Bold Nebraska praised President Obama's statement on the Keystone XL Pipeline, and views it as an opportunity for solar-and-wind powered barn raisings across Nebraska. If that goes through, it would make the entire state a no-go zone for the pipeline, unless the government were willing to tear down a whole bunch of zero-sum energy projects to create a route for the pipeline.

The main Website reminds landowners (ranchers and farmers) that they do not have to let TransCanada workers on their land under state law. It also points out that the fight is hardly over (and the more projects underway, the harder it gets to find any route through Nebraska, and this is a big state to have to build around). From the NW corner of the Panhandle to the SE corner of the state is over six hundred miles.
The York (Nebr) News-Times has an article: We are not terrorists.
And this thread is now the third-highest search term on DuckDuckGo when searching "keystone xl nebraska terrorists" (the US search engine which does not record your IP or other information for snooping by government officials).
On the other hand, Google with the same search term lists tons of articles from news sources citing TransCanada labelling non-violent protesters across the state (environmentalists, ranchers, farmers, and landowners) as terrorists and trying to hire local police officers as guards).
I am not a rancher or farmer, though I live in a village whose area businesses are primarily related to (or are) ranches or farms. I am just a "townie" (in the local jargon), a landowner in the village (and a village trustee - a city councilman). This matters to me too (my drinking water comes from the same aquifer as that used by the ranchers and farmers).
