Ok, I understand the desire to safeguard a select species of fish from people who care less what they dump in the habitat but destroying 12% of United States agriculture and food producing land not to mention putting farms out of business and making the unemployed list that much longer (this, I do not understand at all.) We patrol the southern border from Florida to Baja/California keeping people and drugs out to the best of our ability. Why can we not return water to California farms and have 1/3 the people keeping watch over the fish habitat???? I for one know I was shocked when this was put on the news and everyone *even Gov. Swartzenneger* spoke out but not ONE peep from Washington was heard or seen online or on the news about this situation whether it be good or bad we got nothing from the White House.
There are standard chains with locks on the irrigation stations. Someone is watching those to make sure no one sneaks in and attempts to re-open the gates. Can’t that someone or group of someones, open the water up and use their time keeping an eye on this fish they so care about???
President Obama, I have seen nothing but failure after failure with each passing inititive or stimulus plan. Please just re-open the water to the farms so that I am not as they say ‘getting my food from a crate marked ‘Grown in China’. I believe you can still do plenty of good. Just throw those loudmouths who are saying ‘keep the water locked’ into a conference room and let them yell about it. Here is a CHANCE for you to make a huge difference without spending very much at all.
So, please, turn the water back on for your country.
