Defense of Environment and Property Act of 2012

 

As a Senator, I have taken steps to rein in the EPA's war on private property. Thousands of property owners across America are facing aggressive action from the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, with no legal means to fight back. While environmental protection is important, I believe that it must be balanced with the constitutional right of landowners to do what they please with their own property. That is why I introduced S.2122, The Defense of Environment and Property Act of 2012. This bill will restore common sense to federal jurisdiction over navigable waters, and place reasonable limitations on an agency that has become dangerously out of control.

Several organizations have endorsed the Defense of Environment and Property Act of 2012. These include:

FreedomWorks
Americans for Prosperity
American Land Rights Association
American Policy Center
Kentucky Farm Bureau
Kentucky Coal Association
Take Back Kentucky
Crounse Corporation
James DeLong (Author, Property Matters)
Quiet Warrior Racing
BlueRibbon Coaltion
Murray Economic Development Corporation
