Well, I am a Republican and I am for personal rights via the Constitution so I am vaccinated against such eminent domain issues....
I'm safe. /s
Evil and unconstitutional.
Where's the check on SCOTUS? It's clearly not in the ballot box!
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
I’m thinking of repealing this travesty using the third amendment. Consider this: If , even in time of war fought on our soil, your house cannot be used to station troops, then how can the worse outcome of tearing it down for the less important reason of higher tax values be constitutional?

Call to Action - Letter to Texas state politicians
To Texas State Representative,
You are my representative in the Texas State Government and I am asking you to represent me in the attack of the federal government against my personal liberties. I am asking you to stand up to for freedom and express to the United States Government that when they overstep Constitutional authority, Texas will not fall victim to their tyranny.
In San Antonio is a monument to freedom that has never been matched; the courage of the men and women there in that mission has never been replicated. The dire situation that was upon Texas in 1836 is slowly returning, but by no stretch is it to the magnitude that causes battles such as The Alamo. The growth of the federal government and the slow method at which they have been taking our freedom is spinning out of control.
As a citizen of Texas, I want you to know that I am afraid of the steps the federal government is taking to compromise my freedom. I am also worried about the steps the federal government is taking to bypass the Constitution that was designed to protect me. I am signing this petition to ask you to protect me from the federal government. Sign a resolution of nullification for all legislation passed by the United States Government starting as soon as the resolution is signed. Write a resolution that states that any bill passed will not become law in Texas without the Texas Government passing the law. The resolution must also say that the Texas Government is not to change any meetings and must adhere to the State Constitution’s meeting schedule. Under the powers of the Tenth Amendment, Texas reserves the right to accept and reject all federal legislation.
Also, I know that you cannot meet in session until 2011 without a Special Session called by Governor Perry, I am asking you as my representative to request one be called. I am also asking you to have the resolution ready to be entered into both houses with the same language to smooth out this process as quickly as possible. This is necessary to ensure my freedoms and yours, so act with haste.
Sincerely,
