An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Oppose Government Ownership of Intel Stock & Investigate Export Controls

61 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

The government's potential acquisition of stock in Intel represents a dangerous step towards government control of private industry, which goes against the principles of our free market economy. The very definition of socialism involves government ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange. There is no current emergency or pressing national interest that justifies such an extreme measure. I urge you and your colleagues in Congress to speak out forcefully against this proposed government intervention in the private sector. It sets a troubling precedent that could lead to further erosion of our capitalist system. We must maintain a clear separation between government and private enterprise to ensure economic freedom and innovation. Furthermore, I have serious questions about the legality and wisdom of export controls that may be associated with this move. Export controls can have far-reaching consequences for our economy and international trade relationships. I request that Congress launch a thorough investigation into the legality and potential impacts of any export controls being considered or implemented in conjunction with this Intel stock acquisition. I expect you to be a vocal defender of free market principles and to resist any attempts at government overreach into the private sector. Please take immediate action to oppose this potential stock acquisition, investigate the legality of related export controls, and work to protect our economic system from unwarranted government interference. I look forward to hearing about the specific steps you will take to address these concerns and protect our economic freedoms.
