     WHEREAS, the United States of America was founded upon an individual's right to own property; and

     WHEREAS, the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees that no person shall be deprived of "life, liberty or property without due process of law", and that "private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation"; and

     WHEREAS, Article I, Section 10 of the Missouri Constitution states that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law"; and

     WHEREAS, Article I, Section 26 of the Missouri Constitution states that "private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation"; and

     WHEREAS, Article I, Section 28 of the Missouri Constitution states that within certain exceptions "private property shall not be taken for private use with or without compensation, unless by consent of owner"; and

     WHEREAS, many citizens of the great State of Missouri were forced to sell their land to the United States government so that the Army Corps of Engineers could manage and channel rivers, create lakes, regulate wetlands and help provide electricity for the citizens of Missouri; and

     WHEREAS, the Army Corps of Engineers mandates that the citizens of the State of Missouri pay "user fees" to enjoy the many parks, lakes and other natural wonders and attractions created from land Missouri citizens were forced to sell;

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Missouri Senate, 88th General Assembly, that although Missouri citizens were compensated for the loss of their properties, the Army Corps of Engineers should reevaluate and ultimately reduce or eliminate these unfair, arbitrary and excessive "user fees" which essentially force citizens of the State of Missouri to pay a fee to enjoy and use their own land; and
