1. Believe you will have a long wait. A little too "hot" for them to get involved...

"When the people lead....the leaders will follow"....(eventually when its safe, politically."

2. Obama visited Cannon Ball in June 2014. I hope he weighs in since the "security" has caused

injuries and harm.

7. yes he did!

He was right there.

3. Here ya go:

They support the right of all Americans to peacefully protest but deplore any lawbreaking that might occur.

4. They have all weighed in on the pipeline ... i am hoping they weigh in on the ...

... vicious attacks on protesters

[ciaobaby]

6. "Weighing in" is not enough.

The situation is escalating and their support of the Native Americans in greatly needed.
Their silence speaks volumes.

[etherealtruth]

8. I agree ... however, Obama weighing in carries some amount of authority

What I do not understand is the fact that a telecommunications tower cannot be erected without the consultation and involvement of native AMerican tribes ... how the "eff" can they buid a pipeline without involving the tribes?

10. Cause BIG OIL is all powerful

$$$$=Power. Who has all the money ?

[etherealtruth]

11. You don't have to tell me ...

telecommunications is pretty big, too ... I am truly not understanding how they have evaded tribal input

[ciaobaby]

5. They have been quiet too long. It is now shameful.

but we have one person not afraid to speak out ..

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) came out against the pipeline on Thursday, saying, “Regardless of the court’s decision, the Dakota Access pipeline must be stopped"

[etherealtruth]

9. I wish he and others would make a statement related to the violence directed at peaceful...

protesting indigenous peoples.

It would be powerful

Oprah, Where are you?

Jon, where are you?
