The campaign for Proposition 98, which seeks to ban government from taking private property such as homes, businesses, and churches and converting it for other private use, is out with its second radio advertisement this week.

The advertisement, which focuses on a project to seize land and develop property on the Los Angeles community of Baldwin Park, casts the issue in a common man versus the government light.

“It's the city council that's taking our business. They want to get rid of the working-class people for higher income people. You know, it doesn't sound American to me. The Constitution says something about ‘Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.’ How come not us?” Ken Woods, the small business owner of Woods N’ Sons, says in the advertisement.

Proposition 98, which would also eliminate rent control in certain residential areas, is competing on the June 3 ballot with Proposition 99, which also aims to prevent the government from taking private property but offers more loopholes and is less restrictive than Proposition 98.
