Is Obama Targeting LDS Canneries?

[ABX]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon) has a network of food canning and distribution centers around the nation, where volunteer church members donate time to can food grown on the church’s farms and orchards or purchased from other sources. The purpose of this network of canneries is to provide food to those who have been caught in disasters or just caught short by an ever-declining national economy. Millions of pounds of food are prepared for distribution annually in the LDS canneries.

The government hates competition with it, especially competition that is more efficient.

My Dad was raised Mormon in Wyoming, but left that church to marry my Mother.

He never talked about Mormon theology, but did point out their "good works."

These "stores" are one source of their self-sufficiency, and ability to provide charity.

This regime is going after anything and everything that works against total reliance on fedgov.
