**Update: At 6:54pm on Monday, groups hit the 500,000 Americans telling the US Senate no pipeline riders! Best news yet is the 500,000th person was a Nebraskan. More on that person soon! We are blowing by that goal and now hoping for 600,000, sign the petition and pass it around!** Congressional Republicans’ attempts to revive […]

Sign the Petition Bold is joining almost 40 national and state advocacy organizations and businesses that are planning a massive online day of action on Monday to oppose efforts to overturn President’s Obama’s decision and resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline. We’re calling it “24 Hours to Stop the Pipeline,” and our goal is to send […]

Update 2/14: After lots of calls and grassroots actions, Sen. Schumer has confirmed he will oppose any KXL ammendments! “Senator Schumer will be voting against the proposed amendment that includes Keystone XL and is working with Majority Leader Reid to defeat the amendment.” –Martin Brennan, state director, Sen. Schumer We need the Senate to stand strong […]

The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted to advance Rep. Lee Terry’s bill that would require Federal Energy Regulator Commission (FERC) to approve the (already denied) Keystone XL pipeline in 30 days. In short, it’s awful. We never thought we would say this, but we actually miss the days when Lee Terry did nothing on […]

In yesterday’s House markup meeting on Lee Terry’s pipeline bill, we noticed that Rep. Terry liked to mention how the NRDC and Sierra Club asked President Obama to stop Keystone XL. But Terry nevers mentions that thousands of Nebraskans and our own Governor Heineman also asked the President to deny the permit. Terry’s selective memory […]

Nebraskans know the Congressional Republicans are trying to use the KXL pipeline against President Obama. Nebraskans know better and know the President did the right thing by denying the Keystone XL pipeline. Using false arguments about jobs and energy security, Congressional Republicans think they can take Obama down a notch or cost him the whole […]

Randy Thompson, a Nebraska landowner, and retired Brigadier General Steven Anderson will testify before the House Energy & Power Subcommittee about the Keystone XL pipeline, Friday at 9am CT. We’ll be livetweeting the hearing @BoldNebraska. You can watch the livestream online and members of the press should be able to patch audio and any clips through that stream. […]

Sen. Johanns’ and Rep. Terry’s support for Congressional bills that would force approval of the (already denied) Keystone XL pipeline not only goes against Nebraskans’ concerns about our land and water, but it is also a fruitless endeavor akin to chasing Moby Dick. President Obama denied TransCanada’s permit request to build the Keystone XL pipeline which […]

Editor’s note: This story written by Curtis Brainard originally appeared on the Columbia Journalism Review‘s site on January 24th, 2012. God help the poor news consumers of America, especially the would-be voters. President Obama’s decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline last week incited a new wave of coverage and speculation about how many jobs the line would create. Unfortunately, many outlets are […]

As a registered Republican for over forty years I am appalled at the course of action that my party has chosen to take in regards to the Keystone XL pipeline. The Republicans have decided it’s time to hit the accelerator and ram this project through even without a full and unbiased assessment of its effects […]
