[All] Update re: Senate vote/keystone defeated & locally rally

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi everyone!

I'm so tickled pink about the defeat of the Keystone by the Senate! What a miracle.

Bill McKibbon of 350.org responds to the defeat of the Keystone XL and they have posted the fact that next week they are starting an international petition to end oil subsidies! Details here:  http://www.350.org/en/about/blogs/bill-mckibben-keystone-xl-senate-vote

Also, a big rally taking place this Sunday calling for a Federal Inquiry regarding the robocall scandal. LOTS of groups involved with this one. Good time to raise attention to the gagging of our scientists etc. Details below. Feel free to circulate.
