The action is still continuing, as our referees march over to the American Petroleum Institute to protest the Big Oil front group. We'll try and get more photos and video up soon, but here's the initial report:&nbsp;WASHINGTON \u2013 At a protest on Capitol Hill this afternoon, hundreds of people dressed as referees called \"foul\" on members of Congress for supporting the Keystone XL pipeline while taking millions of dollars in campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry. The protest was the first of many similar actions across the country as reformers go on the offensive against Big Oil and its political allies in Congress who have given billions in handouts to fossil fuel companies while slowing down progress on the nation\u2019s transition to 100 percent renewable energy.\"People's chief demand today was that Congress stop giving the fossil fuel industry gifts in the form of billions in useless subsidies just so politicians can cash in the favor for campaign contributions,\" said 350.org founder Bill McKibben, who has led protests against the Keystone XL pipeline. \"We're really hopeful that the President will echo that call in his State of the Union address tonight.\"At the rally this afternoon, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) pledged to introduce legislation to end fossil fuel subsidies. The exact amount of subsidies the coal, oil and gas industries receive each year are difficult to calculate, estimates range from $4 billion to $41 billion annually. (1)\u201cThe most profitable corporations in the world do not need subsidies from the American people,\u201d said Sen. Sanders. \u201cWe need to end Big Oil subsidies and tax breaks, and I'm going to introduce legislation to do it.\u201d"}
