“and the U.S. Forest Service refused to let the city use heavy machinery in some areas, citing the Wilderness Act. Tombstone filed a lawsuit to prevent the Forest Service from interfering with its ability to adequately access the water, but a federal judge recently ruled against the city. “

Another pre packaged campaign theme all ready to go. If Mittens and the RNC are smart enough to use it.

I just quiver at how exciting it would be to run the R campaign this year with all the opportunity that exists; and with issues like this we could use.
I just question if we have people smart enough to do basic things.

Sounds a lot like the type of thing the Forest Service did in Jarbidge, NV back in the year 2000. Same MO.

Oh, c’mon now! Has it been that long?
Hmmm...maybe it has, after all...

“... when hopefully the monsoons will start, ...if we do get some rain up there, all of that dirt up there will be a whole lot easier to move,” he [McLeod] added.”

First, they are trying to make repairs BEFORE the coming rains, so the system isn’t damaged it MORE.

Second, when is water-saturated mud easier to work with than dirt?

My brain has the voice of the chief of police from that old McLeod TV show, when McLeod (Dennis Weaver) would come up with some crazy idea and walk out, with the chief yelling “McLeod!”

Yes, it has been that long...July, 2000..Jarbidge. We’ve lost half of that group...Redrock, Larry Toelle, Gulf of Tonkin, nunya bidness...just to name a few.

I just finished a definitive Klamath River backgrounder:
http://users.sisqtel.net/armstrng/IRWM%20siskiyou%20part1.htm

I am trying to put some of my 20+ years of experience on the Klamath issues into a white paper to pass on when I retire. (2 1/2 years.)

As you can see, this is an all out assault on natural resources, with battle, after battle. It never lets up. It is appalling that our government allows/encourages this to go on. No one who reads this can doubt that the desired outcome is to strip our farmers of their water rights and shut them down entirely.

Yes, Ma’am. Thanks for all you do, Marsh. Sadly, like most issues, this one will have to ‘bite’ a lot more people before they ‘get it’. Not sexy enough to catch on. I used to tell Redrock we needed to strip him, put a bone in his nose, pierce his nipples and put him in a cage with a sign GAY CAVEMAN and then maybe we’d draw some attention to the landrights/water issue.

As my Daddy used to say...You either own the land or you’re a slave. Back on the plantation/reservation with ya!!!

Have you heard what the grand design of Agenda 21 is? There is always a method to their madness.
