GREN must not lose any credibility locally ,where it seems ,they have had the most recognition. We are too small and local to be effective as a represented (by you or any one or two of us)‘group’ participating in this very valid and huge issue. There are times when everybody has to make a decision in the ‘best interests’ of the situation. You are so committed and passionate for our total environment , and I have great admiration for you in this field….however my opinion is to go as your own rep. and I will pray that you are safe and can make some good contacts and that your group can and will make a difference…as “It should definitely not go forward , this Keystone pipeline.” Others may differ and I will have full respect for their thoughts.

Besides recruiting new members they were explaining their strategies such as the black hood & of course handing out pamphlets of what to do if arrested by the police. They were young & smart & not interested in making the world a better place. They totally enjoyed the celebrity of their mayhem without the hindrance of responsibility for those impacted by the fall out their damages. I was able to question them directly as part of the audience participation after their presentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> Thus I hesitate to support GREN’s involvement in this event. <strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>If it goes sour & their is a good chance that it will, GREN will lose its positive influence in the local community.</span></strong> I joined GREN to help create a positive, local, environmental impact through collective action. Thus, I support people like Yvonne who stand up for what they believe by running for local office or Gord & Daphne who fight for their neighbourhood by gathering petitions & showing up at Council meetings to speak to decision makers in the democratic fashion. The radicals have greater short term effect but do not guarantee long lasting change. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Sharing my thoughts,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Sandra Lachance<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <a href="mailto:butterflybluelu@rogers.com" title="butterflybluelu@rogers.com">Louisette Lanteigne</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Sent:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> Monday, August 08, 2011 8:43 PM<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>To:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <a href="mailto:all@gren.ca" title="all@gren.ca">all@gren.ca</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Subject:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> [All] I'm going to Washington to stop the Keystone Pipeline<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Hi folks</span><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>I'm writing this email to notify GREN member that I am going to Washington DC at the end of August to participate in a peaceful civil disobedience to help stop the tar sands.

I am going into this knowing I may be arrested. In good faith I honestly believe there is no other reasonable course of action left to take on this matter. This is the last public process option available for concerned citizens. In my view Stephen Harper is an oil lobbyiest and I have no faith that he will change his course of action but I do have faith in the power of President Obama to effect change since he has the power to Veto. The decision for the Keystone pipeline may happen as soon as Sept. and if it is approved, it will be game over for stopping climate change. That is why I'm going. This event is likely be the biggest act of civil disobedience in the climate movement history.
