Get Involved! Stop the Pipeline Before it Leaks!

In 1982, Governor John Spellman rejected a proposed oil pipeline, citing two reasons for his decision. The first was the danger of fire and oil spills. The second reason for the pipeline’s defeat was public outcry. The cross Cascade pipeline will be approved or rejected by the governor without direct input from voters. Making sure the governor sees widespread, active citizen opposition to the pipeline is a way for us to vote outside the ballot booth. This is why volunteering for Cascade Columbia Alliance and local anti-pipeline groups in your area is so important. In today’s very busy world, nothing makes a stronger statement than citizens committing some of their time every month to a cause they believe in. CCA would like to thank dedicated volunteers who have already gotten involved by writing letters to the editor, helping with mailings, placing anti-pipeline signs in their yards, etc.
