Environmental activists are protesting outside the Washington, DC home of Louisiana Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu.
Landrieu, facing a tough runoff election next month, has been pushing the Senate to approve the Keystone pipeline, much to the anger of environmentalists/”green job” proponents:

A Senate vote on Keystone, expected this week, will be very close:
Sen. Durban says Keystone XL is one vote shy in the Senate, expects Obama will veto the bill. http://t.co/zcF514oXoF
