We are so sold. In fact, he had us at Gotschall.
Thanks, National Wildlife Federation. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
OK, enough with our perv fit. How dangerous is this thing? Very. (Watch below.) Back? Go call homophobic Republican Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman at 402-471-2244 and ask why he isn't doing anything to stop this, or at least reroute it away from the indispensable and irreplaceable Ogallala Aquifer, why he thinks Nebraskans should pay for utility lines for a private, wealthy, for-profit corporation, why he thinks said foreign corporation should be threatening Nebraskans with eminent domain letters and condemnation, why he thinks TransCanada should be allowed to shift liability to its unwilling Nebraska hosts, why the state should let TransCanada proceed without an emergency response plan and why his campaign took illegal money from TransCanada, a foreign company prohibited from contributing to U.S. elections.
You might ask equally homophobic Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning (who also took illegal money from TransCanada, but hey, maybe he was ignorant of the law) the same questions at 402-471-2682. You might remind him that suing to stop a toxic pipeline from being built over a vulnerable Sandhills underground reservoir is more important to many Nebraskans than using their taxes to sue the feds to stop Obama's healthcare initiatives or suing to prop up California's (!) Prop 8.
Finally you could ask U.S. Senator Mike Johanns the same questions at 202-224-4224 to see what, if anything he is doing to head off this threat to Nebraska's water. Unlike the guv and attorney general, Johanns hasn't yet been caught with any of TransCanada's money, so you can skip that question.
And of course you could call your state senator here.
