Note: It’s important that we show support and gratitude when our public servants act on behalf of the common good in defending the environment. Plese join me in sending Senator Shatz a BIG thank you for opposing Keystone XL!
Despite a veto threat from President Obama and the dangers of exposing communities and drinking water sources to disastrous tar sands oil spills, the first priority of the GOP leadership in Congress is a bill forcing approval of the dirty and dangerous Keystone XL pipeline.
This bill completely undermines the entire environmental review process and expands the development of the dirtiest oil on the planet. This pipeline threatens our climate, our waters, and our communities.
Thankfully, Hawaii’s Senator Brian Schatz spoke against this bill and even filed an amendment that would force his colleagues to go on record as whether they accept or deny the scientific consensus that climate change is happening and caused by man-made emissions.
Send him a quick thank you note to show your support.
