Stop government seizures of your property for private benefit The Supreme Court's "Kelo" decision has re-written the Constitution and given governments at all levels the power to seize your personal property for the benefit of private interests.
Legislation pending in Congress (S. 1313) seeks to limit this new governmental power. But S. 1313 has severe weaknesses — it lacks a statement of Constitutional authority and an enforcement mechanism. S. 1313 is toothless.
DownsizeDC.org, Inc. has prepared an amendment to fix these problems. The full text of S. 1313, along with DownsizeDC.org's ammendment, and the reasons for our proposed changes, can be found on the BACKGROUND page.
We urge you to urge Congress to pass S. 1313 with our amendment. To send your message to Congress for this purpose, follow the instructions, and use the form provided below.
