    Now I want to tell you about an important issue
    in Lancaster County. The Williams Company
    wants to build a large new fracking pipeline
    through Lancaster County. The proposed route
    will use eminent domain to go through the
    Lancaster Farm Trust and private farmland,
    past schools, and through townships and
    neighborhoods along the Susquehanna River.
    The communities along the pipeline path
    strongly oppose this pipeline. Joe Pitts strongly
    supports this pipeline project, and has taken
    over $15,000 in campaign contributions from
    the Williams Company. But Tom Houghton
    strongly opposes the project, and will fight
    against it in Congress. Having heard this, if the
    election for Congress were held today, who
    would you vote for, or are you undecided?
    Joe Pitts ............................................ 41%
    Tom Houghton .................................... 41%
    Undecided ......................................... 18%
