Companies will invest in New London BECAUSE of eminent domain abuse. A city that is willing to take property for development is a beacon to companies looking for places to expand. It's been that way for years.
As more new businesses build in New London, people outside of New London looking for work will flock there seeking employment. As they rumble in like a herd of cattle, MORE existing homes will be razed to build apartments and condos for them.
I believe that it's time for a massive phone/e-mail/snail mail effort to every empty suit on Captitol Hill. Every day, nights, weekends, and holidays. Our legislators need to know that the people who actually cast the votes, not the ones who make the gazillion-dollar donations, are who puts and KEEPS them in office.
Can we take a few minutes each day to send a few e-mails? We're talking about 5 or 10 minutes out of 24 hours.
I just got off the phone with the Pfizer help line. Here are 2 emails that may be useful.

I own some stock in pfizer and I plan on emailing them my concerns about the marketing problems of ''stealing private property'' by using eminant domain.
