Now that the web of Keystone XL tar sands industry lobbyists connected to Hillary Clinton has grown far beyond Paul Elliott, DeSmogBlog, Oil Change International, The Other 98% and Friends of the Earth have produced a new white board infographicย to help everyone visualize this cast of characters.ย 

Be sure to visit the action page at RejectLobbyistsNoKXL.org asย well.

If funny animated cartoons are more your style, DeSmogBlogย commissioned artist Mark Fiore to explain this corrupt process in a lighterย fashion.
