 “Fight
the Good Fight for Private Property Rights” - By Don
Corace, Real Estate Developer and Author, Naples, Florida; Presented
at Twelfth Annual National Conference on Private Property Rights
(PRFA, Albany, N.Y., October 18, 2008)
The assault on private property rights includes eminent domain
abuse like that of Susette Kelo for private development, and
regulatory takings where the property owner receives zero compensation.
Ocie Mills of Florida was the first man to go to federal prison
for a wetland violation, singled out by the Corps of Engineers
because he spoke out. In Pompano Beach, Florida, two men who
had all their permits to build a hotel were stopped with 31 years
by their NIMBY neighbors who didn’t want their ocean
view obstructed. One brother, a millionaire, lost everything,
and had a stroke. Join together, put on your gloves, and fight
abuses of private property rights.

 “Land
Grab by Conservation Easement” - By J. Zane Walley,
Speech, Sixth Annual New York Conference on Private Property
Rights (PRFA, Nov. 2002)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is enlarging the Everglades
by using its canals to raise the water level in Dade County,
Florida - flooding an 8.5 square mile area where over 500 families
live, ruining the avocado orchards and other farms, and making
the area uninhabitable. Transferable development rights are also
imposed to return the land to “Wildlands.”

 “Beware
of Those Noxious Wildlife Corridors” - By Nate Dickinson,
Wildlife Biologist (PRFA, Aug 16, 2002)
Americans should wake up to the threat to traditional American
values posed by the pseudo-science of the Wildlands Project,
which is being used to advocate federal ownership of land between
“core” areas such as the Okefenokee and
Osceola National Forests in Florida.
