Veterans to deliver public DAPL comments directly to Army Corp Engineers (Trump shut down comments)
Just got this email. Trump shut down public comments even though the public was supposed to have till Feb. 20. Other98 has set up their own comments site and
is coordinating with Iraq Veterans Against the War who will personally deliver your comments to the Army Corps of Engineers:
Message from Other98 :
Did Trump just turn off the website for submitting public comments about the Dakota Access Pipeline?
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe won a huge victory when the Army Corps of Engineers agreed to halt construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline while they conducted an Environmental Impact Statement. The public was supposed to have until February 20 to submit our comments.
But last week, Trump ordered the Army Corps to greenlight DAPL. And now, the government’s comment webpage doesn’t even work.
Help us help the Feds do their job. We’ve built our own comment page, and now we’re working with the awesome folks at Iraq Veterans Against the War to personally deliver your comments to the Army Corps of Engineers.
We don’t know what’s going on with the webpage, but we do know that this Environmental Impact Statement is crucial. It will buy us time to fight DAPL in the courts and bankrupt DAPL by driving away its Big Bank funders.
Whoever shut down the public comment form, they can’t shut us down that easily. And we've already heard from insiders that the Army Corps cares how Veterans feel about this dirty pipeline.
Write your comment to the Army Corps of Engineers and tell them exactly why this pipeline is a disaster waiting to happen. The vets at IVAW will make sure they get the message.

We’re continuing to work directly with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe as this plays out. So thank you for everything you’ve done for the Tribe, for the water protectors, and for this struggle. We’re just getting started.
Solidarity,
John Sellers
