I sent this letter to Obama a month ago:
Dear President Obama,
I am writing today to urge you to authorize the building of the Keystone XL pipeline as quickly as possible. Here’s why:
1. This nation’s economy floats on a sea of energy, most of it produced through the use of fossil fuels.
2. We are going to be using fossil fuels for at least another 50 to 75 years – this provides secure future supplies.
3. The Canadian oil sands will be produced.
4. If we don’t buy the oil, China and other nations will buy it.
5. Building the pipeline will create badly needed jobs and investment in this country.
6. Securing this supply of oil will contribute to our national security.
7. Availability of oil from an ally will help keep oil prices and inflation low.
8. This oil, when refined into usable products, will provide badly needed tax revenue for the government.
9. Based on the foregoing facts, this project is a true necessity for our nation.

Please approve the pipeline as soon as possible.

Now if 50,000 more would send a letter, maybe it would get his attention.
