I oppose the creation of Natural Asset Companies that will be used to sell off, and sell out, America. I do not want our country’s public lands, waters and even air sold to private interests obliged to preclude the productive use of such resources to the betterment of our society and the strengthening of our economy. I also reject the imposition of unconstitutional restrictions via such means on individual Americans’ property rights and other freedoms. My sentiments are further intensified by the prospect that those private interests may include hostile foreign powers like the Chinese Communist Party, Russia and Iran who may have their own reasons for wanting to lock down our hydrocarbon-based fuels, our minerals, forests, etc. I urge the Commission to extend the time available for comment on proposed Rule SR-NYSE-2023-09 or to reject it outright immediately. MY ANCESTORS DID NOT FIGHT AND DIE IN THE REVOLUNTARY WAR , CIVAL WAR AND WORLD WAR II FOR OUR GOVERNMENT TO SELL OUR LAND TO ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY. OUR FOREFATHERS MUST BE WONDERING WHY IS OUR GOVERNMENT TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY AND EVEN THINKING THAT THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.
