Draw the Line: the People's Eminent Domain



Tar Sands Blockade and Houstonian residents Draw the Line on Keystone XL and tar sands exploitation by visiting the home of Les Cherwenuk, Project Director of Keystone XL. Some of his own neighbors speak out against him, as well as Jerry Hightower, a Texas landowner whose land Keystone XL passes through.

Perhaps one way of encouraging greater participation would be to make a viral sport of tracking, then shaming, embarrassing and jamming the daily activities of the Über wealthy and those who abuse social and ethical contracts. Sort of like a (non-violent) fight club of operatives in a competition that is documented and posted on social media.
