Initiatives put property rights back in taxpayers' hands
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Voters in 9 states across the
nation struck a blow for liberty today by supporting an initiative
to stop eminent domain abuse. Americans for Limited Government
(ALG), a major force in galvanizing support and promoting the state
initiatives, is thrilled to see so many hard-fought battles won.
"This is an amazing first step in the long walk away from big
government," said Americans for Limited Government Executive
Director Bill Wilson. "For an upstart campaign to enjoy this level
of success is truly gratifying and we look forward to using our
momentum to achieve great victories in the future." Voters in
Arizona, Florida, Oregon, Michigan, North Dakota, New Hampshire,
South Carolina, Georgia and Nevada supported proposals to prevent
the government from imposing land-use measures on private property.
In a statement today, ALG Chairman Howie Rich said, "I'm proud of
the work that ALG and its state partners and allies have done in
promoting the ideals of liberty. Our efforts have successfully
raised voters' awareness about the need for fiscal restraint in the
face of unchecked government spending and land grabs. We have
helped lay the foundation for real advocacy on behalf of small
landowners and taxpayers across the country, and our movement will
only get stronger as more Americans awaken to the fact that state
and local governments nationwide are out of control." Discussing
ALG's post-election plans, Mr. Rich had this to say: "Where we have
succeeded, you can be sure that we'll continue to build on that
success. Where the initiatives to limit spending and protect homes
and churches have come up short, you can be sure that we'll be
back, stronger than before. This is a movement that will continue
to grow." Americans for Limited Government Foundation is committed
to promoting individual liberty, free markets, and the principles
of the U.S. Constitution. We empower voters and grassroots groups
with the knowledge they need to make real political change happen
across the country. DATASOURCE: Americans for Limited Government
