Tell Secretary Clinton to Stop the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline

From Change.org: We have started to take a step forward towards a clean energy economy, but Canadian tar sands oil and the Keystone XL pipeline would be two steps backwards.

Water and Oil Don’t Mix: Stop the TransCanada Pipeline

From BOLD Nebraska: Don’t let TransCanada take advantage of our state. The pipeline is NOT a done deal. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has not yet decided if she will grant a presidential permit to TransCanada. We all know, it’s not “if” a leak happens, its “when” it happens. The recent Gulf Coast spill shows mistakes are made. Your action can help stop the pipeline from polluting our water and land.
