What is Private Property? Wayne Hage's battle to protect private property -- his and yours After fourteen years of courtroom battles to regain control over the property he claims was taken from him, you could say that rancher Wayne Hage knows a thing or two about private property, the law and government coercion. Tonight, Michael Shaw, Abundance Ecologist, will host a discussion with Hage during a special two-hour edition of the Freedom 21 radio show.
Hage, whose wife Helen is a former member of Congress, will tell of his winding journey through the courts after federal agencies pushed him off the land and criminalized his normal ranch operations. He will describe how the government has lost all semblance of respect for the institution of private property (which undergirds all other rights), and how the implementation of Sustainable Development policies will eradicate liberty and justice for all.
Whether you're a rancher, a suburbanite or a city dweller, this show is sure to give you something to think about. Wayne Hage doesn't just tell a good story -- he gives great advice on how ordinary citizens can stand up for themselves, even in a judicial system where the chips are stacked against them.
Tune in tonight from 8 PM to 10 PM (PST) to learn more about private property, why it matters, what's going on in the courts, and how YOU can make a difference for the future.

FYI
Tell me about it. The Gov't is just as bad as a home owners association. Mine is dictating to me about my modest and tasteful Christmas light display being in violation. After really reading the covenants for the first time, I realized that they (D.R. Horton, the developer)own it and I make the payments!
Our county is pushing a community plan for our town. Community plans effectively place covenants with the county on private property that never had any before.
The person who is head of the "community plan" committee works for the USDA and the USDA is pushing community plans nationwide.
Like your homeowners association, the government wants to own all the land and just grant you the privilege of paying taxes on it.
You should phone in and ask him.
sounds like a good show, hope we have a thread about it tomorrow.
Its not often you hear a person advocating property rights in public these days. In the communist county of Santa Cruz, property rights are something to be done away with.
Its terribly frustrating that people don't realize that America cannot be the land of the free without the right to own property free and clear.
Ownership of anything, without control, should be ruled illegal and unconstitutional! Any impingement on the control inherent in ownership exerts a chilling effect on the reasons for ownership (and financing) and demeans the value of what is owned!!!
Only in cases where my rights of ownership and control interfere directly with your rights of ownership and control of your property, should there be litigation or compromise between us as owners of our controlling interest!!!
Are you in Santa Cruz county?
Thank you!!!
I live in Santa Cruz County.

It's always a good idea to thoroughly read any homeowner's association documents, particularly bylaws, before purchasing any property associated with that association. In fact, it's a must-do thing.
Not only that, but you need to check to be sure those rules cannot be easily changed by the sitting board. Only by doing that can you make a good choice.
As you're finding, HOA's can completely control your use of your home and surrounding property.
Tell me more about this. I'm not familiar with land patents.
