Obama came out and said no jobs created from it, gas goes to China and we get nothing but the pollution that never goes away. We cannot stand by and just watch as a few wealthy people destroy our planet. We must stop this at all costs so add me to the roll also plus where to stand to block them.

I'll be out in street protesting against this horrible thing.

If anyone knows any ways to support them, please post them

forked tongue... That all treaties made by the US Government with any Native American tribe is law only as long as the US Government says.

by the First americans. I hope they screw up the plan(s) of the greed machine called amerikan style capitalism, badly.

of this land. More power to you in your battle against the hated pipeline. Please blow up all pipeline and all pipeline equipment that infringes upon your sovereign nation.

and visited the Rosebud Sioux both on their reservation and when they setup a protest camp in D.C..... and supposedly, the permit for TC to have the pipeline go through SD (including across the reservation) has expired, meaning TC would have to reapply for a new permit in SD (delaying it further).

because when (and sadly not if) this thing spills, it can be called "Harper's Folly."

Getting the pipeline over the Canadian Rockies would be challenging.

Thank you.

First Nations are also very much opposed. I found this article:

Thanks for the link.

and is being led by First Nations as it is their land that is needed for the pipeline.

Northern Gateway pipeline's next battle is in the courts

"This fight here in British Columbia is transitioning from the fundamentally flawed Joint Review Panel process into the courts," said Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs Grand Chief Stewart Phillip.

There are already five lawsuits challenging the findings of the joint National Energy Board and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency body that looked into the feasibility of the project.

Two of those cases were launched by environmental groups that allege scientific and legal errors made in the decision.

"If these legal challenges are successful, then they will in effect overturn the entire process and it would have to start again," said Tzeporah Berman of Forest Ethics Advocacy, a group involved in one of the lawsuits. And, in the meantime, she warns, the Federal Court of Appeal could put a moratorium on the Northern Gateway project, essentially delaying it.

The other three cases were brought by B.C. First Nations that didn't feel adequately consulted. And they are the ones that worry Ottawa the most.

It's got to go all the way down so the Koch Bros can get their cut.

The pipeline to Texas only ever made sense to Texans.

... in our Senate moot? This article sounds like Keystone XL is no more, that it will run instead across Canada and be called "Energy East." It makes absolutely no sense, whether it comes down thru the US or East across Canada. It should be run to the west coast of Canada, mountains or no mountains. Either that or leave it in the ground & just get out of the business, period.

What do you drive? Does is not run on liquid fuel? The fact is that until the almost 250 million cars in this country, stop using petrol to run those vehicles, the use and need of liquid fuel is a necessity we can't live without. Notwithstanding the thousands upon thousands of job that it brings in this country, that are directly and indirectly related to liquid fuel commodity. What you just said is one of the most elitist, deluded and stupid statement anybody can make.

As you seem to have serious lack of knowledge about how the oil and gas industry actually works....

"What you just said is one of the most elitist, deluded and stupid statement anybody can make."

There is so much opposition and it was so badly handled that the current project manager is quitting and they say the expected 2018 startup is no more. The natives have permanent blockade camps set up on their lands and they aren't letting anyone through. Broke people like me send them money to help support them when we can and if it comes time to physically be on the line there are thousands of us who have promised to be there. I believe Gateway is dead, and I hope the same for Keystone.

We are also fighting is a Kinder Morgan tarsands pipeline ending in Vancouver, this one is trickier because they already have an old one in place.

... how things go down.

Wasn't long till the Teabag House started to commit treasonous acts.

with an option to buy.

The pipeline means death for them. It is an act of War. They need to sue for peace with congress. If they need to close the border against the oil company terrorists it is only in self defense.

I know very little about them, but it would be nice if a multi-pronged campaign was started to not only make people aware that the pipeline would be going through their land, but to stop it. Social media could be a great help in doing that.

The Lame Duck Congress, one of the most dangerous times for the people.

If they need reinforcements, I would consider heading up there for a protest.

...declared WAR. Might want to bring your bow and arrow.

May prove to be of Preeminent Importance to the U.S. and Others in the coming decades.

I'm glad they see Keystone XL for the scam that it is.

"We're not going to take it anymore...".

Futile waging an actual war against the U.S. government would be.

Yeesh didn't they try this war against the U.S. already and that is why they are on reservations?

Why not just call it what it will be which is at most peaceful protest and that is only if someone in the tribe doesn't find a way to make money off of it like a casino?

Oh and I stand by them too in this War if by stand by you mean and home on my couch with a hot drink typing on du in comfort and not really standing with them by actually doing anything to stop this.

response it doesn't make the other side less guilty of an act of war.

Not sure of the govt is using Ed here but the use would be very similar.

Water is life.

Further, people under such threats have every right to stop such them by any means necessary.

...run a WATER pipeline into the reservation? My opinion, this talk about an "exestential theat" is hysterical, emotional malarkey.

As a native American of Heritage and proud of his Heritage we were give in the Constitution a right of SOVERNTITY to have our lands and we have a right to governed these lands, and when Obama was made a chief it was not just a symbol.
