A coalition of ranchers, farmers and native tribes are staging protests against the Keystone XL pipeline on the National Mall this week with teepees, horses and a sacred fire that will burn for days

The National Mall in Washington, D.C., will look like a scene out of an Old Western this week, as the Cowboy and Indian Alliance holds a multi-day protest against the Keystone XL pipeline complete with teepees, horses and religious ceremonies.

The confederation of ranchers, farmers and members of Native American tribes kicks off the week of protest and civil disobedience Tuesday, Earth Day, with a horse ride on the Mall and the erection of a ceremonial teepee soundtracked by live music from the Indigo Girls.

I don’t know, but that ‘crowd’ is only 3 or 4 deep. The horses are bunched up and that makes it look larger.

Who will clean up all the horse sh** after these ignorant individuals leave? Will they scoop it up into environmentally evil plastic bags and take it with them? What a pathetic bunch...

From the article: "Events through the week are expected to draw about 200 participants, with a much larger group of 5,000 expected for a larger march on Saturday,"

Wow. Overwhelming. Not like the TEA party came to town or something...(I bet they counted the horses).

Will Liz Warren join the spectacle in either cowboy hat or head dress?

Well the national media has already discredited all ranchers, and just look at that picture, can they get any more racist and insulting to Native Americans?
Of course that would be the media angle had they come out and supported the pipeline.

Actually, the entire anti-drilling, anti-fracking, anti-rail shipment, anti-pipeline bunch has been amping up for the midterms.

I expect a lot more Astroturf Theater productions in the near future.
