It looks obvious

Three years ago, on June 23rd, the US Supreme court ruled in favor of the city of New London,Connecticut in a case of eminent domain. The decision effect is that cities all over the US are within their constitutional authority to use the power of eminent domain to take one’s property and transfer it to a corporations that will develop it.

Suzette Kelo and The institute for Justice, which I mentioned before and that represented Kelo in this case, marking the day and set a general fund raising to fight other cases of eminent domain:

On this, the third anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s dreadful decision, I’m asking for 10,000 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.

Eminent Domain abuse continues coast-to-coast! Despite tremendous gains in state courts and state legislatures since the Supreme Court’s ruling, eminent domain abuse is still rampant. Click on the links below to read more.

Eminent Domain is an evil and abusive way to takes one property against one will and never for fair price, since a fair price can only be determine by voluntary agreement. It is an abuse of government power to serve the interest of the few, under the horrible slogan of the “The Greater Good”. Small donation for the Institute for Justice on June 23rd, will be small, but important, step fighting it.

I’m getting a lot of requests for donation in my mail. Lately they are more focused on political causes, which make me lough. I have a several organizations that I donate regularly, like the Cato institute and the JNF and I tend to be suspicious before adding new organization to my ,very limited, donation budget. But a new mail today expose my to an organization that I added gladly to my list - The Institute for Justice

The institute for Justice is, apparently, a Libertarian law firm and as such it is litigating cases to protect human rights and the constitutional limits on the power of government. The name of this organization sound familiar, mainly because I heard it when watching the story of a restaurant in Arizona that had to fight an abusive local government. The restaurant’s owners, a father and sun, were represented by the Institute for Justice, which recently won the case. Additional search about the institute reviles cases of property rights, freedom of speech and many other similar issues. This is definitely and organization that I consider important and that deserve my, modest, support.

So if there is some room in your donation budget I would recommend to add the Institute for Justice.
