Republican Congressmen Blast Administration’s Misleading Announcement on Water Delivery to San Joaquin Valley Farmers

Reprinted from Sen. Nunes Newsletter;


Dear friends,

Today, House Republicans responded to the Obama Administration’s announcement that it would deliver nearly 400,00 acre feet of water to our communities.  The statement we released is included below.

Sincerely,

Republican Congressmen Blast Administration’s Misleading Announcement on Water Delivery to San Joaquin Valley Farmers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Republican Members from California and the House Natural Resources Committee criticized Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar for his misleading announcement yesterday that his Department is taking “additional steps” to provide relief to California’s San Joaquin Valley farmers who are suffering from a man-made regulatory drought.

The Department of the Interior announced that it would “make available” nearly 400,000 acre feet of water from the San Luis Reservoir.  Secretary Salazar failed to explain that this is not “new” water, but actually saved water bought and paid for by water users.   In this case, at the end of every year, farmers conserve water to ensure that they will have enough water for the beginning of the next planting season.  Farmers have paid for this water and store it in the San Luis Reservoir, as they do every year.  The Department of the Interior is under contract to deliver this stored water back to the farmers.  Secretary Salazar’s claim that this “assured water supply” is a result of recent storms is misleading and provides false hope to Valley residents.

“The actions of the Department of Interior are a classic ponzi scheme that would make Bernard Madoff jealous.  In this case, the Secretary is providing water users with the water they already bought.  The Secretary’s generosity knows no bounds. Mr. Salazar seems to think he can gift to farmers their own water. This kind of thinking is exactly why radical environmentalists dominate Washington. Salazar, the Obama Administration, and the Democratic Congress refuse to recognize property rights. Whether the property in question is your water, land or hard earned tax dollars, everything is fair game to them. If you are lucky enough to get to keep what you have worked hard for, Obama and his crew will send out a press release and take credit.” - Congressman Devin Nunes, sponsor of H.R. 3105 (CA- 21) 

“The Administration is publicly patting itself on the back for doing exactly what they are obligated to do – provide farmers with the water they already own.  Political spin will not help the thousands who are unemployed, and it will not help the farmers who have had no choice but to sell their land and lay off workers.  They need real action, and they need it now.  We have the ability to solve this problem - all we have to do is turn on the pumps.  If Secretary Salazar wants to prove that this Administration hasn’t turned its back on San Joaquin Valley communities, he will support legislation to restore the flow of water.” - House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Republican Doc Hastings (WA-04


“The day after our water forum in Fresno, the Interior Secretary used his authority to “release” up to 400,000 acre-feet of water already owned by Central Valley farmers.  Having demonstrated his authority to act, he now needs to follow through and release the water that he holds hostage to the Delta Smelt,” said Congressman McClintock – House Water and Power Ranking Republican Tom McClintock (CA-04)

“This is just one more example where this Administration gives the appearance of addressing a problem, when all they are really doing is providing window-dressing.  Secretary Salazar is playing politics when we need real, long-term solutions that bring people back to work.  As I heard at our recent Congressional Water Forum in Fresno, the time to act is now.” - Western Caucus Chairman Rob Bishop (UT-01)

“We are in a dire water situation in California, and are facing a situation where a tiny fish is taking precedence over our local farmers and workers, which is killing jobs and our local economies.  The Central Valley should not be ignored as we suffer thorough a man made drought caused by regulations resulting in mandated water reductions.   Our farmers, families, and communities are tired of the continued lip service paid to our problems, and it is time for the Administration and the Democratic Leadership to wake up and get the message that jobs grow where water flows.” - Congressman Kevin McCarthy (CA-22)

Background:

On Monday, January 25th, Republican Members of Congress hosted a Water Forum in Fresno, California on addressing the San Joaquin Valley water crisis.  Secretary Salazar turned down an invitation to participate in this forum or send a representative from the Department of the Interior.

Hundreds of famers and residents throughout the Valley attended the meeting and expressed the urgent need for the government to take action to restore the flow of water to farmers. 

Congressman Devin Nunes has introduced Turn on the Pumps Act (H.R. 3105), to provide immediate relief.  This bill would suspend portions of the Endangered Species Act to turn the pumps on to full operating capacity.  Secretary Salazar and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have refused to support this legislation.

Climate Change IS REAL ... It's just NOT OUR FAULT!!!

Ask any geologist about Climate Change, and they'll tell you it's a constant. That means it's ALWAYS HAPPENING.

With the advent of "Climategate" and the exposing of the fraud of Man-Caused "Global Warming," we learn the simple truth of the "Climate Change" Industry.
I use the term "Industry" since Government calls it that, even though it's a fraudulent use of a positive term. But then, Government uses the term "Industry" to describe all sorts of entities that produce nothing of value or good.
Such as the "Tax Preparation" Industry. And no, I don't agree that "it's a necessary evil."

But I digress.
As any student of Geology, any Rockhound, Farmer, or even "Lawnmower Guy" will tell you, Climate Change is always happening, and always has. It happened BILLIONS of years before man appeared, if you're a believer in the Fossil Record.
Now, I'm NOT going to argue about fossils and Religion ... That is, with one exception.

That exception is the newest of Religions, the Religion of "Man-Caused Climate Change."

Huh? It's a Religion?

Well, step back and take a good, long look.

"Man-Caused Climate Change" has every aspect of a classic Religion. We'll use a number of examples from various Religions, and please don't accuse me of throwing stones, ok? I see the Good in Religion, and the Bad, and if you're offended by my references, look at History. God is Good, Man is Flawed.
Live with it.

What makes "Man-Caused Climate Change" a Religion, you query? Well ...

