Actress Daryl Hannah has been arrested in front of the White House along with other environmental protesters who oppose a planned oil pipeline from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The sit-in Tuesday involved dozens protesting the Keystone XL pipeline. It would go through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to refineries in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas.

Before she was arrested, Hannah told The Associated Press the protesters want to be free from dependence on fossil fuels. The group calls for clean energy investments instead. Hannah says they hope President Barack Obama will not bow to oil lobbyists.

Hannah sat down on the sidewalk near the White House and refused orders from U.S. Park Police to move.

She has been arrested in the past for environmental causes.



Film at 11.... 🤐 🤐

....opposing my gas pipeline.....

Time to open the camps! I got them a free speech zone!

that pipeline be jobs and stuff..... 😟

No worries......he's had plenty of practice bowing to everyone already. What Ms. Hannah fails to realize is that Obama was bought years before he ran for President - just like all the other Presidents.............silly girl, she's so naive.....and uninformed....

She can get a permitt from me!!!

No problem, not going through my state.

Wonder how she traveled to DC, I'm sure no fossil fuels were used. Hypocrite beotch!

I would like to lay some pipe through Daryl Hannah........then she would appreciate the benefits of cheap lube.
