Dear Friends,
Earlier today, Secretary Ken Salazar held a public meeting in Washington DC to discuss California’s water crisis.
During the meeting, I was surprised to once again here Secretary Salazar reject the notion that we are experiencing a government-imposed drought (listen here). In my view, and in the considered opinion of those who are directly impacted by water shortages today, there is no question as to why San Joaquin Valley communities are suffering. That reason is a flawed system of regulation related to the Endangered Species Act and, more specifically, unjust priorities that have made a three inch minnow more important than human beings.
While long-term solutions are needed and I am not opposed to studies that would help achieve them, the people of the San Joaquin Valley are suffering and they need help now. For this reason, I have fought to gain support for Congress to temporarily grant California the same legislative relief New Mexico received in 2003 – namely, the short-term restoration of normal pumping operations from the Delta.

Sincerely,
Devin Nunes

Congressman Nunes has thrown down the gauntlet. Now, Patriots, lets run with it! We need to inundate Secretary Salazar, Sen. Feinstein, Sen. "Ma'am" Boxer, our Congressmen, and especially President Obama with phone calls, faxes, emails and letters demanding a true answer to the Central Valley Water Crisis: More storage (Dams), the Peripheral Canal, Two-Gates project, and adequate sewage treatment facilities for Delta municipalities.
Please do yourself the favor of listening to the audio files linked in Rep. Nunes letter.
