The Campaign for America’s Future.

1. NOT to approve the Franken amendment “to require the use of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United States in the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and facilities,”
2. NOT to approve the Markey-Baldwin amendment requiring that the pipeline oil stay in the United States for domestic use,
3. NOT to require campaign finance disclosures for politicians benefiting from tar sands development,
4. NOT to require tar sands companies contribute to a government fund for oil spill cleanups like the one now underway in Montana after a 50,000-gallon spill,
5. NOT to ensure private property cannot be seized through condemnation or eminent domain for the private gain of a foreign-owned business entity,
6. NOT to tax this oil as petroleum is usually taxed,
7. NOT to impose an 8-cent-per-barrel tax.

To put the final nail in their coffin, The Campaign for America’s Future concluded their report noting:

And then, after promising to run the Senate by allowing debate and amendments and after Republicans had voted to block campaign funding disclosure associated with the pipeline, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell shut down all amendments and debate, so that Republicans could fly off to attend a Koch brothers campaign-funding event in Palm Springs.
