24 Hours From Jail
by Bill McKibben

...President Obama, thank God, can stop this one all by himself. The endless debate about how much he’s been hamstrung by Congress doesn’t apply here; the law requires that he, and he alone, sign the necessary certificate that this is in the public interest. If he vetoes it, the pipeline can’t be built. As. Simple. As. That...

1) This is really really important. Jim Hansen, the world’s most important climatologist, has said that if we burn these tar sands in a big way it will be “essentially game over for the climate.” That’s worth reading again. The oil companies and the Koch Bros are willing to take a few years of big profits in return for cratering the planet’s climate system.

9. K&R. Which way do you think he will go?

11. I'm gonna do a wait and see on this one

10. Why the F is his veto even in question?!

THAT is the bottom line. Many of us who want so badly to back him enthusiastically ask really very little. Just would he please give us this? Do we have to beg and petition for this too?

Oh wait, this time he does.
