Tar Sands Action: Visit to Seattle Obama Campaign Office

A group of citizens visit an Obama 2012 campaign office to make it clear that they will only donate and volunteer for the campaign when President Obama stands up to Big Oil and denies the permit for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline.

This is really important work. Thank you to all who participated and helped to educate this man. And to let him know that this is important, and Obama would be wise to listen.

This should go viral. This needs to go viral!

You are an idiot. That guy handled those people perfectly respectfully. He's a campaign staffer, not an environmental expert. Stop being such a one-issue hack.

Hi all! I just moved from Toronto to Seattle and I want to get involved with this important campaign. On the Canadian end of things, there is no motivation in government to stop exploiting the tar sands. Is this group still meeting up?

Don't look down your nose at this guy! Just try to accept the fact that he is learning about this very important issue at this juncture! Perhaps one so perfect as yourself should do his job as well as your own so we wont have to listen to you judge. Hate does not become us! Compassion and understanding does. BTW I am sure that this guy went home after having that surprise camera in his face and read up on the issue! I would hazard to guess he knows a little more about the issue today,

Can you believe this guy had absolutely no idea what they were talking about, didn't want to listen, wouldn't even give them his name, only gave them his superior's first name, and spouted only political rhetoric to them? "You know there other important needed actions across the country today?" What a kiss off! Obama will lose in 2012 if this is any example of his campaign. Then we all lose!

Great work guys. Keep up the full frontal assault.

Excellent! This is about a viable planet; the stakes couldn't be higher. We clearly need this sort of direct action, and lots of it...

I LOVE my Seattle people! Let this be a model for all cities and towns. Go forth!
