Obey Flip Flops on Property Rights

Last week, Obey voted for (Roll Call #568) the Private Property Rights Protection Act which makes governmental entities ineligible for any federal economic development funds if they carry out a wrongful taking. This bill was passed as a response the Supreme Court's unconstitutional Kelo case.

Yet, back on June 30th, Dave Obey voted against (Roll Call #350) an amendment that would have prohibited the use of federal funds to carry out the Kelo case.

This is a case of "I voted against property rights, before I voted for them."

Apparently, Dave Obey decided his anti-property rights vote would get him in too much hot water, so he wanted to make amends. Obey Out looks forward to the exposure of this and more of Obey's record which is so clearly out of touch with the people of the Seventh District.
