President Obama rejected the proposal to develop the
Keystone XL Pipeline that would transport toxic dirty tar sands across our
country from Canada to Texas due to the lack of necessary environmental and
safety reviews. This project threatens our environment, waters supplies,
agriculture and public health. This Week the Senate is expected to vote on an
amendment sponsored
by Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) that would force approval of the pipeline.
It would bypass our nation’s long-standing environmental review
process and give Congress the unprecedented authority to hand out permits on
massive projects.
