Merged Idea

Preservation of fresh water, air and the environment. We must defeat the Keystone XL pipeline and make sure everyone knows how it threatens our lives. If it goes through we can kiss the largest natural aquifer in North America goodbye. We have plenty of oil but fresh water is becoming more scarce every day.

Defeat the Keystone Pipeline project, a serious risk to the environment. The dirty oil from Canada would be exported, not benefiting the U.S. in any way, unless one considers the added fortune that would go to such people as the Koch Brothers. The promise of jobs is a con from the wealthy proponents, as very few permanent jobs would result. Huge risk, no benefit.

Stop the completion of the Keystone Pipeline. There is nothing attractive or beneficial to the environment, or consumers, in this project.

I think you wanted "If it goes through, we can kiss the largest ... North America goodbye." Or something like that. Currently the verb in that sentence is simply "can kiss".

Any member of Congress that voted for the keystone XL pipeline knowing that a Canadian company is trying to destroy the largest aquifer system in our country is guilty of treason
