Sincerely,Samantha Renick, ONE member, Virginia

Debbie VenaDear Representatives,It is highly unethical for us to allow exportation of business practices we do not allow here, politically in the USA. Especially, when tax payers are subsidizing these industries. The corruption has interfered with the development of clean energy alternatives, and worse, we have abused our military personnel by focusing them on representing private enterprise and for profit companies. This MUST stop, if we are to remain a nation with the utmost respect for freedom and liberty as an American nation. We have turned our country into nothing but hypocrites, exporting crime, corruption and avarice under the guise of pretending to be the world leader and in this we have disrespected every single Veteran whom has died to defend our borders.Godspeed,Deborah Vena
