4. Ain't that the truth....but real quick, before we do, can we thank President Obama for this?

(And ignore the TPP, for a moment?)

Congratulations on helping achieve today’s incredible win for wildlife—from caribou in the northern forests all the way down to whooping cranes in the Gulf of Mexico.

Moments ago, President Obama took the final step to reject the permit for the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline.

President Obama said YES to wildlife and NO to tar sands. Please thank him.

Today, years of hard work paid off!!!

Over the past five years, tens of thousands of friends of wildlife like you have weighed in against this dangerous pipeline, submitting comments, calling your members of Congress, attending hearings, and contacting the President.

When the National Wildlife Federation Action Fund joined this fight more than five years ago, it was just a far distant hope that we’d ever be able to stop this dangerous project, backed by the world’s most profitable industry and the Canadian Government. Today, we’ve achieved an incredible victory—we’re protecting wildlife and their habitat from dirty tar sands by stopping Keystone XL!
