Read this article form the Huffington Post on the arrest of Elijah Zarlin, a former new media writer for the Obama campaign, at the protests in Washington, DC over the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline from the Alberta Tar Sands to the US Gulf Coast.
“Like many of the 2,000 volunteers who have signed up to participate in
the White House sit-ins, Zarlin, who now works as a campaign manager at
CREDO Action, is calling on Obama to block approval of TransCanada’s
Keystone XL. The oil pipeline would run from the Canadian tar sands in
Alberta to refineries on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.” (Aug 30, 2011)
