UNBELIEVABLE - PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION - STOP RIDICULOUS GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION!

Submitted by: Kathy Hawkins

You won’t believe this one…
 
Imagine this scenario:

Your property is covered with diseased and invasive trees and brush, some of which must be removed by state law. You remove those diseased trees and transform your property into a Christmas tree farm. But instead of enjoying your property as you designed it, the local government comes knocking on your door to present a fine of more than $450,000!

Sound too ridiculous to be true?


That’s what happened to brothers Gary and Matt Percy, all because they cut down trees and invasive foliage on their own property without a permit. Canton Township, their local government, fined them more than $300 per tree.

This is a blatant, unconstitutional violation of the Percy brothers’ private property rights. That’s why attorneys from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, filed a lawsuit against the government for violating their constitutional rights.

Stories like these don’t just affect the town they happen in. The ruling on the lawsuit can set a precedent that affects property rights for the rest of the country—including yours. That’s why I’d like to ask you to stand with us on behalf of the Percy Brothers.

If you’d like to sign your name in support of the Percy Brothers, please click here.

Thanks for reading.        

Sincerely Yours,

Kevin D. Roberts, Ph.D.
Executive Director
