Join Our Coalition
Because our membership is spread throughout Virginia, we do not hold regular meetings
but stay in contact through e-mail and alerts. We are very active when the General
Assembly is in session from January through March. This is when our phone calls, letters,
e-mails and attendance at committee/subcommittee meetings are critical to passage of the
reforms we support.
It has been demonstrated that unless our representatives hear from us during the General
Assembly, they believe the lobbyists for condemning authorities who are relentless, well
funded, and always take the position that "reforms are not needed," no problem exists with
Virginia's current Eminent Domain Law, and that the "few property owners who go to court
simply see this an opportunity to get rich."
To Join
There is no charge or fee to become a Coalition member. The only requirement is a
willingness to help change Virginia's Eminent Domain Laws and create a system that is
fair to property owners. To join, simply fill out the form below. This information is needed
to determine your legislative district and will be held in strict confidence.
As a member you will receive Alerts and Updates during the 2007 Session of the General
Assembly and we will let you know when your Senator and Delegate need to hear from you.
Your full address is needed below so we can determine who your Legislators are for the
purpose of Alerts.

One of the principal purposes of the Takings Clause is to bar government from forcing some
people to bare public burdens, which in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a
whole. A desire to improve the public condition does not justify circumventing the "constitutional way "
of paying for what the government wants. If a government wants property for the public good, the
public must pay for the property. Chief Justice W. Rehnquist
