“Right now, Spectra Energy is building the AIM Pipeline, a dangerous, high-pressure gas pipeline that would pose a danger to our communities and lock us into further dependence on fossil fuels. Tell your senators – we need you to DEMAND that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issue a stop work order for the AIM pipeline, and we need YOU to take a public stand against the pipeline via a joint press conference in DC with your senate colleagues. Our lives are on the line!”
