COUNTY JUDGES

RE: PIPELINE

YOU’RE HONOR, ONE AND ALL,

I KNOW I SHOULDN’T MENTION THIS, BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT AND WE NEED ACTION.  EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU IS BOUND BY OATH TO SUPPORT THIS CONSTITUTION; SO,

PEASE GET THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS ASAP.

TransCanada’s ORGINAL APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT TO CROSS THE BOARDER WITH KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE PROJECT HAS BEEN DENIED, INCLUDING PHASE 3 OF SAID PROJECT (CUSHING, OK TO GULF COAST).

NOW TransCanada HAS THE PIPE IN TEXAS AND IT IS READY TO GO AHEAD WITH THE SAME 36’ PHASE 3 PIPELINE FROM CUSHING TO THE GULF COAST WITHOUT ASKING TEXAS FOR PERMISSION TO DO SO.

TEXAS DOES NOT HAVE A LAW THAT I KNOW ABOUT TO STOP THEM AND ONCE THEY GET STARTED TEXAS CANNOT STOP THEM BECAUSE IT CANNOT PASS AN EX POST FACTO LAW.

OUR GOVERNOR HAS TO ACT NOW TO LET TransCanada KNOW IT CANNOT ENTER TEXAS WITH THAT PIPELINE UNTIL TEXAS HAS TIME TO INVESTIGAGE ITS PURPOSE AND PLAN.

 IT IS NOT A COMMON CRUDE OIL PIPELINE FOR WHICH WE HAVE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND IT IS NOT A COMMON CARRIER FOR PUBLIC USE PIPELINE.

IT IS A PRIVATE CONTRACT CARRIER FOR THE SHIPPERS OF;

UPGRADED BITUMEN – SYNCRUDE (SCO)

AND

DILUTED BITUMEN – (DILBIT)

OR

SYNTHETIC BITUMEN - (SYNBIT)

THE PRESIDENT AND (CEO) OF TransCanada IS QUOTED AS SAYING THAT EACH SHIPPER (OWNER) WILL TELL THEM WHAT TO PUT IN THE PIPELINE AT HARDISTY, ALBERTA, SAID SHIPPER WILL RECEIVE IT AT THE GULF COAST OF TEXAS AND THAT WILL END ITS CONTRACT WITH TransCanada.

WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED TO KNOW INORDER TO DETERMINE THE CARRIER STATUS OF KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE – NOTHING – IT IS NOT FOR OUR PUBLIC USE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE SHIPPER DOES WITH ITS WARES?

THERE IS NOT A BOTTLENECK AT CUSHING, OK THAT CANNOT BE SOLVED WITH ADDITIONAL ORDINARY/COMMON CRUDE OIL PIPELINES.

THE ONLY REASON WE NEED THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE FROM CUSHING TO THE GULF COAST IS FOR (DILBIT) WHEN TransCanada AGAIN APPLIES FOR A PERMIT TO CROSS THE BOARDER WITH IT AFTER OUR ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

WE SHOULD NOT NEED TO DO THIS; BUT, THIS MATTER IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THEY TOO ARE BOUND BY OATH TO SUPPORT THIS CONSTITUTION AND BETRAYAL OF THAT TRUST IS TREASON.

PLEASE LET DAVID DANIELS AND ME KNOW HOW YOU CAN HELP US CONNECT WITH GOV. PERRY NOW. TEXAS  IS IN THE BEST SPOT EVER TO STOP THIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL PROJECT AND BE EITHER THE HERO OR THE GOAT.

WHAT WILL IT BE?

SINCERELY,

ARNOLD J. NASS

TYLER, TEXAS
