7 states down, 43 to go.
Most of you know by now that I have an interest in the government's power of eminent domain. Since the Supreme Court ruled last year that local governments could take anyone's property and give it to a developer for just about any reason, I have been spending some of my time trying to have our property rights restored to us.
There is quite a bit of good news. Several states have passed propositions on their ballots that will ammend their state constitutions in a way that will restore the right to own property for the citizens in those states. For more information, click here
For the last few years, I have been conducting a poll on this website about eminent domain. The company that was hosting the poll has stopped collecting data.
The question was:
Should the government be able to take any private property using the power of eminent domain?
With over 10,000 responses, these are the results:
Yes - anyones property for any reason. 2 percent
No - not for any reason. 66 percent
Yes - but only to build roads, schools, bridges, etc. not for private development. 32 percent.
It is very clear that the citizens of this country do not approve of the government taking property from them using the power of eminent domain.
In the past, I have tried to answer every E-Mail I received. Unfortunately, now that the government has taken away our right to freely own property in this country, I must spend much of my time working to have this travesty reversed. I now do not have time to tend to this webpage, or answer E-Mail. Please do not send any E-Mail with new castle information, I will not have time to answer. I can only hope we are able to alert enough freedom loving people across this country that we will be able to regain our property rights.
Thank you for coming, and please enjoy your visit.
