It will create 120,000 jobs: Time to build the Keystone XL pipeline

Today's anemic jobs report--just 74,000 jobs created--should send a message to the White House. It's time to build the Keystone XL pipeline. President Obama has been dithering for five years in regards to approving its construction. If he gives the green light, 20,000 high paying jobs will be created--along with 100,000 indirect jobs. Business favors Keystone--so do the unions.

According to the Department of Energy, the pipeline from Canada will transport up to 830,000 barrels of petroleum per day, which is half of the amount that we import from unfriendly governments in the Middle East.

Obama: stop dithering and begin leading--approve Keystone.
