Calling or writing isn't enough. They know what we think.

138. I think Keystone moves to Local Protests. Some landowners

have been already been protesting in Texas and Oklahoma and when the pipeline affects people Directly....they can make a difference.

I still think that Mass Protests serve a purpose because they are backed by people who have a common interest who take the time to organize buses or other transportation and even if the coverage is light there's a common bonding that is important in the organization and the spreading of information to the folks who couldn't attend back home.

Protesting has to be on many levels and creatively ...but, also targeted to the Lawmakers, Corporations and Media. Why Faux News local stations haven't had sustained protests outside for years is a puzzle. I imagine as things get worse with the "Austerity" programs in the country there will be more targeted protests. How they will evolve will be different than those in the 50's for Civil Rights and the 60's against Vietnam war.

But, I do believe there will be enough unrest that new coalitions will find new solutions to our current problems. The danger is APATHY...not how people protest or the way they protest or engage, though.
