This November, 13 states are doing what N.C. is not: voting on property rights questions

According to this UPI Article, property rights questions will appear on the ballot on 13 states this November. Unfortunately, the North Carolina is not one of those states.

Earlier this year, the legislative leadership
killed a bill calling for a constitutional amendment to protect our private property from eminent domain abuse, instead passing a legislative "solution" that simply isn't strong enough. If the legislature had not killed this bill -- a bill that had more sponsors in the House than the number of votes required for its passage in that same chamber -- this amendment would appear on our ballot (either this November or in a future election).

North Carolina property owners need a constitutional amendment to protect our property rights. An amendment will stand the test of time and is not easily changed by the whims of future poll-driven legislative bodies. If you agree, please sign our petition calling for this amendment.
