Obama Land Grab: Wants Feds to Steal 10 Million Acres

Obama wants to control all the energy in this country by forced seizure of lands. From Sen. Jim DeMint's editorial in the Washington Times:

A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job- creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development. Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers.

President Obama could enact the plans in this memo with just the stroke of a pen, without any input from the communities affected by it.


Many have been complaining about Venezuela's Chavez' recent nationalizations, but frankly, there is no difference between Obama and Chanvez.
