Yesterday the Supreme Court crossed the line.

An Associated Press story headline read: "The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses — even against their will — for private economic development." Please read this, because this decision will set a precedent to usurpe your rights as a property owner. In my opinion, this is completely unconstitutional. I urge you to write to all your lawmakers (links provided at the bottom of this page) to express your dismay at this shocking infringement on the American people's rights to own and control their own property. Read the original amendments below, and please write to your legislators about this. A Supreme Court decision should be based on the law, on constitutional rights, and common sense. This one was not.

Amendment IV - Search and seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment XIV - Citizenship rights. Ratified 7/9/1868.
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive [Deprive: deprive v. 1. To take something away from; divest. 2. To keep from the possession of something] any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process [Property may be taken by the government only for public purposes ] of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. (http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am4)

It's the old "Frog In The Pot" story again. Never get so comfortable that you give away your birthright. Or your children's birthright. Much of the lawmaking is a direct result of powerful lobbies (Political Action Committees, that, in my opinion, should be outlawed) by wealthy individuals or companies bent on protecting their self-interests with a staff of attornies paid to do the same, or it is the result of panic or fear. A fear-based society will gladly hand over individual rights, for what they perceive as "protection" or a "common good". We need to be careful how we define "common good"- actions on the part of communities wishing to increase their tax coffers does not necessarily indicate a "common good" when individuals are deprived of the right to keep their home, for the ultimate benefit of private business interests.

We should not be a fear-based society. Fear shuts you down, and it will shut this nation down, if allowed to continue to permeate our judicial system. On a societal level, our individual rights are our most prized possession. Let no one take that away from you.

Making lawmakers accountable takes just a little effort on your part:
Being aware of proposed changes in the law and how they will affect people,
Contacting your Mayor, Governor, Senator, Congressman, or President through emails, letters, or phone calls.

You can make a difference, with just those two things. You don't have to be wealthy, privileged, or powerful to make a difference. If not for yourself, do it for your family.

Consider the Possibilities�
Watch this One to Trad,e!

Because, EGTY has secured the global rights to market
genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!

EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.

KEEP READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

===============
"BREAKING NEWS"
===============

-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.

Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
T
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.

Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.

Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.

Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

Conclusion:

The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!


GO EGTY!
