45 days to tell Pres. Obama to reject #Keystone XL #nokxl

Dear Friend,

On Friday, the State Department launched a 45 day public comment period on
their latest sham review of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

The clock is now ticking on what will likely be our last chance to
officially weigh in on the "game over for the climate" tar sands pipeline,
before the President makes his decision later this year.

The recently released Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
that is the subject of these comments is a cynical sham that ignores the
pipeline's significant risks.

We need a response that will make clear to the Obama administration that
Americans oppose the Keystone XL pipeline. Please join me in urging
President Obama to stop the sham reviews and reject Keystone XL:

Tell Your Senators to Reject Keystone XL Now

The U.S. Senate could vote as early as Tuesday to force President Obama to build the disastrous Keystone XL pipeline.

We urgently need your help to make sure that doesn’t happen.

The 1,700-mile pipeline would, every day, carry up to 35 million gallons of oil strip-mined from Canada’s “tar sands” -- some of the dirtiest, most climate-hostile fuels on the planet. One leading climate scientist says Keystone XL will be “game over” for our ability to avoid a climate catastrophe.

It would also cut through rivers, streams, and wildlife habitat for at least 20 imperiled species, including whooping cranes and pallid sturgeon.

If we’re going to stop Keystone XL in its tracks, we need to show massive opposition. Right now that means calling on your senators to reject an amendment that cuts the public out of the process and immediately allows Keystone XL to move forward.
Keystone XL is not worth the staggering risks to people, wildlife and a healthy climate.

Tell Eric Holder: Nobody is above the law

Dear Friend,

Not one of the Wall Street crooks who drove our economy off a cliff has
gone to jail. And now we know why.

For the country's top law enforcement official, Attorney General Eric
Holder, "too big to fail" has now become "too big to jail."

Shockingly, Attorney General Holder recently admitted as much, saying:

"I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so
large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are
hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal
charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps
even the world economy."

Nobody in our country is above the law. But apparently Attorney General
Holder has lost sight of that.

Tell Attorney General Holder: "It's your job to prosecute criminals. If
you can't bring yourself to prosecute Wall Street crooks, you should
resign."

Your last Amazon.com order

Dear friend,

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, is a proposed law that would give companies unprecedented power to hand your personal information from the internet, including from private communications, over to government agencies without a warrant.

When CISPA first showed up last year, we successfully defeated it together--so we need to remind President Obama about this dangerous threat to our personal privacy.

I just signed a petition calling on President Obama to tell Congress he intends to veto CISPA. Will you join me?

Thanks.

Label genetically engineered food? Absolutely.

People across the country are working hard to pass GE labeling laws, and a federal bill is in the works. But corporations like Monsanto are working just as hard to block each and every initiative.

Will you join me in taking a stand to label GE food? We have a right to know what we're eating, and how it's been grown.

Congress: Issue Subpeonas for the #Drone Strike Memos - #drones

Hi,

I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives, The
United States Senate, and President Barack Obama which says:

"Congressional committees should issue subpoenas for the legal memos
justifying the use of drone strikes outside any traditional theater of
war, including those that target American citizens, if the
Administration will not disclose this information to Congress
voluntarily."
