I am not for/against Keystone pipeline but if you dig deep enough, you'll find out that just about every lawmaker owns stocks and benefits from passage/blockage of some bills they are voting on. You just need Glenn becks chalkboard to connect the dots.

This is not ok. 99.9% of Americans do not the opportunity to decided federal policy that allows them to personally profit. This is push back against the speaker.

Grab the microphone.
