stop letting Eminent Domain be used for non-governmental entities. Stop Eminent Domain for profit.

Created by D.U. on July 29, 2013

Stop letting Eminent Domain be used by organizations that are non-governmental entities. Corporations and private companies use Eminent Domain to take land that the owners do not want to sell, just because it is inconvenient to their profit margins. Eminent Domain was set up to allow the government to use land that was needed for operations and defense, not for making more money for another corporation or company. If a land owner does not want to sell the rights to their land, an oil company can force them to with Eminent Domain. If a strip mall wants to expand and someone's house is in the way, Eminent Domain can force them to sell and leave, letting the expansion happen. Do you want the government to force you to sell your land, just because you were in the way of some company?
