Taxes
HB8
Supermajority Required to Raise Taxes
Introduced by Rep Bobby Humphryes
1st Reading, In House C&E Committee
Support
Constitutional Amendment to protect the citizens rights of Eminent
Domain. The best piece of legislation has been sponsored by Senator Steve
French. This is greatly needed in the light of previous legislation
authorizing counties to seize property in the name of "job creation".
Another example of Bob Riley either asleep at the wheel or passively
allowing special interests to dominate the Alabama Legislature.

Support
SB368
On Wednesday March 1, there will be a Public Hearing on Eminent
Domain legislation. We all see what is going on all over the country in
regards to eminent domain: municipalities are seizing Private Property in
order to raise tax revenue.
Private Property is the bedrock of Freedom, and now is the time to
protect that most basic of all our rights. As Senator Mitchell has denied
the voters of Alabama a Public Hearing on SB446, this will most likely be
our last chance at a hearing on this issue.
We need to let our legislators know that while there are several
well meaning bills on Eminent Domain, SB368 (Senator French's bill) is the
bill that will go the farthest in protecting Private Property rights.
Steve Anderson, of the Institute of Justice in Washington, DC, who
was an attorney for the Kelo case, is scheduled to be at this hearing and
speaking on behalf of Property Rights.
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED!
The hearing is tentatively set for 1:30PM, with the meeting room to
be announced. We will notify you immediately of any changes. In the
meantime, contact your legislators and let them know that SB368 is THE
bill that will go the farthest in protecting our Private Property rights.
Keep Up the Good Fight!
Sincerely,
Michael Mastro, Alabamians for Real Reform
