America could be 100% self sustaining if we weren’t afraid of hurting the planet, which is of course a load of bull as the nations we trade with do more to harm the environment to meet our demands.

It was not until a few farmers and their allies took control of the headgates and turned the water back on that things began to happen. In that case, only a dozen farmers and their allies were at the gates the next morning when 50-70 armed law enforcement officers came and took the head gates back and again turned off the water.

I remember this story well. The sheriff showed up and read the farmers a writ that said "In the name of the people of...", and the farmers replied 'We *are* the people.'

Sieze control of the valves, and blockade all access to the site. Riot when the law clamps down. Poison the damn fish if you have to.

Same thought came to my mind - there are thousands of people directly affected by this. Do some disobedience and turn those valves on. I doubt the governator would send the National Guard to stop them (heck the Guard would probably help).

I so agree. The Valley is the breadbasket of the world. Turn the water back on.

So what was that fisheries guy trying to say about the farmers selling their water to other areas?

Bingo! Grab your torches and pitchforks. March en masse to the pump house. And turn that water on. Period. You've put up with more than you should have to.

They need numbers of people behind them. The state of California should say to heck with the Feds.
Arnold could stay in office for the next 60 years if he went down and personally opened the water gates.

I agree, too. Cut that chain and turn that valve. Perhaps that’s where the next march should be.

I am so sick of hearing Gov. Schwarzenegger claim “If I could I would turn the water back on...”

It's really simple, dispatch the National Guard to the valves, turn the water back on, and keep them their until the feds give up.

Pelosi wants this law, let her enforce it!

My thoughts on the water shortage, is that southern California has the responsibility to become more self-reliant. Placing a few nuclear reactors on So-Cal beaches or close by, would provide power for now and the future, and a by-product of millions of gallons of desalinated water.

It angers me that our city planners don’t do any forward thinking whatsoever these days.

Well said!

If the farmers and people supporting them don’t take action the enviro-nazis and the judges in their pockets will win this war as they are with other enviro issues.

I think the water in the delta is controled by the state water agency.

The water that was shut off not only feeds the farmers but the domestic water supply for all of Southern California.

It’s a hugh pumping system that feeds a canal as big as most rivers.

I doub tthat anyone in a state agency would have the balls to turn on the system against a federal judges order.

Jeff, Thanks for the article and ping. I drove past this area two weeks ago and was shocked to see what is normally a lush green landscape this time of year...brown with small patches of green...dry dirt brown. There were groves of trees parched and dead or dying...hundreds of acres...many hours of driving. Words don’t adequately describe.

Does remind me of Klamath Falls all over again.

I agree with you 1000%

Massive resistence. Law enforcement doesn’t have the personnel or the funding to deny everybody in the country water for the food we eat, and the San Joaquin Valley supplies a large portion of it.

Not only farmers should be involved. Everyone who buys agricultural products should be there in force.

Whoever controls the water, controls the food. Hope and change isn’t going to fill your belly.

Was it my imagination, or did the crowd boo every time the RAT congresscritter tried to speak?

This is just like the 2001 water crisis. The government taking water that doesn’t belong to them.

Thanks for the thread, Jeff.
