Robert Redford: Sign NRDC's letter to President Obama to reject Keystone XL pipeline

[flpoljunkie]

Dear President Obama,

I have shared and supported your vision of a clean energy future for America. That's why I am so distressed that your State Department is rushing headlong toward approval of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, which could devastate the environment in both Canada and the United States. Tar sands development is laying waste to the great Boreal forest, obliterating migratory bird nesting grounds and spewing excessive global warming pollution. By transporting the world's dirtiest oil south to refineries in Texas, the Keystone XL will directly threaten drinking water supplies for millions of Americans while raising gas prices in the Midwest.

Your own EPA has called the State Department's latest review 'environmentally objectionable.' It's time for you to intervene and order Secretary Clinton to conduct the kind of 'robust review' of the pipeline that you yourself promised the American people. That review will make crystal clear that the pipeline is in the interests of oil companies but does NOT serve our national interest.

As we move toward a more sustainable future, there is no room for the dirtiest oil on the planet. Please direct your State Department to reject the Keystone XL pipeline and pursue clean energy alternatives instead.

Thank you.

5. Tried to do this, but the NRDC site locked up without acknowledging my attempt.

Likely my old computer and dial-up internets connection are to blame.

Would someone post the White House phone number again on this thread. I would be happy to call to stop this pipeline. Hell, I'd be happy to be arrested (again) in defense of Mother Earth, if I could get a ride to DC.
