A Simple Rejection of American Jobs

Dear %%! set firstname [merge members_.FirstName] if {$firstname == ""} { return "Friend" }

else { return $firstname }%%,

Today, the President rejected the creation of up to 20,000 American jobs in the short term, tens of

thousands more in the long term and a more secure energy future all by denying construction

of the Keystone XL pipeline.

And for what?

For political gamesmanship and to appease extreme environmental groups instead of millions

of unemployed Americans.

Outraged? So are we.

Email the White House now and express your frustration with today’s politically charged job-killing decision.

Rejection of the XL Keystone Pipeline sends the unmistakable message to all Americans that even in

the face of sustained high unemployment and instability overseas, jobs and energy security are

not a priority. It sends a signal to investors and our allies, including Canada, that they can take

their money elsewhere; America is not open for business.

Spread the word and send a letter to the White House now.

Americans are outraged and the President needs to know.

If the Administration’s message is that partisan games are more important than American jobs,

Americans deserve to know.

Sincerely,


Rob Engstrom
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
