Land rights

The people of Sapelo have a difficult situation which seems to have grown far past a workable level.  If they are to secure an upper hand in this fight, they may need to enlist some professional help.  I came across a website for a large, organized group called the ALRA.  They claim to have 90% success rate for winning legal arguments for private land owners who are facing just this sort of problem.  I am wondering if maybe the people of Sapelo, since they would like to retain their land rights, have contacted this organization.  Is it just too late to win? I mean I guess it is possible that the residents were so used to being treated with disrespect and they are so uneducated in general that the slow overtaking included a lot of paper signing that they were tricked into and that sort of thing. 

In regard to my own family and ancestral land, yes there is some, it is not in America.  It is in Jamaica,WI and I have no clear details about the legalities of land ownership except to say that it is still owned and operated by my family. I do not expect to ever own this land, but I know I could visit at any time.  My father's uncle owned a very large dairy farm until he died and it continues to be operated by his children and nephews.  Another of my father's uncles owns several vacation resorts. It's my understanding that he has a very lucrative business which is dependent on Jamaica's tourism.  I would be upset to hear that the government was trying to force them to relocate, causing displacement issues and financial stress.     

I hope to own my own home on a small plot of land in the relatively near future, and I would like to make sound decisions when it comes to choosing politicians to elect that will help to enforce laws that protect the rights of property owners with families, while still acknowledging the need to preserve our natural resources.  This may mean that developers need to be kept out of areas like Sapelo in an effort to preserve the delicate ecosystem that we all rely upon to sustain healthy life.
