171 Words1 Page

For my research paper this fall I will be talking about Senator Jon Tester's voting habits on the Keystone XL Pipeline. The Keystone XL Pipeline was a bill passed by the Senate by a vote of 62 to 36. This bill would allow the oil to be ship from Alberta to Illinois and then to Texas to be refined and sold. Jon Tester was one of the sixty-two members who supported the Keystone Pipeline because of its benefit on Montana's jobs and economy.

Jon Tester and his reasoning for the benefits of Montana and his goals for it are contradictory. In my paper I plan on addressing Tester's conflicting ideas, and give even more reasoning

    While I am sure you read this with your jaw slack at our survival we must put aside, for the moment, the welcomings and move on to the pressing issue that has had our great and growing nation in squabble and controversy these past two years, during which I have been away upon the beauty of our first defining investment. The splendor of this new world of our own is profound and awe inspiring, yet many, having not felt the crisp clear waters of the rivers, laid their eyes upon the dream-like falls of the Missouri, or breathed the air atop the Grand Rocky mountains, speak, without knowing its magnificence, of this entire ecosystem’s worth. I can asure any reader with the senses to hear the shuddering roar of the rapids, to feel the shivering cool of the clouds, and to see the staggering heights of the mountains, that no investment in our short history has been near equal in value to what Lewis, Clark, and myself have experienced in our expedition across The Louisiana Territory or the value of what is to come
