  What Freedom Means
  
  So many of PLF's cases are about trying to free Americans from onerous, unreasonable, and intrusive government control of even the most basic things. In this contest, we ask you to send us a line, preferably with a link, about a government regulation at the local, state, or federal level that goes too far or is enforced in an unreasonable or nonsensical way.

  Property Rights Vindicated After 48 Years
  
  PLF's amicus brief to the New Jersey Supreme Court argued that Edward and Nancy Klumpp should not be denied the right to seek just compensation for the taking of their property. The Court agreed with us, and held that, it is only fair to allow the Klumpps to seek compensation for the taking of their property now that it is clear that the property was, in fact, taken.
