CONTACTS

If you'd like to call the White House and express your support for the Klamath Farmers, here are a few suggestions:

Ask for Karl Rove's office. Then ask for David Thomas in Karl Rove's office. He is personally dealing with the Klamath Basin issue. Thank you for that info, Lazamataz!

UPDATE FROM: AuntB:

I was given this information for David Thomas, the White House WESTERN rep: dthomas@who.eop.gov

cell ph# 1-202-309-1358, Office, 1-202-456-7944

Or you can call Ari Fleisher's office. A photo op of President Bush personally opening the headgates at Klamath would do more to consolidate the conservative base than pictures of T-ball on the White House lawn. Or you can just talk to the person answering the phone. There is also a White House comments line.

Above all, be polite.

You can also call your Senators or Congressman and support the Klamath farmers.

BUMP for the farmers !!!!!!!

[MarMema]

Here's a big bump from goat breeding land. There is nothing like a buck in the fall. It was real noisy around here yesterday. Just thought you would all like to know that.

[shotabug]

Good morning, Sunday, bump for the farmers and ranchers!

[JustAmy]

Bump for water for the farmers and ranchers.
Food Grows Where Water Flows!

[JustAmy]

A special bump for the goat breeders. Without ranchers and farmers, we would not be able to feed and clothe our military.
God Bless and Protect our Troops.

[JustAmy]

A good morning bump back atcha. I've been busy with the local 'Support our Troops' rallies. Wish our southern freepers could join us.
Bump for water for our farmers and ranchers. God Bless them and God Bless America!

[JustAmy]

[harpo11]

Happy Sunday Evening Sunset Greetings. Here is a Bump for all of you, Bump for USA Troops, Farmers and Ranchers.

Thank you for keeping the Petition Thread rolling. Sorry to have not been able to help lately.

[harpo11]

USA Troops Are Hungry Like a Wolf
Sign the Petition--Let Water Flow--Klamath Farmers Are Eager to Grow
Let's Roll!

[harpo11]

Sixty Years Ago USA Farmers and Ranchers Rallied When Uncle Sam Called.
They Answered One and All.
Some stayed home working super hard.
Growing Food for Troops and Citizens on the home front.
Keeping America strong.
Giving Scrap.
There was no Time to Sit Down and Rap.
Some went off to battle in foreign lands
fighting against evil and tyranny.
When USA beat the hell out of her enemies, our valient and victorious men came home and took off their GI Boots.
President FDR said boys I've got a deal for you if you want to continue to farm and ranch I'll give you all the Klamath Basin water you need forever.
"Well, Mr. President, Sir, you've got a deal."
And true to his word the farmers and ranchers got their water.
For Sixty years all went well until some enviromentalists got together with their sneaky schemes to save some sucker fish.
These bureaucrats said water will be cut-off, just like that.
No one bothered to give the farmers and ranchers a chance to rap,
about their feelings.
We all know the environmentalists like to talk about feelings.
Fish have feelings. Trees have feelings. Snails, insects, worms.
But, when it comes to hard working, tax paying, law abiding citizen's who just had their livelihood snatched from them,
nope, no way do their feelings come into play.
So that is why I want to urgently expressively say
Sign The Petition! Let's Right the Wrong!
Join in on the fight.
To Give the Farmers and Ranchers Back Their Livelihoods.
Their Water and Property Rights.

God Bless America

[JustAmy]

Happy that you have returned. :^)

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Maybe we should use the BLM folks as scouts for our war against the Taliban.

[shotabug]

Good evening, harpo11. Your wonderful illustrations and messages are a real booster for America, thank you!!!

Bumping to keep the water flowing FREE for the farmers and ranchers!!!!!

[shotabug]

Bumping for the FREE flowing water to the farmers and ranchers!!!

[shotabug]

[JustAmy]

That sounds like a winner. Let's send them before they do any more damage. :^) Bump for water!
God Bless and Protect our Troops.
