Obama Goes After Property Rights

Property Rights at Risk with Executive Order 13575

On June 9, 2011, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13575 “…to enhance Federal engagement with rural communities…” In other words, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

Sixteen percent of the American people live in our rural counties that supply food, fiber, and energy for our country and provides exports for the rest of the world. As this Executive Order affirms, these communities “face numerous challenges but have enormous economic potential.” However, the people in our rural communities, gifted with more common sense than those in Washington, have always managed their land and resources well, now suddenly, D.C. has decided they know how to do things better.
