(First half of press conference) TX landowner Julia Trigg Crawford is fighting TransCanada's continuing use of eminent domain to take her land for the XL Pipeline. TransCanada has been able to use eminent domain by claiming to be a "common carrier" of crude oil. Miss Crawford is legally challenging their claim of "common carrier" status.  She was in Austin TX at the Railroad Commission Feb 13 2012 to speak at a press conference about this issue. Standing with her were representatives of WeTexans, Independent Texans, Texans for Accountability in Government and Texans Uniting for Reform & Freedom.
