<H1><FONT size=5>Stop the Keystone Pipeline - Don't Just Delay
It</FONT></H1>
<UL class=description_stats>
<LI><STRONG>Target:</STRONG> President Barack Obama</LI>
<LI><STRONG>Sponsored by:</STRONG> <A

citizen.</A></LI></UL>
<P><SPAN id=overview_trunc>Keystone XL is a pipeline proposed by
TransCanada. It would carry dirty oil from the tar sands in Canada to
Texas for refinement.<BR><BR>The Keystone XL pipeline could mean
disaster for the environment. Tar sand oil is the world's most harmful
type of oil for the atmosphere.<BR><BR>A spill could contaminate
drinking water for 2 million people and would have significant
consequences for wildlife and the environment. The pipeline would also
increase pollution and co2 emissions, destroy wildlife habitat, and may
even increase US gas prices.<BR><BR>Jim Hansen, head of the the NASA
Goddard Institute for Space Studies and a climatologist, says if the tar
sands are used, it would be "essentially game over" for the
climate.<BR><BR>But instead of stopping the pipeline, Obama has simply
delayed the decision until after the 2012 presidential
election.<BR><BR>Please tell the President that you would like him to
stop the pipeline now, instead of waiting until he is re-elected (or
leaving it up to the next president if he is not).</SPAN> </P></DIV>
