Call Attorney General Steve Bullock by Monte Gould http://www.montanawomenfor.org/2009/05/11/no-justice-for-libby-montana-call-attorney-general-steve-bullock/comment-page-1/#comment-825 Monte Gould Thu, 15 Dec 2011 08:06:51 +0000 http://www.montanawomenfor.org/?p=339#comment-825 Sickening, sad and very depressing. My family has been a part of Libby since the 1890s and in fact many of my family is buried in the cemetery there. I remember spending my summer with my Grand parents playing, working, hunting and fishing there for months. I never knew what the shiny pretty metal type stuff was in the ground but now I do. Many of our family friends and some relatives I'm told died from this and worked at the mine. Justice it seems is on the other side... Sickening, sad and very depressing.

Who would be in support of the raising of the price of our gasoline by 7 cents a gallon to our midwestern states..which was admitted by the TransCanada report itself. Why would we want the Canadian oil producers to be able to manipulate our oils prices to our disadvantage. This is not even to mention what it will do to our rivers and wildlife...the pipeline already in Oklahoma has had many recent spills and the pipeline producers admit this is GOING TO HAPPEN!again with Keystone XL pipeline. I, for one want my vote to count as a big "NO" Who in their right mind, knowing the information in this article, “The Truth about the ‘Energy Security’ Argument for the Keystone
