Susette Kelo: Act to End Eminent Domain Abuse, June 23, 2008


www.IJ.org Three years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that my little pink cottage in New London, Connecticut, could be handed over to a private developer. It was just one of 10000 instances of eminent domain abuse to occur in the United States over a 5-year period. Just one instance—yet a tipping point that sparked a national revolution. On this, the third anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s dreadful decision, I’m asking for 10000 people to join me in donating to the non-profit legal foundation that stood by me all the way to the Supreme Court, and continues to stand by heroic individuals fighting to keep the homes that are rightfully theirs. By donating to the Institute for Justice on the anniversary of the ruling—June 23, 2008—you will become a Founding Member of the Susette Kelo Liberty Club. Every single dollar raised during this special event will be used to fight eminent domain abuse across the nation. And while all donations are appreciated, I hope you’ll consider giving your most generous gift of $25, $50, $100, or more. Even a $5 contribution will send a message to those in power that our homes are important to us and must be protected. Yours in Freedom, Susette Kelo
