"My name is Susette Kelo...I am the Kelo in the Kelo versus the City of New London -- the now-infamous United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that private property, including my home, could be taken by another private party who promises to create more jobs and taxes with the land."

"I was not interested in selling, but [the real estate agent] said that my home would be taken by eminent domain if I refused to sell. She told me stories of her relatives who had lost their home to eminent domain. Her advice? Give up."

"Federal lawmakers should pass legislation that will withhold federal development funding for cities that abuse eminent domain for private development -- such as the one that could take my home, which received 2 million dollars in federal funds."
