Today President Obama vetoed a bill approving the Keystone XL Pipeline sent to his desk with bipartisan support from both chambers of Congress.
Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (IN-08) released the following statement after the President vetoed the pro-energy, pro-jobs, and pro-national security project:
"By vetoing this pro-jobs, pro-energy, and pro-national security project, the President ignored the will of an overwhelming majority of the American people," said Bucshon. "Republicans, Democrats, union workers, and industry leaders -- over 60 percent of Americans -- agree Keystone is a common-sense project that should be approved. I'm disappointed the President put the interests of a few ideological extremists over our national interests."
