Stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline which endangers the water supply to Native American reservations.
Created by C.S. on August 15, 2016
The Dakota Access pipeline is set to be constructed near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, crossing under the Missouri River which is the only source of water to the reservation. The pipeline is planned to transport approximately 470,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The potential of oil leaks would contaminate the only source of water for the reservation. While Dakota Access claims oil leaks are unlikely, an oil leak from a separate pipeline in North Dakota was discovered (8/15/16) to have leaked over 500 barrels of oil since the leak began on July 19, 2016. You can read the article here: http://bit.ly/2aVm5cv. A leak like this from the Dakota Access pipeline would leave the Standing Rock Sioux without any clean water.

Editorial Note: I imagine there are other places to build this needed pipeline other than near a water source...THINK!

What Are the Consequences of Evolution?
The modern theory of evolution has had far greater spiritual consequences than many people realize. Evolution teaches that, ever since life began, natural forces have led to the development of progressively better and better life forms -- hence, continual improvement.---Gospel Way
