After years of hard work and saving, you finally own a home. But don't get too comfortable.

Every American should be concerned!

Every American who is concerned with the direction that our country is headed should read this book!

Good info

A great compilation of property rights related horror stories, broken down by category: endangered species, eminent domain, DEC/EPA, etc.

Wake Up to the Loss of Your Rights!

I bought this book because a local city council is overstepping its bounds and telling private property owners what can and cannot be done on their property, but there are so many other things that intrusive government is attempting that exceeds the limits our Framers put in place in the Constitution. You ought to read this book to see what some of them are and how we can all fight back against the "power that be" and reclaim "power to the people."

In direct violation of the the Fourth Amaendment...Nameless, faceless judges and bureaucrats are literally stealing the life work of thousands of private citizens... Buy this book and publicize it....We need thousands of Paul Reveres...

A WAKE UP CALL FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS

Using real life examples, Don Corace reveals how ordinary Americans are being terrorized, robbed, and in some cases even forced into bankruptcy by government officials and judges who have lost all respect for the ideals of freedom envisioned by America's Founding Fathers. Corace provides an easy-to-read overview of the legal cases and political influences which have fostered the dramatic erosion of property rights in America - which continues today at a rapid pace. Government Pirates should be required reading for every citizen and elected official in America. I strongly encourage anyone who believes in the American ideal of freedom and the American Dream of property ownership to purchase and read the shocking property rights abuse cases profiled in Don Corace's new book. Anyone who reads Government Pirates will be jolted into a new level of awareness of the dramatic increase in regulatory power held by local, state and federal government agencies. The type of abuse of power profiled in Government Pirates isn't supposed to happen in America, but it is happening every day to land owners across the country. As Don Corace points out, if Americans do not wake up and begin taking action to reverse these disturbing regulatory trends, we will find ourselves waking up at a point in American history where land owners no longer possess the legal standing or economic ability to fight back when government elites decide that seizing or restricting the use of privately-owned property will benefit "the common good" or win the favor of a special interest group. As the leader of one of the nation's largest state-level property rights organizations, it is my hope that after reading Government Pirates, freedom-loving citizens across the nation will be inspired to seize this opportunity in time to unite in a collective effort to restore sanity to American government regulation.
