Opponents of the Keystone XL Pipeline recruited two fictional characters to deliver presents to Governor Dave Heineman Monday afternoon.

The Grinch and Cindy Lou Who, two Doctor Seuss characters, brought gifts that symbolize landowners rights.

The group Bold Nebraska organized the gift giving.

Pipeline opponents are imploring Heineman to deny state approval for the project, which would carry oil from Canada to Texas refineries.

The pipeline developer Trans Canada has agreed to move the proposed route out of the Nebraska Sand Hills, but opponents say it still cuts through the aquifer, a massive water supply.
