President Obama stood up to Big Oil today when he refused to sign the deal on the KeystoneXL tar sands pipeline that was slated to dissect our country as it carried oil from Canada to New Orleans. Environmental activist Robert Redford penned an article today that ran on Huffington Post saying, The president stood up to Big Oil and listened to Americans saying: "We're done with fossil fuel schemes that destroy our land, poison our water and wreak havoc with our climate so that oil companies can make out like bandits." Now we need to continue to stand with the president and make it clear that tar sands pipelines are not in our national interest.
I am at a loss for words. I have been working on the Baaken project in Williston, ND for the past year and have been amazed at all the jobs created. It has been an unimaginable experience, and to decline this Keystone pipeline is absolutely UN-American. I have no more faith in our president. What in God's name is he trying to do to us??????? Huge cause for concern..
