Dear Fellow Republicans,
Obama’s administration has spent the last 1,960 days studying the
potential impact of the Keystone XL Pipeline. This is the fifth
environmental report on the pipeline that the State Department has
done. This report, which was published last Friday, concludes that the
pipeline would have no marginal effect on the climate or oil and gas
development. The reality is that these fossil fuel resources will be
extracted whether or not Obama decides to let the pipeline be built. The
only differences are who will benefit from the oil & how it will be
transported. The State Department says that this project will create
42,000 jobs, many of them will become Union members. Also, projected
is that we will become less dependent on foreign oil. Now Obama has
to worry about the San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer who is
threatening to stop donating to Democrats if Obama approves the
pipeline. Will Obama choose the environmental greenies whose
ventures have failed and cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions of
dollars or will he help the middle class by creating thousands of good
paying jobs and make America less dependent on foreign oil?
(Statistics have been provided in the Wall Street Journal.)
Respectfully yours,
Ray Corcoran, Pres. WCCRC
