Sanders Calls on Obama to Require Full Review of Dakota Access
--------------------------------------------------------------

The arrests came as thousands of people rallied across dozens of U.S.
and international cities Tuesday in opposition to the Dakota Access
pipeline. On Tuesday, hundreds rallied in Oakland, Boston, London,
Philadelphia and Toronto, where protesters blocked major downtown
streets. In Washington, D.C., thousands protested the project. This is
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "As we learned today, the pipeline company is
refusing to halt its construction while a new review takes place. In
absence of the pipeline company's compliance, further administration
action is needed. That is why I am calling on President Obama today to
ensure that this pipeline gets a full environmental and cultural impact
analysis. So, today, we stand united in saying, 'Stop the pipeline,
respect Native American rights, and let us move forward to transform our
energy system away from fossil fuels.'"
