Support Private Property Rights!

Heads up on an event in Columbus next Wednesday.... This was forwarded to me by the people at the Institute for Justice. If you can spare the time, I would encourage you to take the time to defend one of the core components of liberty. If you think its wrong for government to steal the home of an elderly couple in order to turn it over to a politically connected real estate developer to build a parking lot for a strip mall, then you need to get out and show your support for the victims of the Norwood City Council....
