'''Chuck Cushman''' is a nationwide advocate in the property rights movement. He founded the predecessor organization to the [[American Land Rights Association]] (ALRA) in 1977 among private property owners in Yosemite National Park in Central California. ALRA was established after winning a five year battle with the National Park Service, which had attempted to involuntarily seize residents' property and pay them pennies for each dollar of land value in the small town of Wawona.
Over the past 30 years, Cushman has battled federal regulators from coast to coast and in Congress.
