Punish Souter for Property Theft Decision -- Click Below to help see that >> "Justice Is Served" on Property Rights: >> http://capwiz.com/sicminc/issues/alert/?alertid=7771381&type=CU >> >> ALERT: Are you as OUTRAGED as I am about the Supreme Court's recent >> decision, allowing city governments to take land from one private owner >> and give it to another? In "Kelo vs. City of New London", five Justices >> (led by David Souter) ruled that "eminent domain" allows any local >> government to TAKE anyone's private property if the government will >> generate greater tax revenue -- or any other economic benefits -- when >> the land is developed by the new owner. >> >> If you AREN'T outraged, then you're not paying attention! >> >> These black-robed dictators have now virtually destroyed individual >> property rights in the United States. Ignoring the U.S. Constitution >> AGAIN, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that local governments have the >> "right" to seize private property to make way for private commercial >> development such as shopping malls. >> >> You read that right. It doesn't matter if your family has lived in your >> home since you were 11 years old -- if the local government decides that >> they could make more tax dollars by putting in a mall, too bad for you >> and your family. >> >> Even Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said in her dissent to the ruling, >> "Nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a >> Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory." >> >> But, the Supreme Court has spoken, so that's the end of it, right? >> Nothing can be done to expose this ruling for the TRAVESTY it really is, >> right? >> >> WRONG.

Souter, a recent Supreme Court decision, Kelo v. City of New London, >> clears the way for this land to be taken by the government of Weare >> through eminent domain and given to my LLC for the purposes of building a >> hotel. The justification for such an eminent domain action is that our >> hotel will better serve the public interest as it will bring in economic >> development and higher tax revenue to Weare." >> >> Ah, poetic justice is served. And YOU can help serve it to Justice >> Souter. >> >> TAKE ACTION: This is not a prank. The town of Weare has five people on >> the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent >> domain to take this land from Mr. Souter, Mr. Clements can begin his >> hotel development -- and we can begin the process of *reversing* this >> travesty of justice.
