“Building the Keystone XL Pipeline is not just good environmental and fiscal policy, it’s good national security policy. The more energy America buys from close allies like Canada, the less dependent the country is on sources of foreign oil from unfriendly places like the Middle East, Venezuela, and Russia. “I am urging the Senate to do the right thing and pass this bill. If the Senate passes the bill it will head to the President’s desk. President Obama can create tens of thousands of American jobs and strengthen our energy security with the stroke of the pen.”

In reading this, I can't help but think he doesn't read and or does not care about facts if he reads them.
.
First, we have an oil field (Bakken--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakken_formation ) in North Dakota BIGGER than the entire Gulf of Mexico's reserves--the last time I looked, North Dakota is a "friendly place" and not a threat to our national security--we are developing it with American labor. We do not need to buy tar sand oil from "allies", which is what approving Keystone will do.
.
Second, good environmental policy, if oil has to be extracted and shipped, is to SHORTEN the distance of shipping, not lengthen it AND to have U.S. regulations that are proven in the lower 48 to be safer.
.
Third, it will (Keystone) if built will cost American jobs. It will bypass our production efforts in the upper Midwest .
.
Finally, Paul Cook needs a government lesson--he won re-election to House of Koch, not the US Senate which has consistently and correctly rejected the House of Koch's legislative agenda.
.
I ran against Cook because I believed he had sold out and was a threat to out national safety. Cook is still a threat to our Republic.
.
Time for Col. Cook to resign.
