Care2 Petition: Ask President Obama To Shut Down the Tar Sands Pipeline! (415 hits)

Right now, oil companies are violently strip-mining the world's dirtiest oil in Canada's Boreal forest -- our continent's greatest songbird nursery. The resulting devastation could ultimately claim some 160 million migratory birds -- including many of the songbirds we love seeing and hearing every summer.

Tell President Obama it's time to intervene before it's too late. » Take action link: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AgNov/zl_w/bdI...


A shocking industry plan would drive even MORE destruction of the Boreal while threatening the US with environmental havoc. The Keystone XL pipeline would transport raw, toxic tar sands oil right through the American heartland -- from Montana to Texas -- endangering sensitive ecosystems and fresh water for millions of Americans.

This continent-wide disaster is designed with one goal in mind: boosting oil company profits. Everyone else loses.

The State Department is rushing to approve this project. Please tell President Obama that if the State Department isn't going to be responsible, then he must. »

Thank you for taking action!
