"Secretary of State Clinton, whose friend and former staffer Paul Elliot is a lobbyist for TransCanada, had worked behind the scenes to ease the way for commercial exploitation of this, the world's highest-carbon-emitting oil, 53% of which oil is owned by America's Koch Brothers."

Here is the letter from our Democratic leaders expressing their concern over the dirty oil being produced by the Canadian shale oil industry:

Despite these concerns, and despite the dirty quality of this oil, Hillary Clinton was working with her Koch/Oil lobbyist buddy behind our backs and to the detriment of the Democratic Party and our children and grandchildren, to make KXL happen by attempting to coerce EU into using that dirty oil and, as a result, further creating the conditions that are fundamentally changing the composition of our atmosphere, the stability of our climate systems, and the health of the flora and fauna that depend on a healthy planet to live and flourish.
That is all I need to know and I will fight with every effort I can muster to defeat this war and oil hawk in the primaries, if she runs.
