Attack on all fronts
Hopefully Obama will see the insanity of approving the Keystone pipeline, but Joe Biden states that he is in the minority in opposing the pipeline. So, just as teh Republicans added a "poison pill" (75 years of prefunded retirement benefits) in their attempt to kill the Post Office, we need to be creative in case the Obama administration approves this short-sighted, planet-killing pipeline!

Images of Thom
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
Poison Pill for Keystone Pipeline?
Congress needs to pass a law that states any products derived from the tar-sands oil shipped through the keystone pipeline can only be sold in the United States. The refineries should not be allowed to export the gasoline refined from the tar sands. If we are going to put our aquafers in jepordy, and expose our citizens to the pollution, then that "bitumin" should be taxed as oil and, at the very least, the gasoline produced must be used to end our dependence on foreign oil!
