WATCH: Nebraska rancher Randy “Stand with Randy” Thompson says thank you to Pres. Obama on behalf of Pipeline Fighters everywhere.
VICTORY!! President Obama just announced that he has REJECTED the permit for TransCanada’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline.
Instead of siding with Big Oil, the President chose to stand with farmers, ranchers, tribes and Pipeline Fighters everywhere working to protect our land, water and climate for our grandchildren.
Click here to co-sign our #NOKXL THANK YOU letter to President Obama.
The letter reads:
“Mr. President, families from all across America thank you for protecting our land and water by rejecting the risky Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Your decision is courageous and historic. You did what was right in the face of a totally misguided and unrelenting effort by the Republican party and Big Oil to shove this pipeline down our throats.
Clearly, through all the hype and lies you have heard the voices of the American people and you have chosen to stand with us.
Your actions are proof that you value clean air, clean water, and a stable climate above corporate profits and campaign contributions.
Your decision will come as a tremendous relief to landowners who have anxiously watched as the Republicans have time and again tried to throw our property rights under the bus.
President Obama, history will defend you, and our descendants will forever be indebted to you.
Sincerely,
The Pipeline Fighters”
