Stolen Water Used by Obama to Buy Votes to Steal Your Health Care
California Political News ^ | March 19, 2010 | Staff

Posted on 03/19/2010 3:04:54 PM PDT by raptor22

Politics: The water spigots are back on, at least temporarily, in California's Central Valley. Turned off to protect a tiny fish, they happen to be in the districts of two congressmen "undecided" on health care reform.

One could chalk it up to good fortune or just good constituent service. But in the middle of a contentious health care debate marked by Cornhusker Kickbacks and Louisiana Purchases, we may be forgiven if we find an announcement by the Department of the Interior regarding California's water supply a tad too coincidental.

On Tuesday, the Department of the Interior announced it was increasing water allocations for the Central Valley of California, a region that depends on these water allocations for local agriculture and jobs. The timing adds to our suspicions.

According to the Interior announcement, "Typically (the Bureau of) Reclamation would release the March allocation update around March 22nd, but moved up the announcement at the urging of Senators (Diane) Feinstein and (Barbara) Boxer, and Congressmen (Jim) Costa and (Dennis) Cardoza."

Blue Dog Democrats Costa, who represents California's 20th Congressional District (Fresno), and Cardoza, who represents the 18th (Stockton to Modesto), are both listed as "undecided" in the upcoming vote on health care reform, whether it be on the Senate bill itself or the "deem and pass" resolution known as the Slaughter rule, after Rules Committee Chairman Louise Slaughter.

I was listening to Beck. This is outragous.

The Central Valley is the Bread Basket of the United States.
You could say the Dems are trying to STARVE the american People.

So this is how our government now works.

President Master-Blaster here is letting water flow to TERRORIZE people into backing his edict.

This, ontop of bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia, should be reason to call not only for his impeachment and ouster - But for his very HIDE.

I think control of the water is one of the reasons they’tre trying to drive us out of Michigan. The clean water restoration act puts virtually every michigan citizen onder the blade.

Code Red is now considering Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa, to now be “yes” votes.

“Typically, Reclamation would release the March allocation update around March 22nd, but moved up the announcement at the urging of Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and Congressmen Costa and Cardoza.”(“Interior Announces Increased Water Supply Allocations in California,” U.S. Department of Interior news release, 3/16/10)

Will Cardoza and Costa come clean about this apparent backroom deal for their votes?

Call Cardoza’s district office at (209) 383-4455 and Costa’s district office at (559) 495-1620 and ask.

On a local radio show in Fresno today, a caller who is a farmer in this SJ valley, stated that a back-room deal was made a while ago over a Harris ranch dinner gathering/meeting. A vote for the HealthCare bill and the feds would deem a bit more water to the westside farmers... just to make it look like these two actually represent their constituents.

Cardoza and Costa are lying straight up. They had their minds made up a long time ago. They aren't fooling anyone.

I might even go further and say they were promised future jobs in the Obama administration because they will be defeated next election. So if you see them pop up somewhere else... remember the wheelin' & dealin' traitors.

We have basketball on our local talk station tonight.

Rally your local talk radio host into doing street protest in front of your reps local offices. Try and get the local media to cover it. Hammer the Medicare/SS issue, nothing like mad grannies and gramps.

This is from a 2007 contact list of congressional aides. Some might not be there any longer, but worth a try. The ones on the one post are senate aides, a few have bounced back, it’s worth the effort to clog up their email system along with the phones, and 1/3rd of these senators are up for re-election.

Mail must be inspected for anthrax.

Contact congressional aides.

Good idea from the bloggers at Hillbuzz:

http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/17/action-items-march-17th-2010/
They offer specifics and links on how to put pressure on Dem DONORS, who have private numbers for legislators who may have taken their phones off the hook.

Congress may not want to hear from us, but they’ll listen to the money men.

KEEP THE CALLS UP! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE

CODE RED Contact list http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/
Remember they are all being offered BRIBES for their votes. Ask them how much their bribe price is.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

This reminds me of the “World out of time” lecture of the 20th century fellow to the “checker”, whose job was to ensure his obedience to the State. The State was a “water empire” - it could turn off air, water and food to any who disagreed, killing rebellion quickly. In a shortage, it could turn off supplies to the less loyal and gain even more loyalty from those who lived. Never thought I’d see it here, though - vote my way, you get water.

Considering that a huge majority of those people voted for Obama, why is it that they are complaining now? How’s that hope and change working to quench your thirst? At least that little fish that the representatives YOU VOTED FOR TO SAVE are happy. People having to live under the government they voted for. What is the the problem?

If the Healthcare Bill passes, every state that vote for Obama should have to live under it and it should be mandatory and the states that voted against Obama (yeah AGAINST Obama because seriously who voted FOR McCain) should be given the option of opting out. People from the blue states should be prohibited from ever residing in a red state until vigorous loyalty and patriot testing is completed.

Thirsty! Thirsty! Hopey Changey! HAHAHAHAHA!
