Stop the Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline

Join Interfaith Power and Light, Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, League of Conservation Voters, Friends of the Earth, Center for Biological Diversity, Earthjustice, Greenpeace USA and more than two dozen other concerned organizations in opposing H.R.1938 (aka the Terry Bill) which would expedite the approval of the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline which would cut across six U.S. States. The Keystone XL pipeline would benefit oil companies at the expense of the American people and our natural resources.  The Keystone I pipeline has already spilled twelve times in it's first year of operation.


Contact Representatives Ben Chandler and John Yarmuth and encourage them to vote against H.R. 1938.
