The email below is from the "Institute for the 21st Century Energy", another deception by the US Chamber of Commerce to mislead unsuspecting Americans into supporting KXL. This is what we're up against. Big Oil is funding robocalls and other deceptive communications to try and buy our democracy and outweigh us in the KXL comment battle.  

Please send a letter if you haven't already, and get your friends and families to do the same, here are the model letters and background info on KXL if needed:
	* Model letters: http://www.350siliconvalley.org/keystone_xl_comment_drive_march_2014

	* Background info on KXL: http://www.350siliconvalley.org/no_tar_sands_newsletter_2014_02_17

As a 350SV team, we've already generated 242 letters! Fantastic job everyone! Can we get to 300 or more by Friday?


Thank you everyone for supporting this effort, we're likely in the home stretch on KXL and every letter counts!

Pierre

Dear Friend,

The clock is ticking, and the Keystone XL comment period deadline is fast approaching!   
We only have 7 days left to tell Secretary Kerry and the Administration that the Keystone XL pipeline is vital to the national interest and your voice can make the difference.  
Take 60 seconds to email Secretary Kerry and share these key numbers with him: 
42,100:The number of direct, indirect, and induced jobs during construction if Keystone XL is approved. 
65%:Percentage of Americans favor building the Keystone XL pipeline (Pew Research Center, Sept. 2013). 
  
$3.4B:How much the Keystone XL pipeline on its own will contribute to U.S. GDP.  
  
$1.6B:The amount of employee earnings from construction that will occur in non-Keystone states. Because goods and services supporting the Keystone XL project will come from around the country, 80% of employee earnings will occur in other states,making the positive impact on our economy truly national. 
  
After more than five years of study, enough is enough. The benefits of building the Keystone XL pipeline are clear. We can't let the Administration delay this project any longer. 
  
It is time to approve the Keystone XL pipeline and put American jobs and energy security as the #1 priority.  
  
Next Friday March 7th is the last day to send comments to Secretary Kerry. While there's still time, take a moment TODAY to click here and send an email to the State Department. 
  
Thank you for your help.
