STOP KEYSTONE XL
URGENT: The Senate could vote to approve Keystone XL as early as tomorrow! Stop the bill. Take action.

Dear Carolin,
The Senate may vote as early as tomorrow to force the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, and reports suggest it could come down to a few votes.
Approving Keystone XL would open the floodgates of climate-killing tar sands crude flowing through the U.S. It would ensure more disastrous oil spills, threaten sources of drinking water for millions, disrupt wildlife, and increase rates of cancer and other health problems in Canada and in refinery communities here in the United States.
Keystone XL is all risk and no reward.
If you have any doubt who these pro-pipeline senators are working for, consider this: the senators who are supporting this bill have received $21 million in contributions from Big Oil. On average, each cosponsor of the bill has received roughly $375,000 from the oil industry.1
Together, we've kept Keystone XL from being built for five years -- keeping more than 200 million metric tons of carbon pollution out of the atmosphere to date. We've come too far to have Big Oil write a fat check and buy the approval of this dirty tar sands pipeline from the U.S. Senate.
Thanks for all you do for the environment,
Michael Marx
