I want to go off my regular script and just express my displeasure that the State Department decided or objected to our Nebraska witness that could help put in context the Nebraska exemption and what Nebraska is doing.

I think a lot of the opposition... are folks who do not feel that we should continue to use carbon-based energy.

Those of us who live and work along the proposed path of this pipeline applaud him for placing our welfare ahead of the interests of big oil companies.

Short circuiting the review process would be an injustice and, in fact, a gross injustice to all of us that have to live and work along the proposed path of this pipeline.

Mr. Terry himself in a speech a week or 2 weeks ago in the State of Nebraska said there would be no more than 30 permanent jobs as a result--in the State of Nebraska as a result of the pipeline project.

TransCanada has built a mountain of distrust among the ordinary citizens of our State and either with their voluntary agreement to move the pipeline out of the Sandhills we remain very skeptical.

We do not feel that a foreign corporation has any right to take our land for their private use and gain, especially when there has been no determination that this project is in the national interest.

It befuddles most Americans as polling has shown that this President denied the permit, and the jobs that would be created...

It just--it befuddles me why they would oppose it.
