out......

no one will.

Exxon declared a media blackout and No Fly Zone to prevent information from reaching the public.

This is the cost ----

"But I thought it was a done deal." So wrote a member in response to our campaign to collect 1 million public comments against Keystone XL.   But it isn't over — not by a long shot. The public comment may have closed, but the State Department has just begun to consider whether to approve Keystone XL. And thanks to you, we've given them an eyeful of things to consider. More than 5,000 individual donors chipped in to fill the metro station next door to the State Department with ads like this one. Can you back up that message by signing our petition to the State Department telling them to just say "NO" to Keystone? If not for our loud protests, Keystone XL would have been a done deal years ago. Our petitions, rallies, letters to the editor and calls have made Keystone XL a household name and gotten a million public comments against Keystone. But there was no guarantee the State Department would connect the tragic tar sands spill in Mayflower, Arkansas, last month to our comments opposing Keystone. So we made the connection impossible for them to miss by plastering it 10 feet wide on the floor and walls of the metro station where they commute every day. Click here to sign on to our effort and keep the pressure on to stop Keystone XL once and for all. Soon, the decision will be in the hands of President Obama. And it's crucial to make the link between Keystone XL and the Mayflower spill. Exxon and their Big Oil buddies know that, which is why they worked so hard to suppress these images — threatening to arrest reporters, setting up no fly zones over the spill area, and hiding the information on more than 30 toxic chemicals released into the air after their spill.*    Thanks to thousands of members like you, we've made sure the State Department can't look away from these images; now we just need your name in support to drive the message home. Will you sign on to our new joint campaign to keep the pressure on President Obama to say "No to Keystone XL?"
