Mr President: Take the pen and make Keystone a reality

(My new American Thinker post)

President Obama wants to use the phone and pen. Let me give him a couple of suggestions:

1) Call Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell and tell them that you will work with them to make the pipeline a reality.

2) Take that pen and sign the legislation. 

We just got a new report today that may make President Obama's decision a little easier, according to USA Today:

"The release of the review now triggers a 90-day federal process for determining if the project is in the nation's interest, and adds a fresh dimension to the debate over the pipeline.    
With the release of the final environmental impact study, President Obama - who previously said that climate impact would be "absolutely critical" to his decision on Keystone - should now back the project that would bring oil from the tar sands of northwest Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, supporters of the controversial pipeline say."

President Obama should use the report to defend the pipeline against his base.  The pipeline will create jobs and that's another bit of news that the US economy needs to hear! 

So let's go and pass something big on a bipartisan basis!

Brian Lloyd French talks about his new book "Tintamarre"

We spoke with Brian Lloyd French, author of "Tintamarre":

"Mathilde and Acquila Girouard live a pastoral life with their three children on the shores of the Bay of Fundy.
They have a small herd of cows and sheep and a few pigs and supplement the food they grow with the bounty of the bay and the geese in the air.
All in all, though life is hard, they live in paradise.
Until events thousands of miles away change everything...
Suddenly they are in the middle of a battleground.
The English and French are in a struggle to control the New World and take its resources. And the little village of Beaubassin was exactly at the crossroads and the cross hairs of the coming war.
Mati and 'Quila are pulled in both directions. 
Their priest is a fierce defender of the French presence and his Church and would break all the rules to get his way; even arrange mass slaughters.
At first, the English want the Acadians to stay and continue to grow food and help feed the burgeoning population in New England. But then they get tired of the challenges and look for a final solution.
The Girouards are stuck in the middle.
The way they live, what they have built, even their lives, are at risk.
They need to risk everything to keep anything.
Tintamarre! follows the Girouards and their fellow villagers across the River Mesagoueche, through the Siege of Beausejour and the tragedy of the Expulsion. 
Will they lose each other in the turmoil and survive a terrifying voyage and find a new home in the southern territories?
Or will they be one more statistic of the hundreds of Acadians who died in this terrible historic event."
