Robert Redford: Join the Nov. 6 Keystone XL Protest

[fastfeet2]

So much technology: so much information. and always so many opinions. what DO we know? Is anyone applying anything they've learned to any cause they believe in?

[Txman1996]

He needs more Botox.

[ts53shea]

Fuck Redford in the ass with a highway flair.

[johnBolenbaugh]

@Mr65c10 I AM A FOREMAN AND A UNION PIPEFITTER. MY ENTIRE FAMILY ARE PIPEFITTERS AND WE WILL NEVER WORK FOR A TAR SAND JOB AGAIN AFTER WE SEEN THE DEVASTATION IN OUR COMMUNITY FROM THIS TAR SAND OIL. WATCH (JOHN BOLENBAUGH ENBRIDGE KILLS US ONE BY ONE ) AND THEN REPLY. NO JOB IS WORTH KILLING AMERICANS AND OUR CHILDREN. BE PROUD TO BE A WORKER THAT STANDS UP FOR AMERICA NOT AGAINST THE PEOPLE IN IT.

[4311falcon]

@johnBolenbaugh WHAT A LOAD OF BULLLLLLSHIIIIIIIT!!!!!!! GIVE ME A FRIGGING BREAK. You are totally and completely full of pure bullshit!

[johnBolenbaugh]

@4311falcon let me guess you didn't even care to see the video and see the truth. If you saw what we saw and the people dying from this tar sand oil and the 40 miles of dead fish and thousands of dead animals you may have a different opinion. But if you turn a blind eye and just want a job then there is no reason to even discuss the truth because money is your motivator not the American people and children. And American XL jobs will be 2 yr max and under 2,000 total. That is a fact.

[4311falcon]

Ya know what; you are just another lemming that believes all of the propaganda being spewed out by these celebs that know NOTHING! Have YOU bothered to look at the videos put out showing the before and after when it comes to land reclamation? I’m willing to bet you haven’t. Mother Nature put the bitumen in the ground which leeches into the water supply. With us extracting it and replanting vegetation where nothing grew before I leaving the land in better shape than it was before.

[johnBolenbaugh]

@4311falcon I don't believe any propaganda. And i don't care about these celebrities. What I say is what I have seen and have learned from my personal experiences as a oil worker and now investigator to the truth. And yes I have seen the videos of before and after a tar sand spill in my community. I made the videos. I don't care about the tar sands project. I do care about the pipes that break and the devastation after it. You clean Alberta areas YOU SAY to only pollute my community

[justanoldman1]

Why do actors think they have the right to interfer with progress or politics.

What gives them the right just because they have money but they preach communism, what fucking phonies.

I used to like you Redford but now I just see you as a stupid old man.

[poijkloipssdsd]

@justanoldman1 I'm sure he's devastated.

[justanoldman1]

@poijkloipssdsd No, I sure he does not give a shit as he travels in his private plane or private boat leaving a huge carbon footprint while he preaches to us.

[poijkloipssdsd]

@justanoldman1 Are you stalking him?

[TheOptioneerJM]

See: theglobeandmail Report on Business:Keystone Question I'm for preserving the environment, but not the political agenda on the backs of Canada where clean up is benchmarked. I AM annoyed by the poor attempt to say they give a damn, when it's to score points, politically & figuratively. I'm from Alberta, our economic future depends on it. Does BOB want be Chief Environment Officer at WHO? Canada should just sell to the Chinese & be at peace they won't spill it in anyone's back yard.

[steeltownguido]

Say no to XL, Say no to putting Americans to work

[antilibercrat]

And yet another radicalized hollyWEIRD liberal. What this jerk is actually saying is: "I have mansions, I have limos, I have private jets, I consume energy at a rate that make all Arabs richer. But YOU CANNOT HAVE WHAT I HAVE AND I WILL DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO MAKE THAT SO." Man is he looking like the old hollywood washed up actor. Like some other poster says, this what they do when Hollywood no longer calls. THEY BUG THE SHIT OUT OF THE REST OF US!!!!!!

[carollemieux]

Thank you as always for your work on behalf of the environment and people and against corporate oil monopolies.

[manoroaks]

Ta'Kaiya Blaney Shallow Water, check it out.

[snipermike2065]

stay a actor it be better for you , oil rules the world and if americans dont want it another country like china will gladly take it mean while the usa will suffer more, hard to mobilize your military might without oil or are you planning to use sails on your tanks ? oil will always be there this reminds me of the 70.s with all this talk how history repeats it,s self

[expatted]

You tell it Robert

[OurTheoremBow]

PS: To clear any possible confusion, what I meant was, *anyone who is PRO Pipeline; that is, AGAINST the Nov. 6 PROTEST*

[OurTheoremBow]

For those who are against this: "An influential military thinktank [the Military Advisory Board] is urging America to cut its oil use by 30% over the next decade, as a national security imperative. [...] It dismisses the argument – put forward by Republicans and industry – that America can insulate itself by sourcing its oil from friendly sources such as Canada and Mexico or by increasing domestic drilling."

[drbobc42]

Is that a rug????

[manoroaks]

We could change our ways. We could buy local. instead of nursing big oil. We could subsidize family farms to get them going. We cold find ways to get the big trucks off the road. We could look for solutions instead of staying in the bad situation were in. This is a fork in the road. No matter which way we go, it is going to be difficult. Better to take the safer route home.

[manoroaks]

Check out his video on the New York Times website or Ian Mackenzie's portfolio if you want his reasons for stopping the deadly pipeline. If this pipeline goes through Harold Hamm will increase oil fracking in the midwest. We are trading off food and water for oil dependence.

[waynerzman]

Only your opinions Bob. You can't and didn't back up any of this.

[gpurcell]

Hey, screw you Robert Redford, you freaking hypocrite. You want to have a positive effect on the planet, stop living the life of a feudal lord.

[dander53]

so TRACKER570 -- how does Keystone getting built help you with your money problems ?

Are you gonna be one of the short-term 2500 construction jobs. Or maybe its going through your town and there will be some great jobs serving burgers and coffee to those workers for the few weeks they are in town. Or are you hoping for one of those lucrative cleanup jobs when it pops a leak?! Great opportunities - good luck !

BTW - the US solar industry currently employs over 100,000.

[Jamespot24]

@dander53 Go to Ft McMurry, Alberta and see how the oil pipeline helps people! Canada is doing well in the global recession, these celebrity protesters know nothing

[Brdstfff]

@dander53

Too bad no one can afford solar energy. But I hope you're happy knowing the American government just lost 500 MILLION taxpayer dollars when Solyndra went bankrupt.

Did you know that to power just New York City alone, it would take enough windmills to cover the entire state of Connecticut and cost over $3 TRILLION? Every species of bird on the Eastern seaboard would become extinct because windmills kill birds.

[4311falcon]

@dander53 We don't have short term oil related jobs, they are permanent and pay well over 100k easily. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Spanky.

[Txman1996]

@dander53 Where the hell did you get those stats?

[relativenewz]

get a bike, tracker570. they are a huge part of the global solution. we might also advocate for bike lanes and car-free roads for skateboards, roller blades, and other non-vehicular traffic. how about public transit, carsharing, carpooling, ridesharing, and rail. free your imagination.

[tracker570]

SHUT UP Redford.Unlike u I don't have the money for a little electric car,are Solar panels on the house I'm to worried about trying to keep my home and keep food on the table.I have worse things to worry about than some rich movie star that thinks OBAMA is great and we need to prance around the
