Eminent Domain Is Not A Right (George Vreeland Hill Speaks)

Eminent domain is not the will of a free America.
If the United States Government has the right to take property because of money interests, then we are not living in a free society, but rather in a communist one.
It is a terrible thing when a business can take over a property that has been under family ownership for generations, because of financial gain and other means.
This is not what our founding fathers had in mind when they declared this nation to be free.
We have forgotten that this great country was founded on the words, "We the people ...."

We have become a nation of we the rich leaders can do whatever we want to.
This will change, because the power really belongs to the voters, who in the end, can decide what is right for themselves.
We have a sad history of yelling about matters, rather than voting the problems out.
If the Republicans are the problem, then vote them out.
If you feel that an elected official regardless of party is a problem to you, or is not doing the job that he or she is supposed to do, then vote them out.
Make your voice heard, and make your vote count.
You do not have to put up with the issue of eminent domain, or any other issue that you do not feel is right.
If a business or the government takes your home, then you are as much at fault as they are.
Being free is your right!
Owning property is your right as an American!!
It is not up to any business or government branch to take the property that you have a right to own.
Thank you.
I am,
George Vreeland Hill
