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!

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
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!
