The eminent-domain activist who received national attention by attempting to have the home of a Supreme Court justice seized is starting an effort to help any American whose property is about to be taken against their will by a government entity.

Logan Darrow Clements of Freestar Media has launched "Project Frontline," a campaign to surround pieces of property set for government-enforced seizure with protesters, hoping it will attract media attention and stall the eviction of the affected property owners.

"Remember Elian Gonzalez?" Clements asks on his site. "By surrounding his home supporters kept the media tuned to his story and made all Americans aware of his plight.

"In the same spirit Freestar is creating a calendar of the eviction dates of victims of eminent domain abuse (EDA). This calendar will allow opponents of EDA to surround the homes and businesses of victims on eviction day and call attention to their story."
Clements then hopes supporters will "walk, drive or fly" to the locations of the property seizures – "to whomever's home or business is next in the path of government bulldozers."
The activist also says he is considering having bands play at the "victim's home" to attract attention.

"Together we can fight out-of-control government," states Clements. "But we must unify and focus our effort on the frontline in order to call attention to the tremendous injustice of eminent domain abuse."

Clements led a failed effort to have the city government of Weare, N.H., condemn the home of Justice David Souter so developers could build the "Lost Liberty Hotel," which would have catered to tourists and drawn attention to eminent domain abuse. Souter was one of the justices who voted last year to allow the city of New London, Conn., to seize several homes and turn them over to a developer.
