We Must Stop Unconstitutional Land Grabs
The Constitution makes clear...
... that the federal government may purchase and control land only for purposes of defense or purposes of creating a federal city. Even in those cases it can do so only
with the consent of legislatures of the States involved. This policy has been
continually violated and it was violated again this week when the Republican
Congress went along with President Clinton in a decision to have the federal
government purchase or confiscate additional large swaths of land. This has
to end. The land has to be returned to the States.
In addition, we need to secure energy
independence by closing down the Environmental Protection Agency and permitting
refineries to be built again in this country. We need to open up our natural
resources off the coast of our country as well as in the interior. In doing
so, we will have enough energy to fuel our country for the next 100 years and
with the proceeds from those auctions we will have enough money to pay off the
national debt and honor commitments to people now under the Social Security
System.
