[Peninsula-Patriots] Fwd: Important action needed

Patriots - from our member Sue Long:

 

Dear Defender of Property Rights.

 

Here is an opportunity to promote the cause of property rights and of  farmers - a cause that would benefit us all.

 

For information see the following from Campaign for Liberty. Then send an email to these delegates.  Just copy and paste the whole list in your bcc window,  name a subject and add a short message  asking them to vote for the Boneta bill, HB 1430.  Not even five minutes of your time is all it would take - but the results could be enormous.

Sherwood (Chairman)   Delegate R. Lee Ware, Jr. Delegate Thomas C. Wright, Jr.  Delegate Edward T. Scott Delegate Robert D. Orrock, Sr. Delegate Daniel W. Marshall, III Delegate Charles D. Poindexter Delegate Brenda L. Pogge Delegate Barry D. Knight Delegate James E. Edmunds, II Delegate Tony O. Wilt Delegate James W. Morefield  Delegate Michael J. Webert Delegate Margaret B. Ransone  Delegate C. Matthew Fariss Delegate Kenneth R. Plum Delegate Lynwood W. Lewis, Jr. Delegate David L. Bulova Delegate Matthew James Delegate Mark D. Sickles Delegate Luke E. Torian Delegate Mark L. Keam    For an email blast to all above: DelTWright@house.virginia.gov, DelBSherwood@house.virginia.gov, DelLWare@house.virginia.gov, DelEScott@house.virginia.gov, DelBOrrock@house.virginia.gov, DelDMarshall@house.virginia.gov, DelJEdmunds@house.virginia.gov, DelCPoindexter@house.virginia.gov, DelBPogge@house.virginia.gov, DelBKnight@house.virginia.gov, deltwilt@house.virginia.gov, DelJMorefield@house.virginia.gov, DelMWebert@house.virginia.gov, DelMRansone@house.virginia.gov, DelMFariss@house.virginia.gov, DelKPlum@house.virginia.gov, DelLLewis@house.virginia.gov, DelDBulova@house.virginia.gov, DelMJames@house.virginia.gov, DelMSickles@house.virginia.gov, DelLTorian@house.virginia.gov, DelMKeam@house.virginia.gov   In the three years we have fought to defend property rights in Virginia, not one local elected official or local planner has been able to name a single activity on one's own land that does not require permission from local government.   We must act now if we are to preserve our inherent right to private property!   Please contact members of the House Committee on Agriculture, and Chesapeake and Natural Resources to end this assault on property rights today!   Tell the members of the committee to stop this assault on property rights NOW!      Tell them to protect your inherent right to own and control the use of your land against abusive land use restrictions imposed by local government.   Tell them to cast a "yes" vote to sendHB1430 to the House floor immediately.    The 5th Amendment says "No person shall be...deprived of life, liberty, or property,  without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."     When we lose the right to own and control property, we become property.     Please act now without delay!    Yours in liberty, Donna Holt Executive Director Virginia Campaign for Liberty   P.S. You must act now if you are to preserve the inherent right to private property!     Contact the members of the House Agriculture, and Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee and tell them to vote in favor of HB1430 today!   Please consider making a small contribution to keep us in this fight for the property rights of all Virginians.

For Freedom,

Sue
