Freestar Media: "Lost Liberty Hotel" proposed on Justice Souter's land

Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter's land.

Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.

On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."

Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.

"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."

Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.

Please add me to the ping list as well!

Promise the city 20% of the profits. Those three aldermen will be fighting each other to sign on board.

I'd also recommend every piece of property owned by each of the five who voted in the affirmative, to be targeted right along with Souter's.

Great idea!

Ironically, my own homepage used to include "Buddhis,. Deist." on it.

[doug from upland]

That looks like a lovely spot for a hotel.

[Hi Heels]

Thanks. Ditto.

[mabelkitty]

How about an Indian Casino?

[Brad’s Gramma]

I would be honored to be on your ping list.

Please.

Ah, yes. I can see it now; The Streisand Compound surrounded by low income housing.

She loves the poor, but Brolin, he hates them........OS

Speilbergs house not itself appropriated, but surrounded by a replacement for Gitmo.

Oh, the possibilities!

If you want to limit it to the five that voted against property rights, Why pick on O'Connor?

You have Kennedy, Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer.

O' Connor's not on the list.

Uunnggghhh, that's "Buddhist, Deist."

Dang spelling gremlin....

Now here is a gorgeous spot for a bed and breakfast. Each room could probably command $1,000 a night, and it could generate enormous taxes for the city of Malibu.

Where's Gil Cedillo live? :)

[television is just wrong]

lol where do I call for reservations?

[television is just wrong]

He writes that this is NOT a joke.

[Hi Heels]

Sorry BG... don't know. Doug might. I'm in Ventura County.

[television is just wrong]

He said he is not kidding. The city council is 5 members. He needs only 3 to approve this request.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I don't like Gil. I've NEVER liked Gil. I'm likin' Gil less and less each day.

He needs his home taken too. Yeppers.

Er ... did something drastic happen, or did you just decide to change your homepage to include only lists?

You forget that NH people love Souter -- he is a creation of Republicans: George Herbert Walker Bush, John Sununu, and Warren Rudman.
