On March 29, 2013, ExxonMobile’s Pegasus pipeline burst in Mayflower, AR, spewing an estimated 5,000 barrels of tar sands oil through town neighborhoods and into a marsh connected to Lake Conway, one of the biggest recreational fishing areas in the state.

This is a fresh reminder of what is at stake. Stand up to big oil by sending a message to Secretary of State, John Kerry. We need to know the TRUE environmental cost of the KXL Pipeline.

80% of all antibiotics are used on factory farm animals which eventually leads to antibiotic resistant super-bugs. We can fix this problem. Support meat without drugs and help stop the super-bugs.
