To the Editor:

Every American should call the president at 202-456-1111 and ask that he reject the Keystone XL pipeline once and for all.

Our planet is a gift to us. Like spoiled children, we are trashing that gift. Allowing the Keystone XL to be built would be the environmental equivalent to stepping on a land field of Legos. As the full weight of our bodies step upon that sharp Lego left on the floor and the pain elicits a stream of muffled profanity, we would have no one to blame but ourselves unless we contact President Obama at 202-456-1111 and tell him to reject Keystone XL.
