Please join me in telling our senators that the Keystone Pipeline must be stopped. If built, the Keystone XL Pipeline would transport dirty tar-sands oil across six states and hundreds of water bodies, making any spill an unacceptable risk.
An existing pipeline called Keystone 1 has already leaked 14 times since it started operating in June 2010, including a 21,000-gallon spill. Another tar-sands pipeline dumped 800,000 gallons of tar-sands crude into the Kalamazoo River.
This is the first time that the pipeline has had an up or down vote in the Senate. If we can block Keystone on this vote, we will be in a much stronger position to keep it bottled up in the future.
I was hoping you could send a strong message to your Senators to put a nail in the coffin of this project. There are two ways you can send a message:
One, you can make a call – just click here to get your Senators’ phone numbers.
Two: You can use Facebook and Twitter so that everyone knows they’re getting the message. Senate staff monitor these accounts closely, and they show the public how a Senator’s constituents feel about the pipeline. We set up a tool that connects you with your Senators’ Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, where you can leave a note about stopping the pipeline: Click here to send them a message on Facebook and Twitter.
