Natural resources are a creation of God and owned by no one, or should not be owned by anyone. Resources which are part of the state are supported by citizens of that state and should continue to operate in that fashion. So much of our country is being sold out to other countries—it is abhorrent to think that our natural resources could be bought by the highest bidder. This is just another ploy to weaken our sovereign nation and anyone voting for such a decision clearly is an enemy of the state.
