Dale, I think it’s time the power utilities use some of their millions and beat these idiots to a pulp in court. We need power. We need water.

The left can go —— themselves.

Is it possible, that applying the same type of pressure that was used for the Acorn and Van Jones issues would work?
(calling congressmen, twittering, emails, Fox News coverage- and fringe media maybe - I bet Lou Dobbs would cover it.)

One of the things that was very impressive about exposing Acorn was the website created - big government. There must have been an effort by bloggers out there to write on their blogs about it too.

Maybe those other groups that were involved in the DC march like Freedom Works, etc, could be contacted to join in the effort.

“sounds nice, but we are talking about KALIFORNEEYA!!”

You do realize it's the Feds imposing this idiocy on the good people of California against strong resistance??

They did boo everytime the RAT spoke. I thought the guy in the middle was having a hard time to keep from bursting out laughing.

My question during Hannity’s program was this:

Why don’t the farmers drill their own wells?

In Nebraska we had a well as well as irrigation ditches. (A long time ago when I was a little one!)

They figure they can make it happen bigger here...but it is the same principle almost to the tee.

We need to get the word to these farmers and then be prepared to support them just like folks supported us at Klamath. I'm up for a trip in that event.

These farmers boo’d the Dem everytime he tried to speak and were for the two GOP Congressmen. They didn’t even boo Arnold. Salazar sent Arnold a very nasty letter after he got him to visit the area. Interior Secretary Salazar is an arrogant piece of crap after what I just heard tonight which figures working for ZERO.

This isn’t something that you can just “turn on.”

What we’re talking about is the largest pumping plant in the world; the Harvey Banks Pumping Plant. It lifts water using pumps that have intake pipes 15 feet in diameter, 200 feet in elevation to a canal that is wider than 90% of the interstate freeways in this country. It’s called the California Aqueduct.

I saw Hannity ,,,

FWIW : All the water belongs to the STATE!!! > . < !!!

If the Goobernator had Nads he would call out the

State Guard and cut the locks off those valves himself,,,

Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution :

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Skrooo the Greenies/Feds!!!

How is it that these environmentalists do this only under democrat presidents?

Farmers dealt with this at Klamath Falls during the Clinton years.

Did the farmers ever overcome that decision?

Thanks! I thought that was what they were talking about but wasn’t sure.

A farmer is taking the Feds to Court with a hearing the first week in October.

The major media wouldn’t report it, and 70% of US citizens wouldn’t hear about it. The 30% that would hear about it are already on the side of the farmers.

Nearly a million people marched on DC last weekend, and the major networks and print media didn’t report it.

Read #54 before you talk about turning on pumps and see what they are talking about — heard of the California Aqueduct?

The aqueduct is not dry. There are irrigation pumping stations and then gates for the irrigation along the aqueduct.
