President Obama got an invite from 18 US Senators, including Senator Johanns (R-NE), asking him for a meeting to approve the Keystone XL export pipeline.

The Grinch and Cindy Lou Who will visit Gov. Heineman’s mansion on Dec. 24th (1425 H Street, Lincoln) at noon to ask the Governor the following: 1) Don’t flip flop on protecting the Aquifer, deny the proposed route. 2) Honor our families legacies who gave their sweat and determination to homestead the land that is […]

Last week I went on Huffington Post Live with landowners Julia and Gabe as well as General Anderson for a “boots vs suits” discussion.

You […]

This won’t be your typical lecture. The Do the Math tour–coming to Omaha on Dec. 1st--will be unique and an interactive experience, unlike any talk you’ve been to before.

We are also showing the “Our Land” TV ad […]

Some big things are happening right now that underscore the importance of our fight against the KXL pipeline. TransCanada had to shut down (again) Keystone I and they are being scrutinized by Canadian officials for safety violations.  The last of the Presidential debates came and went without climate change being discussed for the first time […]

On August 21, the Nebraska Public Service Commission released its Third Set of Proposed Rules in regards to the Major Oil Pipeline Siting Act–a law that our state leaders made TransCanada exempt from following (unless the Citizen Lawsuit against LB 1161 is successful). Some highlights of the revisions include: PSC includes a definition of a […]

On August 25th, in Grand Island, Deb Fischer and Bob Kerrey will have their only scheduled debate for the US Senate (although we hear Kerrey accepted invite to debate Fischer on Fox News and she has not responded yet). *Landowners, citizens and groups will hold a Press Conf at 3:15pm in the parking lot before […]
