Help Bring Canadian Oil to American Refineries

Who could possibly be against an economically beneficial, "shovel-ready," stable and affordable energy supply pipeline project that would create U.S. jobs and increase revenues?
The North American-Made Energy Security Act, H.R. 1938, is a directive to encourage the President of the United States to "expedite the consideration and approval of the construction and operation of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, and for other purposes."

The State Department's own study indicates that the Keystone XL project meets industry standards and does not significantly affect the environment.

To my Representative: I understand the House has already passed H.R. 1938 by 279-147 on July 26, 2011.

To my Senators: Please co-sponsor and promote this proposal that would bring a reliable crude oil source into the United States safely, which would greatly reduce our dependency on oil from dictatorships and hostile countries, and that would create over 13,000 new jobs, mostly union, and over 118,000 spin-off jobs.

The individual states the pipeline would run through would see increased tax revenues and an increase in property tax collections. The Gulf Coast refineries would have lower transport costs, which would save them approximately $473 million annually and lead to lower gas prices as a result. Support H.R. 1938, the North American-Made Energy Security Act, and help keep American cars and trucks on the road, and manufacturing more affordable and attractive.
