Few things are more sacred than our right to own property, farm, and provide for our families. That’s why our Founding Fathers sought to protect landowners from government land grabs with the Fifth Amendment. Sadly, too many Washington bureaucrats don’t get it—and that’s precisely why we need stronger laws to protect our rights.
