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.

Cardoza’s office in Merced just told me he is still undecided. I told the chick that if the weasel votes yes after allowing his own constituents to be starved of water and their livlihoods....that we were going to ‘make him famous’ as in ‘wanted poster’ famous...LOL!!

“Environmentalism is never about the environment. It is about control and power.”
Exactly. Note how they are giving up a little big of power in exchange for even more power. They are so loathsome it makes me physically sick.
I don’t know, I’m about ready to burst!
Ok the mid west and CV feed the nation. But you have to admit, the loss of either area will drive food prices through the roof.
Good now the people that were driven out (the ones that escaped Sad-Damn murderers) can return home.
Buffet et al have been saying “The End of Cheap Food” for some time. Soros & pals have been playing buy up raw commodities.......
IIRC, The Economist covered the ‘issue.’
Here’s a NatGEO article : “The Global Food Crisis
The End of Plenty”

Billboard on I-70 in Missouri
I would imagine that it's strategically located between Columbia and St. Louis and/or Columbia and Kansas City ?
Hi Folks... how's this for a neat billboard on I-70!!!! Looks like things are heating up across this country.
The 'sleeping giant' has started to awake!! LOOK OUT!!! The party on THE HILL is just about over!!!!!
And once this bill is signed into law, off them spigots will go, I bet! I wouldn’t put anything past the 0b0z0 cabal.
Hold until relieved.

That is what I have been doing..tick tock
One of our friends goes to some of the farmers around Fresno and sells diesel I think. The farmers told him Costa would come and say, “I will get the water turned on.” Then he would go back and side with Pelosi every time and they would not get any water. The night Hannity was there, Costa arrived and the boo’s were loud and clear.
Cardoza is a far left liberal who left the valley the minute he was reelected and never returns constituents phone calls. Both of them will make sure all illegals get amnesty. When Cardoza comes to the valley I read he refuses to meet with anyone in his district. I would love to say these two will be gone next election but liberals rule here.
I read the farmers were given 100% allocation because of the rain. The other thing I read was the water allocation was made previously. Then many have said if it was turned off for the smelt why is it on now?
I am just thrilled farmers can have water again and feed their families. Please don’t let them turn off the spigot again as a political game.
Right! Cardoza never met a socialist bill he did not like.I assure you they lied.
I am thinking the same thing. That one Obama czar said eventually there will be no farming in California. It is a goal of the left.
I’m surprised CA is even still able to produce food the way they’ve restricted water use.
Not to mention blatant violations of the Constitution,
Bribing public officials for the purpose of manipulating the vote.
Repeated, hostile interference in the domestic governance of numerous allied sovereign nations (Honduras and Israel), without a Congressional declaration of war, and in Honduras' case, attempting to overthrow the constitutionally legal and congressionally endorsed temporary president - because Obama wanted the usurper of their constitution instead
Supplying funds to the terrorist organization Hamas wilst fully aware that these funds wil be used to bring death to our allies in Israel,
Taking further steps to increase Israel's vulnerability by cancelling delivery of a critical detterant to Iran's stated goal of destroying Israel....
I could go on all night, but isn't there someone who can handcuff the most dangerous domestic terrorist since Charles Manson & Timothy McVeigh?
When a community stands by and lets the whackos take over this is what happens.
The demise of the GW/CC Fraudsters needs to happen to the lower level whackos that have destroyed communities.
“That one Obama czar said eventually there will be no farming in California. It is a goal of the left.”
The PLAN:
“climate change could make water so scarce by centurys end that theres no more agriculture in California and no way to keep the states cities going, either.” Steven Chu, the physicist and [sic] energy secretary” for Obama.
