Clearly, it was jolting news the New Mexico Legislature's Water and Natural Resources Committee wasn't prepared for. During Monday's committee meeting, in the Barbara Hubbard Room at the Pan American Center Annex, lawyers representing the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer, Elephant Butte Irrigation District, and the city of Las Cruces, told the committee that a state Water Court hearing will be at 9 a.m. Wednesday, at the Third Judicial Court Complex, 201 E. Picacho Ave., and the future management of state's water supply could hang in the balance of the hearing's outcome.
"Why hasn't this been front-page news?" asked a surprised Clinton D. Harden Jr., a state senator from Clovis. "This is one of the biggest things ever. Frankly, what we're looking at is under the camel's nose. This is an unprecedented legal claim to water."

This is one of the methods the Agenda 21 maniacs will use to force people off the land. They work in secret, under the radar, and hope the frog doesn’t notice it’s being boiled before it’s too late.
Why don’t the governors for these states group up and tell this bozo Resident to go to hell?
If they meet one of his ombudsment at a meeting, they should walk around behind them and pull the back of their shorts up to the ceiling, and then drop kick them out of the state.
This guy wields power like he thinks he’s Allah or something.
No, he’s barely more than Sweet Pea.
Meet Obama the Dick tator.
Good one. Thanks.
Anyone comes on our place looking to seize our water and they’ll find out what lead poisoning is like.
This has been going on since well before any of us ever heard of Obama.
Just today my “republican” governor announced that he was spending $38 million on various “wildlands” projects in my area of Michigan including buying a 2000 acre tract a few miles from me and a skate park in Ann Arbor.
Wildlands projects? I remember Michigan having thousands of acres of wild lands.
I have posted for years at FR the fact the Democrat Party is a criminal organization. This article, as well the earlier one at:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2913357/posts
IMO prove my point.
Obama, the Democrats, everything they have instilled in our government over many decades have to be eliminated, and their influence reduced to irrelevance.
When a governor does something similiar to what Michigan’s is doing, it really shouldn’t be that alarming, as he is more accountable to the citizens of your state. You can recall the POS!
What the Federal government is doing, plainly is unconstitutional. The Western governors must get their acts together and run riot over BHO2. They have the power to do that and I would hope they do it soon.
Only four more months to go, folks, until November. Obama knows his time in the White House is drawing to an end and he is going to pull more of this same crap in an effort to push Americans to the breaking point.
You’re providing the matching funds.
East of the Mississippi Michigan is big on the state and federal lands.

For many Leftists, the dream started with John F. Kennedy. If you look at Joe, his dad, you quickly learn that he made his money in contraband liquor during prohibition.
The Kennedy’s were essentially a crime family. Joe was a crusty old bastard that brought home starlets he was dating to have dinner with his kids and his wife.
Joe also spread his money around to buy John the election in ‘60.
I’ve seen your post, and I don’t disagree with you. I could never be a Democrat because after Kennedy/Johnson, things started to go very strange. George McGoven basically kidnapped an already seriously flawed party, and took it down to new depths of depravity, UnAmerican Activities to the max. Kerry was doing his part about then. Clinton and Obama have both done the party one better, leading it to a place that is as vile as anything we have seen around the world over the last 100 years.
I say this, on the offside chance that some folks will wake up to what is going on, before we do see a U. S. Lenin, Stalin, or Hitler. That is exactly where we are headed.
And a bump back.
Does Michigan allow for recall of governors?
What? The Democrat Party has been a traitorous organization for longer than that.
Yeah, the democrats tried to recall him and it was dropped the day after the Wisconsin recall failed.
Thanks, was just about to PING the list. I’ve been busy reporting/posting the results of the gun sales monkey trial in Las Cruces.
Thanks Whenifhow. Zero’s just lost the western US.

In this case in NM, not just Republicans upset. Dem legislators, especially in northern NM, represent Hispanics who have surface water rights for irrigation using centuries old ditches (acequias). This threatens them also:
"This is the first I've heard of this contrived conspiracy," Harden said.
"Many times the federal government has no common sense what so ever," said Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell.
Added Rep. Joseph Cervantes, D-Las Cruces, and committee chair, "I'm really concerned about this lawsuit. This is really a strange, and bad — and bad — circumstance."
I hope the democrats in the State leglsator are paying attention, If new Mexico loses this is an absolute disaster for the entire state on the level of a crisis.
You cannot underscore this point the People of New Mexico cannot survive without water! Water is THE most valuable resource in the State. If Washington is allowed to take control of New Mexico’s water they will control & dehydrate the state.
This fact should be taken as a certainty because New Mexico’s neighbors hold far more sway over the Federal government than does New Mexico. They are simply bigger and more numerous.
State Democrats are going to pay dearly if they can’t convince Obama to back down, and leave the state alone.
For several years now, these thieves have been telling us, through fear-mongering about water shortages, that they’re coming after our water.
This action by Obama is the implementation of the March 16 Executive Order - Resources and Preparedness

Will Drought Cause the Next Blackout?

