President Obama signed an Executive Order on Friday that gives the government a disturbingly wide range of powers, including the ability to acquire property, food, water, transportation, and other resources with preference in the name of 'national security'.

I'm all for national defense, but his level of control over national resources in a time of peace is unprecedented.

We need the administration to explain itself. Please sign the petition I created on the White House petition service 'We the People' here: http://wh.gov/R3C

I urge you to also take a minute to read the White House press release of the executive order itself, which you can find here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness

We have one month to get just 25,000 signatures...let's do it!
