Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement in response to President Obama's veto of the legislation authorizing the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline:
"By opposing the construction of the Keystone pipeline the President has demonstrated how out of touch he is with middle-class American families. Let's be clear, today President Obama took a position that makes it harder to achieve North American energy independence, kills American jobs, fails to reduce our dependence on oil from the Middle East, and insults one of our closest allies and trading partners. I look forward to voting to override the President's horribly misguided veto."
