SCV camp planned fop this weekend
The Georgia Division of
the Sons of Confederate
Veterans will be presenting
the Third Annual Southern
History Camp Saturday and
Sunday at the Mclntosh
Reserve Park in
Whitesburg.
The camp is named in
honor of Pvt. David Bailey
Freeman who joined
Company C of the Sixth
Georgia Cavalry at the age
of 10 and served throughout
the war as a “marker.”
Freeman has six brothers
who served in the Civil War
and his father served in the
French and Indian War.
History interpreters from
Isakson co-sponsors legislation to
preserve private property rights
Special to the HHJ
WASHINGTON - In
response to the U.S.
Supreme Court decision per
mitting local governments
to take land from one prop
erty owner for the benefit of
another private citizen, U.S.
Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.)
announced this week that
he is co-sponsoring legisla
tion to restrict how the gov
ernment may exercise its
power of eminent domain.
The Protection of Homes,
Small Businesses, and
Private Property Act of
2005, which was introduced
by Sen. John Cornyn (R-
Texas), states that the feder
al government is prohibited
from using the power of
eminent domain to condemn
property for the purpose of
economic development. It
also imposes the same prohi
bition on state and local gov
ernments when the condem
nation involves the use of
federal funds.
“The U.S. Supreme Court
decision last week strikes at
the very heart of our free
enterprise system,” Isakson
said. “This legislation is cru
cial to protecting our basic
private property rights.”

THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
OBITUARIES
the Sons of Confederate
Veterans oversee the event
to ensure that the South’s
true history will be present
ed. Campers will be involved
in historical skits, learn to
fire a musket, and eat just
like the soldiers did.
The camp is open to ladies
and gentlemen age 8 and
above. Each camper must be
accompanied by a responsi
ble adult. The fee for the
camp is S2O per person.
Breakfast, dinner and sup
per will be furnished on
Saturday as well as break
fast on Sunday. Restrooms
and showers are available
on site. Registration will be
at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
The Court’s ruling last
week in Kelo v. City of New
London allows a private for
profit development to quali
fy as a “public use” and
allows a local government to
use eminent domain powers
to take private property
from one citizen and trans
fer it for the benefit of
another. The decision has
been widely condemned.
Historically, under the
Fifth Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, eminent
domain has been used to
acquire private property for
limited purposes such as
roads, sewers, water lines
and other essential public
utilities.
“Private ownership of
land is a fundamental foun
dation of our constitution
and a right that sets
America apart from the rest
of the world. We must act
quickly to protect that
right,” Isakson said.
People Pleasing!
