To US President Barack Obama:

As concerned Canadians, we urge you to deny the application to build the Keystone XL pipeline that would pump millions of barrels of deadly tar sands oil to Texas from Alberta. Prime Minister Harper won't act to protect Canada or the world but you can. By denying this application you will save thousands of acres of pristine forest, precious water resources and directly prevent the emission of climate killing greenhouse gasses.

Days left to Stop Canada's Deadly Oil

Canada mines deadly oil that creates toxic sludge lakes and destroys forests in Alberta -- and Harper needs Obama's help to sell it. Our own government is captured by powerful oil interests, but Obama is wavering on building a new cross-border pipeline. If enough Canadians ask him to protect the world from our deadly oil, we could tip the balance away from pollution.

Within days, President Obama could decide whether to allow a massive tar sands pipeline right through the middle of the U.S. -- boosting tar sands production and risking the contamination of major fresh water sources in his own country. PM Harper and his oil cronies have tarnished Canada's beauty and reputation, but Obama has the ultimate say on pipeline approval and he’s keen to strengthen his green credentials. He could override Harper's stubborn support for deadly oil.

Harper stopped listening to Canadians about climate a long time ago. Now, we have the chance to lobby the US and cut-off deadly oil for good. When we reach 50,000 signatures, we'll deliver our call directly to the White House. Let’s save Canada’s tarred image -- sign now and forward to everyone you know!
