This week Wictory Wednesday is supporting the reelection of Jean Schmidt to the House of Representatives.

Congresswoman Schmidt is a supporter of private property rights
against the rising level of abuse of eminent domain by cities and
states. Emiment domain is the widely criticized practice by which local
governments kick you out of your home, pay you a (now very deflated)
price for your house, and then hand it over to big business. Some of
the rampant abuse of eminent domain has had governments pay only $1 for
property worth over a million, and the City of New London charging
"back rent" for citizens who exercise their legal rights and
challenged the city's eminent domain action in court. Congresswoman
Schmidt is commited to ending the abuse of local governments by
curtailing eminent domain.

Representative Schmidt has been a strong proponent of fiscal
responsibility and has cosponsored legislation to give the President a
line-item veto to help curtail the abuse of earmarks tagged on to
legislation. She also understands that part and parcel of cutting taxes
is reducing spending, not increasing it.

Lastly, Representative Schmidt understands that a nation worthy of
the title of nation must secure it's borders. This is not to say all
legal immigration should be stopped, but it should be a matter of
common sense that immigration should be regulated and orderly. While it
may be difficult to craft a a solution to illegal immigration, it does not follow that an open-borders, full amnesty, and large payoff to illegals is the way to go.

Please consider donating to Representative Schmidt's campaign or volunteering your time.
