Update, June 4: AP is reporting the government has allowed TransCanada to restart pipeline under tight restrictions. We are waiting to see the memo from DOT to confirm.

The deadline is almost here, but there is still time to weigh in and let Secretary of State Clinton know that the Keystone XL pipeline is not good for Nebraska.  As someone who grew up on a ranch in the Sandhills, I need you to stand with us and folks like Randy. You can join […]

It is time to stand with Randy…you have until June 6th to tell Sec. Clinton that, as a Nebraskan, you stand with landowners and our natural resources, not a foreign company who wants to put all of the things we care about at risk. Sign this petition, help us get to 2,000 Nebraskans! Make sure […]

Groups that have been working on the pipeline this past year applaud Senator Sullivan and the Unicameral for passing at least one bill on the pipeline this year.  However, we all agree with the senators who said that LB 629 is a small step in the many steps we need to take as a state […]

This past week, two of our federal representatives made it clear where they stand on the Keystone XL pipeline.  Instead of listening to the concerns of Nebraskans, they are both sponsoring bills that would speed up the permiting process.

Thank you to every citizen and landowner that continues to stand up for our land and water.

Clinton that they each have a key role in protecting our land and water […]
