  1. A non-permitted, foreign owned, for-profit oil company can seize your land and put an oil pipeline on it. This is America. Meet Julia Trigg Crawford, a Texas farmer who had her land condemned and taken through eminent domain by the Canadian oil company, TransCanada. Although they don’t have a permit yet, in anticipation of the Keystone XL pipeline, TransCanada claims it’s a common carrier, like a water or electricity line.
