Duncan Hunter is introducing a bill that would ban all foreign
companies from owning any of our critical infrastructure.
Read the article below.
There is not much more I can say other than making this article available to you. I think this is terribly important that foreign
companies do not own the critical resources in our country.
Now let me make clear that I don't like Duncan Hunter but on this issue I am with him 110% as long as this is all he is after. Unfortunately he is a powerful Representative and I hope in this case he uses that power to the good of our nation and all it's people.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee said on Thursday he would introduce legislation requiring foreign companies to divest any holdings of U.S. infrastructure critical to national security.
Duncan Hunter, a California Republican, also vowed to "kill" with legislation a pending deal to allow a state-owned Arab company to manage terminals in major U.S. ports.
He said infrastructure such as ports, electric grids and power plants should not be owned by foreign firms. Under his legislation, "Any foreign companies that own critical infrastructure would be required to divest so it's owned by Americans," Hunter told reporters.
