This vote today is the Koch party payback for funding their elections. We should all be telling everyone we know that the koch's are the major beneficiaries of the keystone pipeline.
We should be funding our aging infrastructure not paying for a catastrophe pipeline that will destroy our environment.

Got a hunch the Power Elite figured out they screwed up big time and there might be some very interesting things in the very near future. If you have been paying attention the last two plus weeks,were are all of the Krotch Brothers,sure have been quiet.

(53,661 posts)He has cited repeatedly that the first year's profit will double the Koch brothers' net worth and give them more power over elections. He wanted a grassroots movement to overturn Citizens United.
It has not happened, despite an amendment drafted and grassroots efforts. Constitutional amendments require a set number of states to ratify it to overcome the USSC and that requires local and state elections to get it introduced and the votes made.
He's said it's not going to benefit Americans in any way. For years. He's been stalling it since 2009 in hopes Americans would wake up and vote out the Koch funded GOP. He cannot control the states that have voted for it since they bought the Koch lies and didn't vote out the Koch brothers' ALEC lackeys in the states. They think it will give them jobs. He has repeatedly said those jobs are very few and short term.
Obama has said it will destroy the environment by adding to climate change, repeatedly. I've been posting on this for many months.
And the media does not give Obama a platform to tell the American people about this except in clips that are often edited. He does not need to 'admit' to anything to the American people, he's said it all and is not a dictator.
