One of our great writers, Don Lieber<\/a>, has created a petition on MoveOn.org targeted at Obama that I thought was worth quickly passing along. It’s a Father’s Day petition<\/a> pushing Obama to reject the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.<\/p>\n

Here’s the petition statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Dear President Obama,<\/p>\n

Father’s Day represents a celebration of our cherished obligation to protect our children, and to help prepare them for happy, healthy and fulfilling lives into the future.<\/p>\n

We, the undersigned fathers of children across America, believe that increasing our nation’s dependence on fossil-fuel tar sands oil, from any source, runs completely counter to this most sacred of obligations.<\/p>\n

We urge you to take the meaning of Father’s Day to heart – both as our President and as a beloved father yourself – and REJECT THE KEYSTONE “TAR SANDS” PIPELINE.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For a little more background information and to sign the petition<\/em>, head on over to MoveOn.org<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course, we also have a ton of background information already posted by Don, myself, and others here on Planetsave<\/em><\/a> and sister sites such as CleanTechnica<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Red, Green, and Blue<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
