INTRODUCTION

This is the fifteenth annual edition of thePrivate Property Congressional Vote Index.The League of Private Property Voters (LPPV)has published the Index each year since 1989.

LPPV is a coalition of more than 600 grassrootsorganizations that advocate the rights ofproperty owners, including farmers, ranchers,woodlot owners, residents of rural communities,owners of recreational property, and inholdersof private property located within and adjacentto federal lands. It also includes cabinpermittees, off-road vehicle owners,equestrians, snowmobilers, hunters andrecreational shooters, and livestock grazers,foresters and miners who make productive useof federal lands.

Votes for this year’s Index were chosen fromdiscussions among approximately twenty fiveleaders of the Wise Use movement nationwide.These votes represent 2003’s most importantsnapshots demonstrating protection of theconstitutional rights of property owners againsta powerful and overbearing federal government.They also show support for recreational andcommercial access for federal lands, uponwhich many rural communities depend and allAmericans share.

We encourage readers to examine the votingrecords of their Senators and Members ofCongress. Please thank those that stood up forus, and educate the rest.

PRIVATE PROPERTY CONGRESSIONAL VOTE INDEX

QUOTE OF THE YEAR:

“It took a while for some people to reallyunderstand Hillary Clinton’s brilliance. Wehad to find a place for her, she is that good.”

- Nevada Senator Harry Reid, gushing to theWashington Post newspaper on March 5, 2003.Hey Nevada! Does Harry Reid represent yourviews???

PROPERTY RIGHTS AND RELIGION:

“I was raised Episcopalian, and I ended up asa Congregationalist. I had a big fight with alocal Episcopal church over a bike path. Wewere trying to get the bike path built. They hadcontrol of a mile and a half of railroad bed, anddecided they would pursue a property rightssuit to refuse to allow the bike path to bedeveloped.”

- Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean,quoted in the Washington Post newspaper,September 21, 2003.

THE TERRIFIC TWENTY SEVEN

Congressmen Wally Herger (R-CA) and StevePearce (R-NM) teamed up last year to lead thecharge for private property rights at a criticalmoment. The Nature Conservancy and otherpowerful Land Trusts attempted to grab abillion dollar tax cut deal for themselves late in2003. This would have placed them at a hugeadvantage over private property owners inbuying and selling real estate - see excerpts ofletter below, sent to Ways and Means CommitteeChairman Rep. Bill Thomas, for details.

Herger, a senior member of the Ways andMeans Committee, which has jurisdiction overtax policy, joined with freshman Pearce androunded up twenty five other members to sign

the following letter. The special Land Trustprovision was stripped out of the bill in theHouse, but is still alive in the Senate as ofFebruary 2004.

November 7, 2003

Dear Chairman Thomas,

We very strongly oppose language included inS. 476, the Charitable Giving Act of 2003,which gives an unfair advantage to conservationgroups over other non-profit groups and theprivate sector. It provides an alarming incentiveto remove private lands and water rights fromindividuals and potentially place them intofederal ownership. This is in directcontravention of some of our most closely heldprinciples committed to private property rights,free enterprise and smaller government.

The Senate proposal would provide a capitalgains tax reduction of 25% to sellers of propertyor water rights — but only if they sell toconservation groups. They may be pushing fora 50% capital gains reduction, which the JointCommittee on Taxation estimates will costabout a billion dollars over ten years.

We believe the Charitable Giving Act is intendedto encourage and benefit faith-basedinstitutions in their efforts to extend socialservices to the general public. Yet incredibly,this proposal would place those very faith-based institutions, such as churches,orphanages and private schools, at acomparative disadvantage in propertypurchases compared to some conservationgroups and government agencies, which donot perform charitable acts.

The provisions in the Senate bill will do virtuallynothing to benefit sellers of land, since thebeneficiaries of this tax break will be able toreduce their offering price versus any other

4 League of Private Property VotersFebruary 2004

potential buyer. Any tax break will result in areduced sale price. Even worse, this proposalwill likely discourage purchase offers fromparties who do not receive this tax break, sinceall others will have to offer a premium price justto stay even.

Tax exempt “non-profits” already havesignificant advantages over private parties inthe tax code. Some have grown into multi-billion dollar multinational corporations witheconomic power greater than nearly anyindividual or organization who may also wantto purchase the same property. Our concernsabout the impacts of this conservation taxcredit are so strong and relate so fundamentallyto the principles we stand for that we wouldhave to reconsider our support for the bill if thisunnecessary, expensive and damaging proposalis included in the Conference Report.

THE FABULOUS FORTY

Congressmen Richard Pombo (R-CA) andCharles Stenholm (D-TX) joined forces to senda letter with thirty nine others (excerpts below)to White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card.Pombo is Chairman of the ResourcesCommittee and Stenholm is the top rankingDemocrat on the Agriculture Committee. Theletter supports reasonable wetlands regulationsand enforcement of the landmark SupremeCourt decision, Solid Waste Agency of NorthernCook County (SWANCC) v. United States ArmyCorps of Engineers - the SWANCC decision.

April 16, 2003

Dear Mr. Card,

On January 9, 2001 the U. S. Supreme CourtSWANCC decision overturned the decisions oflower courts that have tried to expand federaljurisdiction under the Clean Water Act beyond“navigable waters” to include isolated wetlandsthat do not even have a surface connection to“navigable waters.” Furthermore, the Courtstated Congress chose to preserve the primaryrole of the states in planning the developmentand use of land and water resources becauseto do so would impinge on traditional authoritiesof the states.

To allow regulators and private landowners tounderstand the scope of Clean Water Actjurisdiction, it is imperative that rulemakingclearly and concisely define specific termssuch as “isolated,” “tributary,” “adjacent,”“impoundment” and “ordinary high water

5League of Private Property Voters February 2004

mark.” Since these terms presently are eithervague or undefined, regulators in the fieldhave vast discretion to define them in anarbitrary and inconsistent manner. This allowsregulators to continue asserting federaljurisdiction over otherwise isolated waters suchas vernal pools and other features such aserosion ruts and roadside ditches.

These regulations are especially onerous tosmall landowners who do not have the timeand money to challenge the sometimes heavy-handedness of federal wetlands regulators.The 404 wetlands permit process is very timeconsuming and expensive. Obtaining anindividual permit takes on average 788 days ata cost of $271,000.

It is vital that the Administration move quicklywith rules that clearly explain the scope offederal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.

Sincerely,

Rep. Todd Akin, MissouriRep. Richard Baker, LouisianaRep. Gresham Barrett, South CarolinaRep. Marion Berry, ArkansasRep. Rob Bishop, UtahRep. Allen Boyd, FloridaRep. Sanford Bishop, GeorgiaRep.

SIX SPECIAL SENATORS

Six Senators deserve special recognition fortheir efforts to protect private property rightsagainst a legilative attack from the LandGrabbing Land Trusts. Senators Don Nickles(R-OK), Mike Crapo and Larry Craig (bothR-ID), and Mike Enzi and Craig Thomas (bothR-WY) led the charge to strip out of S.476 (Vote#3 on the Senate Scorecard) a billion dollar taxbreak for gigantic multinational Land Trustssuch as The Nature Conservancy. Senator TimJohnson of South Dakota was the loneDemocrat to support private property rights onthis vote.
