Citizens for Property Rights
Your property rights and freedoms are under assault and your own tax dollars are being used to help pay for it.
Your elected officials are being lobbied to impose countywide land use planning/controls and/or zoning.
Zoning means that you’ll no longer be free to utilize your property as you see fit, but you will have to ask the county and they will tell you what you can and cannot do with your own property based on zoning regulations they pass.
Make yourself heard, call your elected officials and insist they publicly pledge to protect & defend your rights.
Insist candidates for office make a public pledge to protect and defend your rights if they are elected.
Our Fathers wisely left a free Greene County for us; let’s leave it that way for our children too!
Say YES to your rights and freedoms; say NO to government control of private property!
Join us and together help protect all our rights!!!
Our Mission
You are invited to become part of Citizens for Property Rights, a group of Greene County residents formed in response to the threat to the property rights and freedoms of landowners, renters, and business owners alike. We are an issue only interest group and are not affiliated with any political party or other organization and we welcome all citizens of either party or independents as members.
The Greene County Economic Development Corporation, a private non-profit business interest group, contracted by your elected officials and supported by your tax dollars is lobbying to impose land use planning and controls/zoning in Greene County, a sad fate already suffered by so many of our neighbor counties, and is now actively lobbying our elected officials to do so. The GCEDC is currently conducting a planning study, which is also being paid for by your tax dollars and will become the legal foundation for ordinances, which will take away your property rights forever if they are passed. The public should be outraged that their own money is being spent to deprive them of their rights. Demand that your elected officials end their association with this group and put an end to this activity. Join us; help oppose this action and keep our rights for our children and us in the future.
Below is a statement of our mission. After reading the statement, if you agree with our aims, and would like to join us, we welcome you. Simply fill out the Petition/Membership form.
We believe in the full and free use and enjoyment of our property, which we own, and that such use should be free from interference, threat, or control from anyone and especially, control in any form by the government. We believe that except for violating criminal laws or posing a public health hazard, that this is the right of all property owners. We will not compromise our freedoms for perceived or promised gains; for fear of our neighbors, or for the narrow or imaginary objectives of others.
We will strive to do the following:
- Work independently and together to increase the membership of our group. Encourage new members to become active politically and otherwise, and to assist in our efforts to increase our membership and achieve our goals. Advocate our goals publicly, privately, and politically.
- Identify both elected officials and candidates of either party who, based both on their words or their actions, have demonstrated their support or lack of support for everyone’s freedoms. Work publicly, privately, and at the polls for their election or defeat by informing the voting public at the polls. Work to ensure that Greene County is controlled by the voters, not by misinformed or unresponsive elected officials who think they know better than the citizens or who are being influenced by others.
- Above all else, VOTE and advocate family, friends, and others to vote for the right candidates to achieve our goals and protect our rights. Remember, voting and voting in great numbers is your only voice in public matters. Your rights and freedom are being threatened from within the political process by a very small fringe group of well financed and organized advocates. They are relying on your apathy and lack of concern or knowledge to ensure their success. If you don’t take part in that process and work to eliminate the threat posed by them and protect your rights, you will be victimized. Don’t forget, they cannot take your freedom unless you allow it. Together we can work to protect our rights; separately, we can do nothing. Thanks.
