Property Rights Petition Update

The petition is off to a slow start. Very slow. After five days there is a total of 94 signatures (including those names appearing on the petition). Not exactly a blistering pace. Something needs to be done. A few blogs have linked the petition and I am very grateful. But we need more.

So tonight I am issuing a Fox News Challenge. In the spirit of “We Report. You Decide,” I challenge bloggers everywhere to link the petition and let their readers decide.

If you don't think the idea of amending the Constitution in response to Kelo is a good one, link the petition and let your readers decide.

If you like the idea of amending the Constitution in response to Kelo but think this amendment stinks, link the petition and let your readers decide.

If you could care less about the Supreme Court, the Constitution, or property rights link the petition and let your readers decide.

If you like the idea of government taking property from private citizens to sell to corporations and developers, link the petition and let your readers decide.

1 Why stop at bloggers? Why not issue a press release to Fox News (online and station)and other shows and newspapers that will be more than glad to pick this up from the angle of the judges. Next week is a dull news week in DC with Congress having passed most of the major legislation and gearing up for Roberts interview. Kelo would add one more angle for media to explore, especially given the backlash to the decision.

2 Going Mainstream is the next step. Hopefuly it helps the petition doesn't seem to be getting much traction around the blogosphere.

3 much as I like the idea, I won't be signing the petition because ONLINE PETITIONS ARE USELESS. or even worse than useless. They have zero credibility with politicians.