Power plants most vulnerable to water scarcity.
Who knew? Power plants use 40% of U.S. freshwater supplies. How will they cope with a drier climate? Who will keep the lights on when the water runs out?
Notes: Thermoelectric plants (nuclear, coal and gas) make up roughly 90 percent of the U.S. electricity mix and they use 40 percent of the nation’s freshwater supplies. Climate change will reduce freshwater supplies and threaten power plants that use water for cooling.
Vulnerability of US and European electricity supply to climate change
In the United States and Europe, at present 91% and 78% (ref. 1) of the total electricity is produced by thermoelectric (nuclear and fossil-fuelled) power plants, which directly depend on the availability and temperature of water resources for cooling. During recent warm, dry summers several thermoelectric power plants in Europe and the southeastern United States were forced to reduce production owing to cooling-water scarcity
The drought was declared an “emergency”. Under the Resources and Preparedness Executive Order, Obama can seize resources.

You’re welcome Dave. And thanks for the pings on the gun sales trials :-)
Thanks Whenifhow.
Canada and the Great Lakes states came to an agreement that the feds cannot drain the Great Lakes to send the water somewhere else. Congress approved it. King Barack will ignore it and grab that water, also.
They voted for an African Marxist in New Mexico.
He’d starve us all to death if he could figure out a way. Socialists don’t want people living outside the cities. They are making claims to rain water and they are denying water to localities.
UN Agenda 21. Clinton signed it. The Senate never passed it but failed to overrule Clinton’s signature.
“Added Rep. Joseph Cervantes, D-Las Cruces, and committee chair, “I’m really concerned about this lawsuit. This is really a strange, and bad — and bad — circumstance.”
“This is really a strange, and bad — and bad — circumstance.”
Even the D from Las Cruces nailed it.
It's the same all over the West: If you control the water, you control the land.
It holds true whether the use of that land is ranching, mining, agriculture, or just people living.
It also crosses my mind that New Mexico has an oil and gas industry, too, and this may be a preemptive strike to prevent the sort of hydraulic fracturing essential to development of many resources there as well as elsewhere.
States like North Dakota are geared up to fight any such attempts, but New Mexico not only might not be, it might have enough liberals to sympathize and help set a dangerous precedent for Federal Control which could be applied elsewhere.
2000 acres for "wildlands"? He could just go down Davison Ave and pick up that much real estate for a song...
Water will be the ultimate bargaining chip when things get tough.
Southern California needs a desalination plant, big time!

“Southern California needs a desalination plant, big time!”
Ditto!
I’m glad we still live in a free country...
free, except, of course, for the necessary government controls on our food, water, energy consumption, and healthcare.
> Thanks Whenifhow. Zero’s just lost the western US.
Nope. Only in the rural areas.
The Metro areas are still solidly pro-0bama.
Do you realize that 80% of the American population lives in urban areas?
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_per_liv_in_urb_are-people-percentage-living-urban-areas
I submit that this is by design, and that the goal is to get the urban ratio up to about 95%.
Thanks. I track their activities as best I can. I keep an eye on local “Smart Growth” organizations. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service seems joined at the hip with U.N. Agenda 21 plans. Need development in an area stopped? No problem. The USFWS will find an endangered bug, bird or microbe that will bleed the developer dry with endless litigation.
That really is how it starts isn’t it. The Feds will pick on a state that is either hated or poorly disposed to defend itself then uses its easy victory there to squelch other states out of their rights.
It is a fight for our rights we were as they intended never predisposed to win. Their hand picked court is by design & selection rigged against us. What is remarkable is that we are in fact able to win some of the time. But of course that is never enough over the long run because we only really have to lose once.

Govt Grabbing Water Again: Sues New Mexico for Water Rights
Excerpt:
There is no better way to control “The People” than to control their water.
This is the work of Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. In a letter to them from the Western Governors’ Association:
“…The ramifications of such legal position extend to the very heart of the Western states exclusive ownership and/or management and control of the groundwater resources within their respective boundaries.”
Jay Stein, a lawyer representing the city of Las Cruces, who has filed as an intervener in the case, said the outcome of the hearing could potentially affect the city’s water supply.
“In the pending water rights adjudication in state district court, here in Las Cruces, the court has turned to the United States’ claims. Foremost among these is the issue of the United States’ claims to “groundwater’ or to “project water in the ground,’ as they have termed it.
These claims are not supported by any actual beneficial use of groundwater. Nor are they supported by state law which governs proceedings in the adjudication.
“These water claims are unqualified but potentially could amount to hundreds of thousands of acre-feet per year.”
