While Revealing Climate Plan, Clinton Mum on Keystone.

"Real leadership is about forging public opinion on issues like Keystone -- not following it," O'Malley deputy campaign manager Lis Smith said.

Hillary Clinton Sidesteps Keystone in Climate Plan Rollout.

Democratic presidential candidates Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders have been vocal opponents of the project. Mrs. Clinton said her Democratic rivals never served as secretary of state and added that she is confident Keystone’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions would be a major factor in the administration’s determination of whether to build the pipeline.

Lis Smith, Mr. O’Malley’s deputy campaign manager, said Monday: “Every Democrat should follow [Mr. O'Malley's] lead and take a stand to commit to ending our reliance on fossil fuels.”

In a memo titled, "What Real Climate Leadership Looks Like," Lis Smith, Martin O'Malley's deputy campaign manager, stressed that the former Maryland governor outlined his clean energy plan last month and has backed up his plan with "action, not just words."

"Eschewing the piecemeal, poll-tested 'all of the above' energy strategies of the past, O'Malley has made clear that he will use the full force of his executive power to make the transition to a clean energy future the number one priority of our federal government," Smith wrote.
