John Boehner must resign from Congress because of his conflicting interests regarding the Keystone XL Pipeline. In 2010 he invested between $15,001-50,000 in Canadian Natural Resources, Ltd, a tar sands oil company. He is poised to reap financial gain if the pipeline gets built. Tell Congress to pressure him for his resignation!
John Boehner has invested a lot of money in Canadian Oil Companies and is pushing to pass the Keystone XL Pipeline at any cost, including tying it to the next payroll tax cut extension. He has invested $365,000 in seven companies that would benefit from the Keystone Pipeline approval, setting himself up to reap great financial rewards from his investment. We are calling for his resignation.

TransCanada also reported that instead of reducing fuel prices for Americans, it will increase them because the pipeline will drain off oil reserves as it passes over the Ogallala Aquifer that supplies drinking water to 2 million Americans and is the primary source of groundwater for 20% of America’s agriculture. The potential for environmental disaster is immense because another TransCanada pipeline spilled 12 times in one year, and two years ago in Michigan the Lakehead pipeline system ruptured; crews are still cleaning up the mess because instead of floating, tar sand oil sinks. Those are indisputable facts about the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, and still, Boehner continues assailing the President for not granting an immediate permit.
On Friday Boehner accused the President of “personally lobbying against the Keystone pipeline,” and “it means the president of the United States is lobbying for sending North American energy to China and lobbying against American jobs.” Boehner’s remarks are a smokescreen to fool the American people, because he is aware that none of TransCanada’s oil will reach American consumers. One might think that Speaker Boehner has a personal stake in the pipeline the way he assailed the President, because he does. Boehner said he was disappointed in the President and that “if we’re going to have bipartisan action on energy, the Keystone pipeline is an obvious place to start, the White House owes the American people an explanation.” Wrong Mr. Boehner; you owe the American people an explanation.
