No U.S. Supreme Court decision in the modern era has been so quickly and widely reviled as the infamous Kelo v. New London decision, in which the Court ruled that Susette Kelo's little pink house in New London, Connecticut, and the homes of her neighbors could be taken by the government and given over to a private developer based on the mere prospect that the new use for her property could generate more taxes or jobs.

Now, three years after that decision, Jeff Benedict provides a riveting behind-the-scenes look at the fight in the book Little Pink House: A True Story of Courage and Defiance. We hope you can join us for what promises to be an inspiring discussion of the past, present, and future of property rights in America.

This event is free of charge and open to the public. RSVP by Monday, April 13, online at https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/events/eventregistration.aspx?id=179, or by contacting Jenn Bryson at jbryson@goldwaterinstitute.org or (602) 462-5000 ext. 229.
