Governor Bush,
It has come to my attention that a disabled Navy veteran, Jesse Hardy, who has homesteaded his property and adopted a seven year old boy, is in danger of being run off of his land there in southern Florida if he does not come to terms with the Cabinet directed the Department of Environmental Protection land acquisition agents.
My understanding is that this man's 160 acres would not adversely effect the plans the state has for the other land in that area.
My general belief is, that short of absolute national security issues, or abject health issues impacting the life of citizens, that emminent domain laws have no place being used by any state, county or municipality to acquire citizen's property without their consent. Otherwise we make a mockery of the property rights that so many Americans, dating back to the Revolutionary War have fought, bled and died defending.
Please Governor, call of the speculators, environmentalists and administrators. Let this man live in peace on his own property.
Sincerely,
Jeff Head

Thanks for the opportunity to become involved.
I was repying to you as you were writing that perfectly written letter. You sir, are a true gem of a human. A shiny polished, gleaming one.
Why did I know I could count on you?
