There has been much speculation swirling about whether liberal Sen. Mark Udall will support the building of the Keystone pipeline, which would provide energy security by bringing 800,000 barrels of oil to the United States each day as well as thousands of jobs. Wonder no more. Udall’s legislative aide, Carly Robinson, has put the kibosh on any hope of Udall supporting the Keystone Pipeline, according to a member of Vets4Energy, Tom McAdam, who visited with Robinson in early April. Sen. Udall was not available to meet with McAdam. Here’s his notes from the meeting, exclusively obtained by the Peak:
“Senator Mark Udall. Met with the Senator’s Energy LA Carly Robinson. Meeting was not very productive as Ms. Robinson stated that the Senator was an environmentalist and his views were incongruent with support of the Keystone XL. Ms. Robinson said that she was aware of the Heitkamp letter but would most likely not inform the Senator.”
While Udall’s meetings with uber-environmentalist Tom Steyer have indicated that he is not inclined to support Keystone – afterall, he needs the cash from Steyer for his uphill re-election campaign – he has never truly been candid with Coloradans in this fashion. But, what’s truly interesting is that Robinson would not pass on information to a Senator from one of his constituents.
Former chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party, Floyd Ciruli,summed up the broad support for the Keystone pipeline in The Denver Post last month:
Even before its recent environmental clearance, the pipeline has enjoyed national support during the last five years that it has been under debate. Pew Research and other credible national polls show broad support at or above 60 percent, including a majority of Democrats, based on a lack of evidence of a greenhouse gas effect, the desire for energy independence, and the project’s potential to boost the economy. Most recently, former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar endorsed it, along with a host of Senate Democrats vulnerable in re-election.
But, not Sen. Udall. He’s siding with Steyer over Colorado. It was suspected before, but determined by Udall’s LA and her unwillingness to even listen to his constituent.
It's time to get rid of this traitor.
It's time to get rid of this traitor.
West Coast Enviro-Nut Billionaires before Coloradans? That's Mark Udall.
Udall = Moron!

“He [Udall] has been great on oil and gas issues,” Desai (vice president for Cheniere Energy) said in a phone interview.
“He’s one of the few Democrats who cares about the environment and who’s pro growth … he embodies Colorado. He’s a good guy,” said Desai, adding that he would continue to bundle donations for Udall.
Apparently you've already suffered brain damage and the pipeline isn't built yet..
Its not our energy…its Canada's and the Koch Brothers. Get out of this country and visit others of the third world. We are America we will find a way. We are amazing when put to the challenge. I am Proud of him.
One sorry hunk of dung
Developing our energy reserves and selling the to the world would keep everyone safe from tyrants like Putin, whose financing comes from oil.
This does fit his agenda…..wind and solar you see, killing the Bald Eagle and thousand s of other birds….but now that's OK…..If and when it fits the Lefts Commie Agenda then they use endangered species, good example is the desert tortoise that they have had to kill 800 or 900 of them because there were to many of them. Hypocrites and Liars!!!!
Selling out Colorado and Bending over for his EnviroNazi Masters. How about another wind mill farm or better yet 500,000 acre solar power farm on ranch land in SE Colorado. Sell Out.
Another reason to say "Nyet" to Udall!
If he and his kind are going to do their damnedest to stop all petroleum production, I wish they would tell me how they are going to produce rubber, plastic, 50% of our pharmecuticles, plastics that hold 3/4 of our world together. Do we just watch the price of Computers, tires, everything with ANY kind of plastic and hundreds of other items get more expensive while the middle east keeps a death grip on our necks?
Wouldn't you expect Udall to oppose any efforts to allow us to support ourseleves? FIRE THE SOB !
Get him out NOW!!! Colorado,We need to desolve ourselves of ALL of these Traitors
I hope people are finally waking up to his shit!
You do realize that Colorado producers of oil will get more for their product if Keystone XL does not exist.
That said, I am not happy with Mark as I see Keystone as a big Fuck You to Maduro which is MY major/only criteria for supporting it.
Is it me, or is he just plain TRYING not to get re-elected?
