When I came back, I told friends "We have the Black vs. White problem. In Montana, it's Cowboy/Farmer vs. Indian"
Lots of stories.

<snip>
Earlier this year, the groups behind the Reject and Protect campaign and their supporters sent 2 million anti-Keystone XL comments to the Obama Administration in just 30 days.
Through Sunday, the Cowboy Indian Alliance is camping out at Washington D.C.s National Mall as an official protest to Keystone XL, the 1,179-mile pipeline that would extend from Canada to Texas. The opening ceremony took place on Tuesday, Earth Day, with 24 horseback riders leading the way for participating tribal communities, ranchers, farmers, Canadian First Nations and environmental groups.
Were here to show Obama, to show Washington D.C. the very faces of the people that the decision of the KXL pipeline represents, Dallas Goldtooth, one of the activists from the Cowboy and Indian Alliance told a crowd on the mall, according to ABC.
The event will culminate in a march past the the Capitol on Saturday. According to Politico, as many as 5,000 activists could take part in the march.

This is truly wonderful.
Rolling Stone is saying that Obama is going to say no to the pipeline.
