Jamie Henn & Cherri Foytlin Jamie Henn, Tarsandsaction.org join Thom after getting out of jail. More arrests in front of the White House this week as demonstrators continue their push-back against the proposed TransCanada oil pipeline. Since Monday more than 160 people have been cuffed in protests. The project - mostly pushed for by oil oligarchs in Texas - will create a massive pipeline across America stretching from Canada to Texas - that will funnel 700,00 barrels of highly toxic crude every day across some of America’s most treasured and pristine lands. Protesters of the project describe it as: “A fifteen hundred mile fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the continent, a way to make it easier and faster to trigger the final overheating of our planet" President Obama can stop the project on his own with the stroke of a pen - and environmental activists around the country - many of whom believed President Obama’s promises to heal the planet and voted for him - are hoping he doesn’t turn their back on the them now

1. Rec'd, to zero?

Are we now against environmental protection on the 'left'?

Good for those people. I read in another OP today that President Carter spent two nights in jail for his part in the demonstrations.

3. With some of the remarks that I've seen here lately,

I'm afraid that the answer to your inquiry is affirmative.

Sad isn't it???
