I just received word that the threat to our neighborhood has been withdrawn and our homes are officially safe. I honestly never thought this would be possible when I started this page but you proved me wrong. This outcome belongs entirely to the 1,070 people who refused to stay silent.
Dear President Bush and my U.S. Senators:
On June 23, 2005 the U.S. Supreme Court decided, by a 5 to 4 vote, that state and local governments could use eminent domain procedures to seize homes for the purpose of private use by real estate developers. Eminent domain is the process used under the Constitution
I honestly never thought this would reach one hundred signatures when I first started. It is truly humbling to see so many of you care about our homes as much as I do.

Kelo v. New London was a huge mistake. Property rights are supposed to mean something in this country.

UNBELIEVABLE. A private company wants more money so they use the government to kick us out?? STOP THIS.

My family has lived here for 40 years. Disgraceful that they think they can just bulldoze our memories for a strip mall.

If they can do this to anyone it stops being a free country. Keep your hands off our land.

So scary to think about. I worked way to hard for my home to let some developer take it.

This is just plain theft. My house isnt for sale and no developer should have the power to just take it from me.
