FROM ENERGY CITIZENS ON PREZ MINDLESS' DECISION ON KEYSTONE

Please read the related stories for more information. Thanks. m.

Yesterday, the President rejected a permit to build the Keystone XL pipeline. The White House indicated they did not have enough time to thoroughly study the project—apparently, three years of study is not enough. The White House’s cynical choice puts political gamesmanship above the national interest. This decision sends a clear message to all Americans: In an election year, jobs and U.S. energy security are not the White House’s priority. Energy Citizens, energy workers, union members, and other concerned Americans have delivered hundreds of thousands of communications in support of the Keystone XL pipeline. Thank you for your efforts; we will continue to work with other supporters to make the Keystone XL Pipeline a reality. If you, like us, are outraged by this decision we encourage you to speak out and be heard. Go online and comment on news articles, write a blog, and tell your friends. Express your disappointment. The President promised to do what is right for the country, not what is electorally popular for a narrow margin of his base. That’s a promise he should keep.
