Keystone pipeline vital for oil supply, jobs

America urgently needs more North American oil. We have been importing far too much Middle East oil at high prices.
We must take advantage of the opportunity offered by the Keystone pipeline. This project would create up to 20,000 new construction jobs and many indirect jobs.
To our detriment, President Barack Obama's administration has delayed approval of this pipeline.
Let your congressmen know how important the Keystone pipeline is to our oil supply and job creation. We must use our resources for our economic recovery.
