This is it! Our eight brave blockaders just climbed 80 feet into trees in
the path of Keystone XL construction, and pledged not to come down until
the pipeline is stopped for good. TransCanada workers are starting to
arrive on the scene. We'll be tweeting and live blogging as today's action
unfolds so please help spread this story and stay tuned to our social media

I�m a rollin� stone all alone and lost,
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I pass by all the people say "Just another guy on the lost highway"
--Hank Williams

Some will rob you with a six-gun
And some with a fountain pen.
--Woody Guthrie

"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our
being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers,
government and corporations, "thus far and no further." If we do not, we
shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoroeau, that good but
overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, "If I repent of
anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

--Ed Abbey

"Talk is cheap...It is the way we organize and use our lives everyday that
tells what we believe in."
--Cesar Chavez
