Say NO to Keystone XL pipeline

11/24/2014 Nativegrl77

This week, the Senate defeated a proposed bill that would have forced through the Keystone XL pipeline. But we’re not out of the woods yet.

Senator Mitch McConnell, soon to be the Majority Leader, has pledged to do everything he can to fight the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. This proposal would limit — for the first time ever — carbon pollution from power plants, substantially decreasing our nation’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Stand up to Mitch and his polluting cronies: submit your comment in favor of limiting carbon pollution.

We’ve shown Washington that we mean business when it comes to climate change, and we can’t quit now.

This is the last chance to ensure your opinion is counted by the EPA! Help us win the next victory for climate change by writing to the EPA before the December 1st deadline.

TAKE ACTION

Thank you,

Some other things I’ve read this week: Martha Plimpton on women’s rights being denied, Jessica Roy on attending a men’s rights conference, Marguerite Ward on Canada’s immigration policy, and Andy Warner and Lauren Sommer on the perils of ocean acidification.

What’s Wrong With Hobby Lobby

In the Hobby Lobby decision, the Roberts Court adopted a number of conservative myths that will end up allowing discrimination in the name of corporate religion: http://mm4a.org/1k78VqZ
Related: In addition to sex discrimination, corporations will be able to use Hobby Lobby to discriminate against LGBT individuals: http://mm4a.org/1qvyR79
While conservatives are trying to minimize the impact of Hobby Lobby, numerous legal challenges could make the impact on women even worse: http://mm4a.org/V9QIU2

THE NYT CAN DO BETTER

When the New York Times reports on Ahmed Chalabi’s return to prominence, they should disclose that he was the source of their problematic coverage in the lead up to the Iraq War. http://mm4a.org/V7LuYV
