'No KXL' Rally Interview with Robert Kennedy Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is President of the Riverkeepers group who work to protect our air, land and water. He came with others to protest the Koch brothers and the oil industry backed plan that Obama has been threatened with consequences for not backing it by the GOP all the time he has been in office and resisted no matter what.
Bobby knew he'd be arrested, explaining how civil disobedience is the way we can express ourselves peacefully as part of a democracy, and was among the first arrested.
Just as Secretary of State John Kerry was arrested in Washington, D. C. years ago. Bobby also explains the grave dangers to all future generations from climate change and pollution.
Between 2:06 and 2:22 Bobby speaks of the President's knowledge and moral compass and that he knows Obama will kill the Keystone XL pipeline.
This video brought tears to my eyes and I am proud of my President and the Kennedy family who loves our country so much that they continue to do what they are doing.
Our President will see us through the hard days ahead for many Americans with the Sequester forced on him by the GOP last year. Let's give him our support.

Believe how Obama has held them off for three years, Peggy. The Sequester is the GOP's revenge.

I've kept track mentally, of the number of threats that the GOP issued over the KXL.

Save the last link to hear what the Koch brothers really think - really nasty report.

I won't be posting any more of such stories in the BOG. It's bringing trouble. Later.

The question is-what would TEDDY Kennedy in 2013 do. That is the relevant question.
