Hats Off to the Lone Star State
More than a few people are upset with the Supreme Court's ruling on eminent domain (Kelo v. New London). U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) has filed "aggressive property rights protection legislation" in response to the Court's ruling. Similar bills (H.R. 3083 and H.R. 3087) have also been filed by U.S Representative Gingrey (R-Georgia) and U.S. Representative Rehberg (R-Montana).
I encourage all of you to write your U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators requesting that they support this or similar legislation. Your historic home's future may depend on it.
You might write your state representatives as well. I know that state representatives in Texas and Oklahoma are proposing amendments to their state constitutions to restrict the use of eminent domain too.
