Please pray for the water protectors now across the nation at several spiritually-based water protector nonviolent prayerful camps and on presentation tours while some remain now at Standing Rock. Please
Phone Senators (sample here) to oppose Scott Pruitt for EPA Administrator. And help the lawyers who are confronting

Great Plains Physiographic Province is crossed by Dakota Access Pipeline --
See map here: sacredstonecamp.org/… and below, here:
Besides 17 million people and countless businesses (jobs) downstream from Standing Rock all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, DAPL threatens to pollute the water supplying irrigation to crops in Great Plains Physiographic Province. #NotARealPresident should be questioned on how he's going to protect all those waters.
And DAPL crosses the Missouri River twice, Des Moines River, Mississippi River, Rock River, Illinois River as well as others of 204 water body crossings of which 22 are major water bodies
(2016-11-23 interactive map: at least 22 big water crossings, highlighted in blue, have to be drilled deep under large bodies of water ~~ "

Supreme Court Justice John Harlan said in a singular lecture he
tried to give the 1st year Harvard Law School class taught by W. Barton "Pappy" Leach, who was on the verge of losing his class control (start of 1967 fall semester), "... I have come here today to tell you that wars will come and wars will go ...But your profession shall endure." --
Daniel Sheehan, The People's Advocate, c. 2013, p. 82
Justice Harlan was correct. Today we need lots of lawyers to help us (all) question #NotARealPresident on how he's going to protect the $20 billion a year (2009 USdollars) food and fiber industry that depends on the aquifer. “Play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game.” –Winston Churchill.
Today #NotARealPresident is playing all of us for more than we can afford to lose. Lawyers working (I’m sure they’d like our support) to fight DAPL include at least:
