'If
you think there is freedom of the press in the United States, I tell
you there is no freedom of the press... They come out with the cheap
shot. The press should be ashamed of itself. They should come to both
sides of the issue and hear both sides and let the American people make
up their minds' - Bill Moyers
"Cherish...
the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. Do not be
too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them."

Stand Up to the Keystone XL Corporate Bosses
Right now I am in Houston where people are peacefully sitting-in at the US headquarters of TransCanada. The company—which is responsible for the Keystone XL pipeline—only cares about its bottom line, not the disastrous impacts the pipeline will have on landowners, water, climate and communities living near tar sands mines and refineries.The pipeline must be stopped, that’s why protesters are disrupting business as usual in Houston.
Will you amplify the efforts of these brave protestors by tying up TransCanada’s phone lines and sending a loud and clear message?
Call TransCanada CEO Russ Girling at (403) 920-7888 right now with a respectful message: I oppose the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Note: That is a Canadian number and international toll charges may apply. After you call, tell us how it went.
You can use these talking points on the call:
- I oppose the Keystone XL pipeline because it will spill dirty tar sands oil into our water supply and soil, and cook our climate.
- I oppose the Keystone XL pipeline because its pollution will harm communities from Alberta to those near refinery sites in Houston.
- I oppose the Keystone XL pipeline because it will only serve to line the pockets of TransCanada’s CEO Russ Girling while landowners from Texas on up to the Canadian border will pay the price for TransCanada’s greed.
If you cannot reach CEO Girling or want to call a US
number, call Michael Barnes, TransCanada’s Houston Communications
Manager, at (281) 309-2099, or Transcanada’s media inquiry line, (800) 608-7859.
After
you call, tell us how it went by filling out a short survey. We’ll use
your story to keep up the pressure on TransCanada and President Obama.The protesters today are among 75,000 people who have signed the Keystone XL Pledge of Resistance to risk arrest in peaceful, dignified acts of civil disobedience demanding President Obama stop the pipeline. Rainforest Action Network, along with our partners at CREDO and The Other 98%, will continue to mobilize pledge signers in every corner of the country until the pipeline is rejected.

ELIZABETH, N.J.—JaQuan LaPierre, 22, was riding a bicycle down a sidewalk Sept. 5 when he noticed a squad car pulling up beside him. It was 8:30 on a hot Thursday night at the intersection of Bond Street and Jackson Avenue here in Elizabeth, N.J. LaPierre had 10 glass vials of crack cocaine—probably what the cops were hoping to find—and he hastily swallowed them. He halted and faced the two officers who emerged from the cruiser.
“We are tired of you niggers,” he remembers one of the officers saying. “We’re tired of all this shooting and robberies and violence. And we are going to make you an example.”
He was thrown spread-eagle onto the patrol car.
“What I bein’ arrested for?” LaPierre asked.
A small crowd gathered.
“Why you harassin’ him?” someone asked the cops. “He ain’t resisting. Why you doin’ this?”read more

2014 is one of the toughest Senate maps in a generation.
Help environmental champs win!
 |
I’m not going to sugarcoat it, L..
We
are looking at a brutal Senate map in 2014. Races in Colorado,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico and other key states are likely to
be prime targets for attacks by Karl Rove and the Koch brothers. If we
lose any of these seats, our pro-environment Senate firewall could be in
jeopardy.
But
it’s not just about the firewall. It’s also about leadership. We helped
elect all four of these champions in 2008 and they are trusted leaders
on climate change. They do the heavy-lifting on legislation, they push
the administration for action, and -- most importantly -- they don’t
back down from a fight.
We
need all four of them in the Senate for another six years and if we’re
going to win on November 4, 2014 -- we need to help them right now.
Don’t
miss this opportunity -- we need to shore up their financial resources
now, so they can get their message out there and respond to the extreme
attacks -- and believe me, those attacks are coming soon.
These
four Senators are among the strongest leaders we have on climate in the
Senate. Over the next weeks, months, and years, they will help us find
solutions to climate change and take on Big Oil -- but they can’t do it
unless we help them get re-elected.
I know you’re busy, so here’s a real quick run-down on these races:
Minnesota Senator Al Franken:
Elected in 2008 by only 312 votes, Al Franken could face a huge wave
of attacks in 2014. Senator Franken is a champ on environmental issues
and has consistently stood up to Big Oil, most recently by cosponsoring
the Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act, which would eliminate taxpayer
funded subsidies to the largest oil companies. Senator Franken’s strong
record has earned him an impressive 92% lifetime score on LCV’s National
Environmental Scorecard. Let’s get Al Franken re-elected. Donate to him and other GiveGreen candidates>>
New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen:
Jeanne Shaheen was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2008 and has served on
the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and as Chair of the
Subcommittee on Water and Power. She co-sponsored a bill to create a
national renewable energy standard. Last week the Senate started
debating her bipartisan legislation to promote energy efficient
technologies -- the first energy bill to be debated on the Senate floor
in years -- demonstrating her leadership on moving America’s energy
agenda forward. Senator Shaheen’s dedication to environmental
protection has earned her a 93% lifetime score on LCV’s National
Environmental Scorecard. Donate to Senator Jeanne Shaheen and all our GiveGreen candidates>>
Colorado Senator Mark Udall:
Since his election to the U.S. Senate in 2008, Senator Mark Udall has
worked to protect public lands and the renewable energy industry that
are so important to Colorado’s economy. Udall has introduced legislation
to extend the wind energy production tax credit, and prioritized
policies that would improve energy efficiency. Senator Udall has earned
an impressive 97% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental
Scorecard. Donate to Senator Mark Udall and all our GiveGreen candidates>>
New Mexico Senator Tom Udall:
Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2008, Tom Udall recognizes not only the
threat of climate change, but also the opportunity it presents to create
jobs and lead the world in clean technologies. He has co-sponsored
multiple pieces of legislation that would provide incentives, encourage
investment, and mandate increased usage of clean technologies. Tom Udall
has earned an excellent 96% lifetime score on LCV’s National
Environmental Scorecard. Donate to Senator Tom Udall and all our GiveGreen candidates>>
This
is one of the toughest election cycles I’ve ever seen. We may never be
able to match the amount of money that Karl Rove and the Koch brothers
can spend, but with the help of friends like you, we can make sure that
those candidates who share our values have the resources they need to
win.
Thank you so much for your support of LCV Action Fund and all our GiveGreen candidates.
