I vehemently 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.
Just this evening, I have contacted over 100 close friends and
relatives about this egregious infringement of our natural and god
given rights.

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,
agricultural assets, marine assets, forests, etc.

I urge the Commission to reject it outright immediately. This is the
stuff of socialist and communist governments, not of a free and
democratic republic.
