[Peace-discuss] 350.org "closing argument" anti-Keystone XL action in DC 4/27

[Robert Naiman]

I bet there will be buses from Chicago...Stuart, didn't you take a bus from
Chicago before? Wasn't it like $100?

PS I love the name "Cowboy Indian Alliance." That's really clever. :)

Friends,

We've been fighting the Keystone XL pipeline for years now, but President
Obama is expected to make his decision in just a matter of weeks.

*The bravest, boldest and smartest people fighting this pipeline are
mobilizing to send a powerful message in the key last week of April *-- one
that I hope will be difficult for the President to ignore -- and they're
inviting everyone to join
them<http://act.350.org/go/4849?t=2&akid=4339.572422.DqWoLz>
.

*Here's the plan for the action, called Reject and Protect:*

*First, on April 22nd, the Cowboy Indian Alliance -- a group of tribal
communities, ranchers and farmers from along the pipeline route -- will
ride into DC on horseback, past the White House, and set up camp on the
National Mall.* They'll raise tipis, burn sage, and for five days they will
hold ceremonies and demonstrations to make sure President Obama sees the
true cost of approving the pipeline.

*Then on April 27th, they have invited their allies in the climate movement
to join them for our closing argument against Keystone XL.* Once more, the
Alliance will ride past the White House, this time joined by more people
who would be breathing and drinking Keystone XL's pollution if it were
built, and thousands more of us ready to see the pipeline stopped.

This might very well be our last chance to join hands against Keystone XL
before the President's decision. *This isn't the time to sit out. I want
you to be there with me. Will you? Click here to RSVP for the Reject and
Protect march on April 27th.
<http://act.350.org/go/4849?t=3&akid=4339.572422.DqWoLz>*

*President Obama has the evidence he needs to stop the pipeline.* The
nation's top scientists have said that Keystone XL is a climate disaster,
and the only evidence to the contrary has been deeply tainted by the stain
of Big Oil's money.

And that is what it comes down to: the voices of farmers, ranchers, tribal
communities, folks breathing refinery pollution, scientists, and everyone
concerned about their future, versus Big Oil's money and greed.

We'll have more pipelines and more projects to fight after this one. But
next month we will show the President that organized people can beat
organized money -- and that he needs to tell us which side he's on.

Let's do this,

Rae
