Thanks for your comments. I know that things like this are happening everywhere. Carla Main was recently in the area discussing her book about the eminent domain case of Freeport, TX (which involved the Bush family’s involvement of the taking of farmer’s property for a private business venture).

Oil rigs, shopping malls, power lines– we Americans don’t have chance anymore, do we. Government has become a tyrant. Time to stand up for our rights.

Eminent Domain is just step one in the eradication of the illegal search and seizure part of the bill of rights. Eventually, the entire Bill of Rights will have sentimental value only.

I’m so sorry your town is having to go through this. It seems such a pretty, peaceful place.

Shinade: we’re just to the south of you in TX. The gas rigs have taken over, but people are fighting and making a little headway. Folks from Colorado are coming to meet with our mavericks to see what they can learn from us because the gas wells are headed their way, too.

I like your blog. I can’t wait to read more. I just wanted to comment on this post. I live in Central New York. While the proposed power lines will not go through our town, I feel for anyone effected. I hope it can be stopped.

Absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. This is simply terrible. I am so sorry to hear it.

I am down in Oklahoma and we are very disgruntled about all of the new oil rigs going in. They are popping up all over the place.

I live in a very rural setting around one of the largest man made lakes in the US. It’s the place we bought for retirement.

Now every time I drive into town I always yet another tower where they have begun to drill.

We keep waiting to wake up one morning and find them in our front yard.

I hope you all win the battle but I know it is an uphill one.

Good Luck and my best wishes for a good week!!

“Oh, AND they have demanded that New York State subsidize their business by having the state guarantee the company a 13.5% profit.” That is an outrage. Can anybody say “crony-capitalism?” I hope this all does get stopped.
