Please come out and state that you want no more private land taken for roads in this country.

I dare you.

UH, NO! Clearly you missed my (sarc).


I couldn't find a link for the 70's expansion of Ft. Hood TX. but, I was born and grew up around there. The Military wanted to use eminent domain to take more land (some 400 sq. mi.)(to add to the 250,000 ac. they already had) surrounding the base. (they wanted to test cruise missiles and didn't have enough acreage) The land owners and surrounding comm. (I believe it was called, Our Land, Our Lives) got together and said NO Way! After a lengthy court battle, the military backed off. Chalk that one up to the people. Hopefully, the millions of people who have raised their voices in opposition to the TTC, will also prevail.
