One of the strongest voices in the conservative movement, and has been
for years, is Phyllis Schlafly. I am always excited to receive her
newsletter. One of the most interesting article I received was on
9/6/06 titled "Is America For Sale?", the shocking answer that comes
from this article is Yes, Yes out country is for sale. Phyllis points
out the federal agency CFIUS Committee on Foreign Investments in the US
has been seceretly allowing many of our countries infrastructure sold
to the highest bidder. "
The scholar Frank
Gaffney discovered that "out of more than 1,500 cases of foreign
acquisitions reviewed since 1988, CFIUS has only formally rejected one."
Homeland Security admits that 80 percent of our 3,200 terminals nationwide are
operated by foreign companies and countries.
In June, a Spanish firm paid $1.3 billion for a 50-year lease to operate a
10-lane toll road through the heart of Texas. The same month, an Australian
company bought a 99-year lease on Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway.
Also in June, an Australian-Spanish partnership paid $3.8 billion to lease
the Indiana Toll Road for 75 years. Last year, Chicago sold a 99-year lease on
the eight-mile Chicago Skyway to the same buyer for $1.8 billion, and the tolls
are expected to double."
We
need to find out more about this body and their actions. We must hold
them accountable for their decisions and be aware of where this road
may lead. Please support Phyllis Schlafly and her eagleforum.org
Also another great resource on eagle forum is eagle forum university I would also suggest taking a look at this information.
