President Obama, listen to the people and reject Keystone XL

Friends of the Earth calls on President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, citing widespread public opposition and the political failure of candidates who supported fossil fuel infrastructure.

• The author argues that political survival for President Obama and Senate Democrats depends on opposing the Keystone XL pipeline and other 'dirty infrastructure' rather than attempting to appease the oil industry.
• The document highlights significant public mobilization against the pipeline, including over 400,000 people marching in New York City for climate science, 50,000 people attending the 2013 Forward on Climate rally, and nearly 96,000 people pledging to risk arrest if the pipeline is approved.
