In 2005 Lauren Canario was arrested when she refused to move from a property seized by the New London Development Corporation using its delegated power of eminent domain. The Supreme Court had just ruled that cities could steal people's property and give it to whomever they wished for whatever arbitrary and capricious reasons they felt like.

Jul 20, 2008 - We have the right, under the constitution, to INSTALL A NEW GOVERNMENT in case the one that we have becomes tyrannical. This is what needs to be DONE. THIS IS IN THE CONSTUTITION. Let's get rid of these fat, lazy, american-hating politicians. Let's get over our petty democratic-republican differences and get rid of these people. IT IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR THIS NATION. there's 300M of us, and many less of them.

Jul 20, 2008 - eminent domain should be a crime. It's a law adopted from the former british government before the revolution and it conflicts with the constitutional rights of an individual citizen. It should be outlawed.

Jul 20, 2008 - your words, wonderful music, lyrics and lauren's bravery are very encouraging. your video is a wonderful tribute to our freedom and to our ability to retain it. thank you for your inspiration. in janesville wi, they use the code department to mis-lable a home or building "blighted", do not pay anything to the owner, invade with armed police, bulldoze, and send the bill to the now homeless owner. flat out armed robbery. changeforjanesville(dot)com. google 'briarmoon carriage barn'

Jul 20, 2008 - At what point do we the people actually get mad enough to do what the colonies did? Will it be when they start killing people for their beliefs or property rights or gun ownership? OH WAIT! REMEMBER WACO? I guess this nation is doomed if we are not willing to fight back :( Live free or die? Nope,Oprah is on.

Jul 20, 2008 - Eminent domain as a principle and eminent domain abuse are two different things.The classic example is highway construction. An absolute right of private property would have practically prevented cities from growing in the US. Not to mention interstate commerce.So read up on what eminent domain is about, and decide whether you want to fight abuse of it (as in this case) or whether you can credibly advocate removal of it entirely.

Jul 20, 2008 - I love it when people like to go against the grain and think they are right. They will continue these stupid protests because this is America and they can say what they want. But the law is never on the side of stupid people, This idiot will keep getting arrersted until she does something real stupid and gets jailed for a long time. Stupid people = Job security for police

Jul 20, 2008 - If I understand it, she is there with the consent of the legitimate property owners so her occupancy is justified just as theirs is.
Bosco20061217 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - Do you believe that the state has the right to seize your property without your consent? I would love to hear your rationale.
kbr7171 Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - What?!The commentor I was responding to said, "Give her back her land".So I will repeat, she has no land to be given back. She didn't and doesn't live there.

Jul 20, 2008 - Lauren Canario is a hero! She stands up for what is right. The government is not on the side of the people, but Lauren is. They arrest her, but they can't stop her. No one can. Lauren stands for real freedom. We the people, support her. Go Lauren! I wish more people were like you! Your friend, George Vreeland Hill
