As the White House moves ever so slowly toward a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, some environmental groups used Monday Earth Day to remind the president that approval of the massive project would carry real consequences.
Youll see
the biggest spread of peaceful civil disobedience in modern American history, said Becky Bond, political director of the liberal activist group Credo. The organization has been among the loudest opponents of the proposed pipeline, which would carry oil sands from Alberta, Canada, south through the U.S. heartland to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
Credo helped organize a San Francisco rally earlier this month as President Obama visited the city for a Democratic party fund-raiser. The group says it has nearly 60,000 activists willing to get themselves arrested in protest of Keystone, if its approved by the administration.

We have "massive civil disobedience" now.
The people sounding this alarm haven't seen the tip of the iceberg.
Just wait until the minority of people actually paying taxes in this country just stop doing it.

I guess they like $5 gas and even more unemployment. The arabs have to be underwriting these groups.

We are assuming he will approve the pipeline? I think people underestimate the truly evil nature of Barack Obama.

Exactly and we had better be willing to oppose it if he tries to attach green stupidity to it.
