In the past couple of hours the landscape has shifted on Keystone XL. Once again, the oil-soaked House of Representatives has passed a pro-Keystone XL bill, sending it to the Senate. This is about as surprising as sunset, and a lot less pretty.
Meanwhile, overseas, President Obama has made his boldest statement on Keystone yet. Here's what he said:
“Understand what this project is: It is providing the ability of Canada to pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else.”1
Wire reports said Obama was "visibly frustrated." Welcome to the club, Mr. President.
This is a clear sign that the President is hearing your voices. Let's show that we'll have his back if he vetoes this bill and rejects Keystone XL.
Tweet to Barack Obama to ask him to stand firm on #NoKXL.
Unfortunately, the Senate is still on track to vote on a bill to force the President's hand as early as Tuesday. There's still time to push back.
HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1) Send a message to your Senator and ask 5 friends to do the same.
2) Call your Senator’s office: Call 202-224-3121 and ask for the Senators from your state.
3) If you’re on Twitter, send a message directly to these four Senators ASAP, and be sure your friends do the same:
TWEET TO SENATOR CASEY
TWEET TO SENATOR BENNET
TWEET TO SENATOR JOHNSON
TWEET TO SENATOR CARPER
Senator Mary Landrieu is forcing a vote on Keystone XL next week -- but we're not going to let her get away with it. Take action and tell your Senators to stand with the MANY, not the MONEY: http://bit.ly/NoKXLzombie
