*The petition to President Obama reads:*
*"The Dakota Access pipeline would fuel climate change, cause untold damage
to the environment, and significantly disturb sacred lands and the way of
life for Native Americans in the upper Midwest. Direct the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers to revoke the permits under 'Nationwide Permit 12' and stop
the Dakota Access pipeline once and for all."*

Dear Ted,
<https://act.credoaction.com/sign/NoDAPL?t=3&akid=19534.4637676.fx3dIS>

*It’s Keystone XL all over again: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has
granted approval for a dirty oil pipeline that would stretch over 1,100
miles through the upper Midwest.*

The Dakota Access pipeline would carry 450,000 barrels of dirty oil per day
from North Dakota to Illinois and cut through fragile wildlife habitat,
environmentally sensitive areas, and sovereign tribal property. Worse, the
pipeline would cross under the Missouri River, threatening drinking water
downstream if a catastrophic oil spill occurs.1

Led by the Standing Rock Sioux, a massive wave of inspiring grassroots
opposition is building, with protests and civil disobedience temporarily
halting construction in recent days. But construction is moving forward,
and is scheduled to be completed soon. *President Obama must intervene now
and stop the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline.*

The Army Corps of Engineers granted the Dakota Access pipeline’s permits
using a controversial fast-tracking process called “Nationwide Permit 12”
that allows the Corps to essentially rubber-stamp pipeline projects on
private property or Native American lands with little environmental review
and no meaningful public input.

The Corps incorrectly applied this fast-track process in conflict with
numerous federal laws and agreements, including the “Clean Water Act and
the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation
Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, as well
as federal trust responsibilities guaranteed in the 1851 and 1868 United
States treaties with the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota tribes.”2

The Standing Rock Sioux have been protesting for months in peaceful prayer
camps in North Dakota, and farmers and landowners in Iowa have been
fighting to stop the pipeline there for more than two years. Now, thousands
of people have joined in solidarity. In recent days, activists in Iowa and
North Dakota have been arrested for physically blocking the pipeline’s
construction, with more protests planned in the coming weeks and months.34

*We must stand with the local leaders and communities who are holding the
line against this dirty and dangerous oil pipeline.*

This fight is winnable. Hundreds of thousands of CREDO activists, along
with our allies across the country, applied massive public pressure on the
Obama administration and stopped the Keystone XL pipeline. We can and must
do it again.
