This is a make or break moment for our climate. A rogue group of Senators, lead by Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, are forcing a vote to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The President might veto the bill, and the legal authority of Congress to build an international climate-killing pipeline is murky, at best. But the fastest way to save our planet, is simply to kill this bill in the Senate.
Landrieu and her allies think that because several pro-environment Senators lost their seats in the Mid term elections, she can convince 60 Senators simply to give up on the climate. Help us Prove her wrong:
Use the tool on the right to enter your phone number, and our system will call you back with some instructions. When you're ready, push 1 to be connected to the Capitol switchboard and make your call. Make sure to tell your Senators' office that you want them to vote to STOP Keystone XL by any means possible - including a filibuster.
We'll keep a count of all the calls and report back to you next Tuesday when the vote is scheduled.

(205,467 posts)I'm in New York, so am very lucky when it comes to senators. Kirsten Gillibrand was also my congresswoman until 2009. Unfortunately, a really objectionable Republican was just elected to that seat, replaced the retiring Democrat, so I'm now stuck with RW representation now, too.
