You may have already heard, but TransCanada just filed new eminent domain claims in court against 90 Nebraska family farmers and ranchers -- including my family -- who refuse to give up our land for this foreign corporation's Keystone XL tarsands export pipeline. [1]
TransCanada has been bullying my family and other Nebraska landowners for the past ten years, seeking land that's been in our families for generations for a pipeline that threatens our farms, our water, and our climate. Now this foreign corporation has filed a lawsuit against my family, and dozens of other farming and ranching families, and intends to abuse eminent domain to take our land for KXL against our wishes.
We have less than a month from today to respond in court, and oppose TransCanada's eminent domain lawsuits. We need your support in this moment more than ever before.
TransCanada is attempting to make some waves and put up a smokescreen to make investors think KXL is a "green-light," when there remain serious obstacles in this pipeline's path. The company has said it plans to engage in "pre-construction" activities along the proposed route for KXL, like clearing trees.
Landowners like my family have stood together for ten years, and we intend to fight these new eminent domain lawsuits. Bold Nebraska supporters like you have also stood with the landowners during this decade-long fight, and we thank you.
