Today its water, tomorrow its food.
Well, the congresscritters have declared war upon us.

This is what we get for accepting federal bureaucratic autonomy over local resources. Bureaucrats in Washington could care less if a little non-native fish swims in our river or not. What matters to them is whatever power they can exert over us to limit our ability to be self-sufficient. They will never waste an emergency and where none exists, they will create one. If the end result is diminishing our wealth, reducing our ability to fill our own energy and food needs, or restricting our freedom, they are for it. When they attack the Central Valley of California, they are attacking the food basket of America and redistributing wealth to places like Mexico, Argentina and Chile.
When Californians wake up (and they’ll be the last state to do so) they will throw off the tyrants... but don’t hold your breath.
Water is not a right you know.
Our President said that. :)
Vital natural resources used as weapons, as bargaining chips. Insidious but highly effective.
High crimes and misdemeanors.
It’ll quietly happen...bet on it; just as soon as attention is diverted elsewhere.
When was the last time you saw crooked politicians frog-marched anywhere?
Actually, in this case it IS food. This is a heavily agricultural area, and no water = no food grown.
If they had any spine, they would show up on the floor and vote NO. This story is getting lots of play now and should they turn their water back off after they vote no...EVERYONE WILL BE READY TO IMPEACH AND STORM DC!!
We should write them and encourage them to surprise Piglosi with a big ole NO vote on Sunday...lol. That would teach the communist thugs a lesson they would never forget!
“Politics: The water spigots are back on, at least temporarily, in California’s Central Valley. Turned off to protect a tiny fish, they happen to be in the districts of two congressmen “undecided” on health care reform”
When the 10th amendment was shot down, and we started letting the Feds take over every aspect of our lives and states, THIS is the result.
