"My trip to Weare, New Hampshire was a success on four fronts.
First, I met Weare residents who formed a group to support the Lost Liberty Hotel project.
Second, I met a local attorney who will help us with the legal issues involved.
Third, I met a developer who is considering taking over this project so Freestar can start four similar developments.
Fourth, I gave a speech outlining why the Lost Liberty Hotel Project is both an ethical and effective strategy to help stop eminent domain abuse.
This project is helping keep eminent domain abuse in the news. Already, one state, Alabama, has a passed laws to forbid the use of eminent domain for "economic development".

I didn't know that Ted Koppel was still around. But then I don't follow MSM much except obituaries...
Wasn't no big thang. Just a "Look what this guy is doing" piece. BTW Souter's home is a shack that could easily be described as 'blighted' it's in such dis-repair! Clements was not at all forceful.
Bump and ping!
You can find the "Yes, I want to help" button right here.

I see that you joined on the most patriotic day of the year.
Good planning. ;o)
A belated welcome to Free Republic!
Smile-n-Win, thanks for adding me to your list yesterday.
Here's a ping for you.
According to one report, Souter laughed off the effort saying he hoped he would get a good price. I believe as reclusive as the Justice is, the loss of his retreat would be an enormous blow to his psyche. Good on ya!
Weare-Them-Down ping
FreepMail me to get on or off this ping list for news on the Lost Liberty Hotel!
'Already one state, Alabama, has passed laws prohibiting the use of eminent domain for "economic development".'
(is proud to be an Alabama resident)
Not much coverage of this issue recently. At least the effort is ongoing.
Thanks for the ping. I wondered what became of this project.
