Senator Roberts Urges Senate Democrats to Support Keystone Pipeline
Statement
Issues: Oil and Gas
U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R --Kan.) issued the following statement in advance of this evening's vote on construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline:
"On Election Day, Americans voted overwhelmingly to end the gridlock in Washington. Unfortunately, it appears many Senate Democrats didn't get the message. The liberal obstructionists in the Senate are still standing in the way of the Keystone Pipeline. The Keystone Pipeline can deliver over 40,000 American jobs. It is the single largest shovel-ready project in America, and construction of this critical project is long past due. I urge my colleagues across the aisle to end the obstructionism, stand with the American people, and vote to create jobs and build the Keystone Pipeline."
