Boyd Fights for Our Rights!

Just a head's up about one of the good things that our local electeds are doing for us, and in this instance, for the whole country!

This week Congressman Allen Boyd joined Congressman Henry Bonilla (TX) in introducing bipartisan legislation that will penalize eminent domain abuses. This legislation comes in response to a June 2005 U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing governments to use eminent domain to take away private property and transfer it to someone else for their private gain. The Strengthening the Ownership of Private Property (STOPP) Act (HR 3405) will prevent governments from taking property from one private party and giving it to another private party.
