Draw the Line: Momentum has been gathering to have a forceful presence in support of the nation-wide “Draw the Line” campaign by 350.org to send a message that we oppose the Keystone XL pipeline – a decision by Obama is imminent. We will be doing photo petitions with an artificial pipeline both individually and in groups with as many people as possible, writing messages on a white board. We are engaging student groups from WSU and UI. There are ways you can help – let me know if you are willing.
