For the past six years Republicans have diligently worked to advance the Keystone Pipeline which would create more than 40000 American jobs put our nation on the path towards energy independence and injectbillions of dollars into our economy. Instead of embracing this jobs project that the majority of Americans support President Obama and Democrats have continuously hindered the process by imposing unnecessary burdens and political roadblocks. After Republicans won the Senate in November this legislation finally passed Congress and was put on the Presidents desk for him to sign. Instead the President surrendered to his liberal base and environmental extremists and today he vetoed the bill. In doing so he said no to creating thousands of American jobs no to energy independence and no to
revitalizing our economy. Republicans are committed to creating American jobs and bolstering our nations energy security and we will not let the Presidents political games set us back. The fight for the Keystone XL Pipeline is not over."
