[Got a right to Life? . . Huh?]

The farmers need to know now whether they will receive their water next spring in order to qualify for lending to plant next years crops. It seems that our worst fears will be reality in the spring. Many farmers will loose another years production as people get sucked into the trap of focus grouping this issue to death while the feds smuggly sit back and watch as the rural cleansing continues on its' intended course. I am angry, as everyone should be, about the fact that the feds can effectively disregard the constitution when ever they have an agenda that can not be accomplished inside the constituion.

I agree with Jeff Head about the need to stand firm on this issue and won't be surprised when the head gates are the center of more controvercy early next year.

The first item that they spent money on was a new fence at the head gates. I know this because I drive by it on a regular basis.

Hope the farmers don't get suckered into negotiating with this group.

They are studying and politicking farmers out of the basin. Going to their website gave me a headache. And now the greenies in and out of government(ALC,USFWS, Etc)are enlarging wetland projects above the lake to hold more winter runoff. American Land Conservancy has 23,000 acres at Sycan Marsh alone, plus many more.Feds have tens of thousands of acres.THese enlarged projects are soaking huge amounts that isn,t getting to lake.If they have their way it will take all winter to fill lake and they go to court and say not enough for farms.There is above average snow and prec. now and they sucking it up. These study groups by promoting the stakeholder idea are helping the greens with this whole scam;Giving them cover for the water grab.Ed Hubel
