We always knew that the decision would ultimately come from the Oval Office. But President Obama actually owning the decision
is a huge indication that our pressure is working — and he's definitely feeling it.
Every day for more than two weeks, we've sent thousands of calls to the White House asking President Obama to reject Keystone
XL.
In the wake of this major announcement, let's make sure he knows we appreciate that he has taken ownership of the Keystone
XL decision, and strongly urge him to reject it.
Call President Obama: Stop the Keystone XL pipeline.

This should be an easy "No" for the President. But until now, he's been adamant that the decision was with the State Department,
as he allowed their sham evaluation process to move forward.
But steadily, opposition is building and he's starting to get the message about the importance of this decision.
Now, after 1,262 people being arrested outside his window, 1,000 people protesting Keystone XL outside his fundraiser last
week in San Francisco, supporters visiting OFA offices across the country, nearly 5,000 calls reported to the White House,
and fourteen Senators and Representatives calling for a formal investigation into potential conflict of interest in the State
Department's sham evaluation process, President Obama is finally showing some leadership.
But what he decides is still up in the air. Will he seize this opportunity to move America toward a better future, or will
he go back on his promise to free us from the tyranny of oil?
It's up to the President. Let's urge him to make
the right choice. Click here for an easy script and number to call.
Thank you for fighting the Keystone XL Pipeline.
