It is time to show your outrage
...over the recent Supreme Court decision involving imminent domain. Since the decision...properties all around the nation are in the process of being seized and given to a private enities...to build this or that...and the local governments are going along to increase the local tax base. Imminent domain is written into the constitution but only provides for the seizure of property for public use...like a park...a road...a bridge etc. The Supreme Court expanded upon this to include seizing the private property of one citizen to give to another citizen/private enterprise.
In Florida there is a move being made on a group of two thousand homes...involving the displacement of up to 6,000 people. In Oakland a move is being made on a man that has owned a business for decades. In another case a move is being made on a lady whose home has been in the family for 65 years and an adjacent business has been in the family for 56 years. These are just some of the moves being made since the "outrageous" ruling of the Sumpreme Court a few months ago.
Contact your Congressman via phone...e-mail...fax...or snail mail at least once per week expressing your outrage and demanding that Congress do something to correct this "outrageous" decision made by the Supreme Court. In addition complain to your local media in the hopes that they will keep this "outrage" in the public eye.
