Petition To Let the Irrigation Water Flow in the Klamath Basin of Oregon

Thank you for that suggestion, 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub!

If you'd like to call the White House and express your support for the Klamath Farmers, here are a few suggestions:

Ask for Karl Rove's office. Then ask for David Thomas in Karl Rove's office. He is personally dealing with the Klamath Basin issue. Thank you for that info, Lazamataz!

UPDATE FROM: AuntB:

I was given this information for David Thomas, the White House WESTERN rep: dthomas@who.eop.gov

cell ph# 1-202-309-1358, Office, 1-202-456-7944

Or you can call Ari Fleisher's office. A photo op of President Bush personally opening the headgates at Klamath would do more to consolidate the conservative base than pictures of T-ball on the White House lawn. Or you can just talk to the person answering the phone. There is also a White House comments line.

Above all, be polite.

You can also call your Senators or Congressman and support the Klamath farmers.
