The New Threat: Widespread Eminent Domain?
Ron Paul:
We must stop special interests from violating property rights and literally driving families from their homes, farms and ranches.
Today, we face a new threat of widespread eminent domain actions as a result of powerful interests who want to build a NAFTA superhighway through the United States from Mexico to Canada.
We also face another danger in regulatory takings: Through excess regulation, governments deprive property owners of significant value and use of their properties — all without paying “just compensation.”
Property rights are the foundation of all rights in a free society. Without the right to own a printing press, for example, freedom of the press becomes meaningless. The next president must get federal agencies out of these schemes to deny property owners their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property.
So ... thoughts?

Dr. Paul is correct.
Religious freedom is what brought people to the new world, but property rights are what spurred the revolution.
If the forced confiscation of people's property in the name of "the common good" continues at this pace, the current powers that be will get to learn what King George learned.
RON PAUL is correct and the only man of integrity to get us out of this nightmare in the making.
