Washington, DC – U.S. Representative Brian Babin (TX-36) issued the following statement today after voting to send a bipartisan bill approving the Keystone XL Pipeline to President Obama’s desk:

“I am proud to vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline and officially send this widely supported bill to the President’s desk. For the past six years, President Obama has needlessly delayed the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline – costing the American people thousands of new jobs and an affordable source of energy. But now the President faces a clear choice. Either he listens to the American people and signs this bipartisan bill or he vetoes it and continues to put politics above what is good for all Americans. I call on the President to do the right thing and sign this common-sense, pro-jobs bill and approve the Keystone XL pipeline.”
