President Obama stop the giveaways to Fossil Fools

This morning President Obama announced his support for the southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline. And no, unfortunately this isn’t an early April Fools joke.

It’s a hugely disappointing move, but thankfully we’re working with the Ohio Student Environmental Coalition to show our outrage with a protest at his next campaign stop at Ohio State University.

But our problem is bigger than just Ohio or Oklahoma, and it’s not limited to President Obama. That’s why we are declaring that April 1st is national Fossil Fools Day. The President’s announcement in Cushing today is just one more sign that Big Oil and the 1% have a powerful grip on our political system — and that we’ve got to do something about it, fast.

This is what we’ve been fighting for. Moments ago, the Obama Administration announced they are rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline.

When Big Oil threatened “huge political consequences”, our movement countered with a message of hope. Today, President Obama stood up for the generation that put him in office.

Today is a victory for the thousands of people across the country who summoned every ounce of courage and creativity they could muster, and resoundingly declared that our future will not be sold to the highest bidder.

Today is a big step for the planet, and it’s an even bigger step for our movement.

Post this photo to Facebook, and more importantly post it on the wall of someone who inspired you to join the movement for clean energy and the campaign against Keystone XL.

UPDATE: We blew through the 50,000 hour goal within 10 minutes! New goal is 100,000 hours!

Yesterday 12,000 people completely surrounded the White House and demanded President Obama reject the Keystone XL pipeline.

The fight for a clean energy future is a fight between special interests and people power. What we saw yesterday was an incredible demonstration on the side of people power — and now we have to build on it.
