Subject: Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad



We knew there was money behind this deal but we didn't know who until

now.



Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad owns all of the rail lines in the

US connecting to western Canada and they haul 80%+ of the crude from

Canada to the mid west and Texas or charge other Short Line railroads a

fee to use their tracks. BNSF charges $30 per barrel to haul the oil

where the Keystone would cost $10 by the State Departments own

estimates. BNSF largest shareholder is Berkshire Hathaway whose

chairman is Warren Buffet. In the last 2 election cycles Buffet gave

extensively to Democrat causes and candidates including $40K+ to Obama

in 2012. He also bundled and hosted numerous fundraisers for Obama.



Buffet could stand to lose $2B+ a year if the pipeline goes in and he

makes the same amount every year it's delayed. This is crony

capitalism at it's finest and what is making people mad at our corrupt

federal government.
