"52 more protesters were just reported arrested at the ongoing civil disobedience outside of the White House, bringing the tally to 162 arrested over three days. A diverse group of activists are gathered there to protest the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would inextricably hook the U.S. up to the dirtiest fuel source on the planet: Canada's tar sands.
If the U.S. government approves the pipeline, preeminent climatologist James Hansen says that it will be "game over" for the global climate."

"The Park Police decided to hold 50 protesters from Saturday's civil disobedience against the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline until Monday. They said this was to "deter future participants" in the protests, possibly at the request of the White House according to Ted Glick. The deterrent failed: 52 more protesters were arrested Monday, the third day of the protests, and this will continue as planned all the way to September 3!"

"I'm really sick of our government being run by oil companies and banks
I would like to see one politician stand up in the face of all the campaign money... and say i'm going to do what's right
I'm counting on Obama to stand up finally and do the right thing
I worked for months to get that man elected...it's time for him to do what he said he was going to do"
