You're absolutely right, but unfortunately, there is no one bandwagon -- people are still seeing these issues too narrowly.

For example, many people who are outraged by anti-smoking controls support the war on marijuana smokers. Many people who are appalled by government seizing land for private development support government seizing guns, or shutting down strip clubs. And so on. Until we all unite behind a common principle of property ownership and personal liberty (even if we don't personally like the use to which the property is being put, or how some people are using their liberty), we won't have the numbers to stop the exploding growth and power of government.
