Next Tuesday, March 31, the Institute for Justice will hold a press conference on the south steps of the Texas State Capitol to release our mid-term report card on the various legislative proposals to reform the state's eminent domain laws. As you know, Texas still has a ways to go until all of your homes, businesses, churches and farms are protected from eminent domain for private gain. IJ staff will be joined by affected property owners from Freeport, El Paso, San Antonio and Houston. We hope you will be able to join us, too! This is our opportunity to show the legislature that Texans still care about eminent domain abuse.

Press Conference on Eminent Domain Abuse in Texas
Tuesday, March 31 @ 12pm
South steps of the State Capitol
1100 Congress Avenue, Austin

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you are interested in sharing your personal battle against eminent domain abuse with legislators. And as always, forward this e-mail to your friends, family and colleagues!

In the meantime, we encourage you to contact your representatives and tell them that you support strong eminent domain reform that earns Texas the A+ it deserves (see: http://www.castlecoalition.org/pdf/publica...ates/texas.pdf). You can find out who represents you here: http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/.

The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates. – Tacitus

The true danger is when Liberty is nibbled away, for expedients. – Edmund Burke (1899)

When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence. – Gary Lloyd

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. – Lord Acton (1887)

In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. – Edward Gibbon
