Oil money

#Occupy & 350.org Stage "Human Oil Spill" at John Boehner's Office

Hundreds of 350.org climate activists and Occupy Wall Street protesters flocked to Speaker of the House John Boehner's Ohio office today, and proceeded to stage a "human oil spill". The action was intended to draw attention to the GOP's efforts to attach a provision to a popular payroll tax cut bill that would clear the way for the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Garbed in black, the activists acted out a scene in which the pipeline ruptured and spread oil across a pristine Midwestern environment.
“The House brings shame on itself when its members take tens of millions in big oil money and then do the industry's bidding. Keystone XL creates no net jobs and pours carbon into the atmosphere. That’s why millions across the country opposed it. Its only beneficiaries are the fossil fuel industry and the politicians they support,” Bill McKibben, 350.org founder and environmental author, said in a statement.

When O's decision to simply postpone a pipeline decision was made i knew that the war wasn't over.  But putting it in the tax bill was a quicker move than I expected.
The payola must be really BIG!
