Now that soldiers will once again be shedding their blood to protect our land, not Washington politicians, its time they remember whos land they will be fighting to protect: "of the people, by the people, for the people". I think the feds owning 50% of our land is pure socialism. Time they surrender some of it back to ALL of us.

Thanks for the ping and this post!

This article just shows how great these Farmers really are. Their concern for the waterfowl and wildlife is sincere unlike the phoney concern of Hemp Pushers like Kerr and the other Green Enviral Nazis who pushed the Rural cleansing of these great Americans, the farmers of the Klamath Basin!

I hope that some very successful civil damage suits are filed against the enviral elites who set up this fiasco. Then criminal charges against any fed caught as a principle in the bad science and lies used as a rural cleansing tool!

"Sierra Club, Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Association, and other groups overstated the risk of low water to federally listed coho salmon and suckerfish."

Would you find out for me if one of the "other groups" was "Friends(Fiends) of the River" who are really "Friends of the commercial whitewater rafting companies!" I'm pretty certain they are among the listed litigants, or at a minimum, filed amicus breifs in support of this abuse of law!

Their REAL concern is keeping their butts up offa da rocks on Labor Day!!!

Here's hoping their butts find the biggest rock in the river!

Far too sad: in the wake of 7000 dead at a stroke, farmers give up life-giving water to not bother the federal agents - instead of the federal agents deciding that the well-being of citizens is more important than some fish.

Go open the gates. In the wake of WTC, which is more important: citizens or fish?

I've been thinking about the K-falls situation, even while the tradgedy in NY is still sinking in. And I'm intending to write a letter to our President this weekend to gently and politely remind him of the dire situation of the farmers and ranchers in K-falls.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't NOW the time of the year the farmers are arranging loans for the coming crop season? And isn't the unsettled irrigation question going to prevent a lot of farmers from getting the loans they need to buy seed and equipment and fertilizer, etc.?

I am hoping George W. Bush will take a moment to tell his department heads to give the farmers of the Klamath Basin the irrigation water they need and deserve for the coming year. All it would take would be a word from him and there wouldn't be any more of this small-town vs. big government shoving match.
