President Obama: Veto the Keystone XL Pipeline
Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.
The proposed Keystone XL Pipeline poses a grave threat to our environment and the natural resources our economy depends on to succeed. Please commit to vetoing any harmful legislation that would move this project forward.
Instead, let’s redouble our efforts to address climate change and invest in infrastructure that makes America’s economy stronger for the long-term.
Why is this important?
The Keystone XL Pipeline would accelerate climate change and put the environment at risk, but Republican Congressional leaders are pledging to send legislation approving the project to the President’s desk in the next Congress.
We need to stand together and stop it before we’re too late.
Climate change is already harming the farms, forests and other natural resources our economy depends on, and this project will only make climate change worse. The Keystone XL Pipeline will take the dirtiest fuel source in the world – tar sands oil from Canada – across America to the Gulf Coast. We need to be burning less carbon, and keeping the dirtiest forms of carbon in the ground but this project is wrong on both counts.
Not only that, but it won’t do anything to reduce oil prices in America – the Keystone XL is about shipping oil from Canada to China, through a pipeline that puts our land and water at risk.
That’s a tradeoff that isn’t good for anyone, and it’s why were calling on the President commit to veto any harmful legislation that would approve Keystone XL. We need your voice. Sign the petition!
