A Presidential Decision That Could Change the World!

  • February 12, 2013

We’re 1 Signature AWAY!

This might be the most important weekend for the future EVER! Up to 1,000 activists from the Valley are heading to Washington D.C. this Sunday to participate in the Forward On Climate Rally to send the message to Obama and John Kerry that we don’t want these climate destroying tar sands, that they should reject the toxic Keystone XL tar sands pipeline and consider their legacies… because we are.

Michael T. Klare, author of “The Race For What’s Left: The Global Scramble for the World’s Last Resources”, explains in “The Strategic Importance of Keystone XL” how if President Obama shoots down the Keystone XL pipeline, it might be GAME OVER for the tar-sands industry. It’s time to turn up the heat on this do nothing government!  Act Up!! Head to DC this weekend and do your part.

Could KXL, if built, make the Koch Bros an extra $3 billion annually?

50 > 50 x 50

Why 50 Over 50 x 50?
We call this effort 50 over 50 x 50 because we believe that we boomers and others over 50 years old have the means and the responsibility to get organized and that a few dozen of us in each of the 50 states (50×50) can tip public opinion in favor of action if we are prepared to speak out, risk arrest and occasionally spend some time in jail.

Nurses Oppose Keystone XL Pipeline!

[quote]On July 25, 2010, a tar sands oil pipeline ruptured near Marshall, Mi. The diluted bitumen traveled 40 miles down the Kalamazoo River to Morrow Lake. More than a month later, health providers reported 145 patients with symptoms associated with the spill. State officials surveyed 550 people from communities along the river and found 53 percent of the residents reported health problems – headaches, nausea and respiratory ailments.[/quote]

Directly seeing the impact on the health of their neighbors, National Nurses United have joined with others opposing the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Thank you nurses!
