CHARLES A. GONZALEZ: “We have seen a consolidated effort by States across the country to enact laws which will deny thousands if not millions…”

I support the building of the pipeline, and I also believe that given the proper timelines to look at all factors that eventually this application will be approved with recommendations.

I have never understood the motivations of those who believe either our country or our language needs to be 'protected' by a law like H.R. 997.

I don't believe that this bill is the best method of accomplishing the building out of the Keystone Pipeline, which I support.

I encourage you all, if we can address the issues of Section 163 and not make it binding where it will be illegal for me to communicate in an official capacity with my constituency, I would encourage you to fix that or vote this bill down.
