As your state Delegate, I want to protect your home and property. I have an important message for Virginia voters who care about protecting their property rights. Since 2007 I have been a strong supporter of strengthening Virginia laws to protect your private property rights from being abused.
On the November 6th ballot, in addition to voting for candidates, you will be asked to vote on Question 1, which is an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that would permanently protect your private property rights.
Here is the exact language of the proposed amendment:
PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Article I. Bill of Rights. Section 11. Due process of law; obligation of contracts; taking of private property; prohibited discrimination; jury trial in civil cases.
BALLOT QUESTION:
Shall Section 11 of Article I (Bill of Rights) of the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to require that eminent domain only be exercised where the property taken or damaged is for public use and, except for utilities or the elimination of a public nuisance, not where the primary use is for private gain, private benefit, private enterprise, increasing jobs, increasing tax revenue, or economic development; (ii) to define what is included in just compensation for such taking or damaging of property; and (iii) to prohibit the taking or damaging of more private property than is necessary for the public use?
I urge you to vote and work for this referendum's passage this November along with our Republican ticket. It is absolutely essential that you do so. Eminent Domain abuse is a threat to our very liberty.
