Thank you so much for publishing "Eminent domain's poster children" (HCN, 10/15/07). I hope it serves as a way to inform people about the issue we are facing in southeast Colorado. This proposed land grab stands to ruin not only lives but the beautiful landscape and history of this area. We are working together as a group to get this stopped and hope that by publishing this letter more and more people will get involved. We are fighting for not only our existence but the future of our children wanting to return to the land their family has worked for many years.

Jean Ballard
