Ohioans Slam Boehner over Backroom Keystone XL Tar Sands Deal

Uploaded by peacemuseum on Dec 14, 2011

Activists bring “Human Oil Spill” to Boehner’s front door in response to his backroom Keystone XL deal and cozy relationship with Big Oil.
The Republican-controlled House passed a bill,12/14/2011, that would extend a Social Security payroll tax cut, but added on a series of unrelated provisions including calls for speeding the construction of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would move tar sands oil from Canada to Texas. Jon Boehner’s handiwork.
Event was planned and executed by activists from Occupy Cincinnati Energy Action Coalition and 350.org.
350.org is an international grassroots climate campaign. “350” represents 350 parts per million, the safe upper limit of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We are currently at 398.78ppm and if we don’t change that soon there will be no turning back.
Boehner and many others in the US Congress are nothing more than “Corporate Whores”.
They serve the interests of their corporate taskmasters and not the American people.
The US Capital has become a brothel where K Street pimps buy their political prostitutes to do their bidding. Only a handful of representatives truly “represent” the interests of Americans, and John Boehner is definitely not one of them.
A look at how he has profited in wealth and position by selling out to corporate interests tell the story,
