King County Chapter

The founders of America and the State of Washington understood that without an individual right to own and control property, no other rights can be protected from government tyranny. Homes, personal possessions, personal safety, unrestricted travel and free speech are all placed in jeopardy once government has established the power to control or confiscate private property through general edict.

Property rights are really human rights and the very foundation of a free society. That is why the founders included the Fifth Amendment in the federal constitution and Article 1, Section 16 the Washington State constitution. Secure property rights have been a major cornerstone of the American experiment that has resulted in the highest standard of living and the most personal freedom of any people in the history of the world. Therefore our MISSION is to protect property rights by: Establishing a single coordinated voice dedicated to preserving and protecting property rights. Electing legislators pledged to protect, not destroy, property rights and electing judges pledged to uphold our constitutionally guaranteed right to own and control property. Promoting legislation to preserve and protect property rights while opposing excessively burdensome legislation. Reducing regulatory cost of living in Washington State.
