In my quest to help Iowa voters understand what a quality candidate we have in Christopher Reed, I am highlighting Reed’s answer to an Iowa Brigade question about eminent domain.

It is easier to have empathy when it comes to pain or disappointment when you have experience with the same kind of pain. Unless it is YOUR land that is in jeopardy of being taken away by greedy people with their own self interests, it may be difficult to understand the pain that goes along when the government attempts to go the “legal” way of stealing from its citizens. Please try to empathize for the many Iowans who each day fight off greedy people wanting to seize their property.

I urge you to read with care what Christopher Reed has to say about eminent domain. While his answer is short it says much about where he stands on this important issue. We need Reed to stand up for personal property rights because there are more than enough greedy, hard hearted people willing to do all they can to use any way possible to grab up land for whatever reason they deem important.

“Home Sweet Home” takes on a whole new meaning when there is a real threat that someone in power wishes to take your home/property/farm from you.

Eminent Domain is government legally stealing from citizens

Question to Christopher Reed:

Q: What is your position on eminent domain?

A: Eminent Domain is the government’s way of legally stealing from citizens. They should not have the right, in the Land of the Free, to take what is not theirs just because they think it may be used to generate more tax revenue by some large corporate outfit from somewhere else. Personal property rights must be protected. Home is where we feel safe and should never feel threatened while at home.