It has "Facts" (i.e. Scripture) which are not to be disputed, or discussed in the negative.


It has a Patriarchal Figurehead, Al Gore, whose words and assertions are to be taken in the Pontifical sense, as infallible.

It has a "Savior," who brings the word of "Saving the Earth" to Man, who is judged as "Killing the Earth."


It has a God, "Gaia," Earth.


It has Indulgences (Carbon Credits) that are "sold" by the Patriarch and required by Edict.


It has Evangelical Movements ("Green Power") that revere Poverty & the Ascetic over Abundance, except for the Elect ("the Elite") such as the Patriarch. As with every other Religion, the Elect i.e. "Priests," Scientists, etc. are held in high regard, and touted as being "infallible."


It has a Moral Code, by which one can become "Righteous" and "Save the Planet," making those virtuous adherents "Better" than those who don't follow "the Path."


It has Guilt and Sin: Those who use more power, water, etc. than others are "Sinners," with the specific exceptions of those who are Patriarchs or "the Elect." The Patriarch is given "alms" (Nobel Prize, Academy Award, etc.) and exceptions, for His words are Holy.


By "paying a tithe" i.e. buying Carbon Credits, paying more for using less energy, using CFL's, the Adherent gains Righteousness and Favor with their peers and the Elect.

Okay, enough of that for now. I could go on all day.
The simple fact is that this is a Religion for people who don't believe in God.
This Religion gives the Adherent all of "the Power." Or so it claims.

It claims that by adhering to a Standard of Poverty, they will achieve the Righteous Objective, "Saving the Earth."
That, if you give Control over your home thermostat to "the Elect" (the Legislature, Bureaucrats, PG&E, CARB, etc.) you're "Saving the Earth."

Somehow, at least for me, this hearkens back to the Medieval days when, in starkly realistic terms, the Lord of the Castle owned the People, and was required to pay taxes & tithes to the actual owner of the Land, the Bishop, the Pope and The Church.

These taxes & tithes were collected from whom?
THE PEOPLE. 
AT THE POINT OF A SWORD OR GUN.


~

This is what our President wishes to "Roll Back" to. This is obvious to anyone who listens to His words, and doesn't indulge themselves in saying "Oh, He didn't meant that, He meant ..."
What He means is that we're going to be FORCED into Poverty by our Lords, the Elect.

Now, to answer those who will be offended that their fantasies & fallacies are being violated, I'm speaking from a strictly historic viewpoint, a viewpoint of Truth.
I blame every evil man, not God, for the wrongs and evils done in "the Name of God." They have been done by ALL Religions, without exception, because all Religions have attracted men who were willing to use the Religion for their own selfish purposes.

In closing, I look to members of my own family, who've said by way of apology (look up the word, and see what it means) for Al Gore, Prez Obama and all those who wish to feed us the Kool-Aid, "Oh, but they mean well! They just want to save the Planet!"

BALDERDASH! They mean to do the same as all others who resort to Tyranny;
Command & Control, in Service of THEMSELVES by any means necessary.

By using the "Fact" of the now disproved "Man-Caused Carbon Dioxide buildup causes Global Warming" argument, the Elect were justified in their course toward ever wider means of Control over the daily lives of the People. In the revelation that the assertions were based on fraudulent ("cooked") data, their "Scripture" has been proven as false as it was limited.

But why did the Scientists ("Priests") "cook" & "homogenize" the climate data, discarding that which didn't prove their assertions? Well, self interest! They'd lose their funding if they didn't prove what the Elect wanted them to prove! It would be "Off with their HEADS!" (See Alice in Wonderland, written by an Anglican Priest.)

The simple Truth is that the Elect want what They want, no matter what it takes.
They wish, as did the Medieval "Lord with the Sword," to tell us what we can eat, where we can go, what we can grow, who we can see, what we may say, what we must think, etc ...

They desire CONTROL.
OVER US ALL.

It's that simple.

"Climategate" Protest This Saturday!!!

If you don't live in Fresno, start one in your town!
 
Announcing:

"Climategate"
Street Protest

Saturday Dec. 5th
12 noon - 2 pm
 Blackstone/Nees at Riverpark
Meet at the In-and-Out Burger Parking Lot


"Climategate" is the name of the latest global warming scandal.  It was discovered that leading global warming scientists were falsifying facts about global warming to promote the lie.  On top of that... this weekend starts the beginning of meetings in Copenhagen, Denmark that uses this false science to subject the United States to a global international body on all subjects pertaining to energy.  It will use "carbon credits" to tax American business and individuals.  It is essentially a transfer of wealth from the U.S. to other countries... and the U.S. will lose its own sovereignty over energy production and use.  This is unacceptable.  Please join your fellow patriots in sending a message!
 
We will not stand for this!!!

Please create your own sign (or we will have some extras) and join us!!!  It will be a short two-hour protest right in the middle of holiday shopping... many people will see us and most will support us... but we must let our voice be heard!!


 
Prizes for best 3 signs!

The (hey, 2 days in a row!) Daily Bug: California's Chief Offender ... Sen. Levin says, "Tax 'em!" ... Back to the trough, Progressives!

Oops! Looks like the "Elites" need some time with Miss Manners ...

Just a week after California's "First Lady" was caught parking in a red zone, guess who's been caught doing the very same thing? Just watch:



Unlike the reporter, I DON'T FEEL BAD! I feel vaguely queasy, and just plain betrayed. I voted for this train wreck of a "Chief Executive," who turned out to be just another Liberal in Republican's clothing.
However, I do thank Arnold and the current crop of Dempublicans for one big helper; they're too arrogant to hide the fact that they expect to be treated as "special" & "privileged." After all, they're much too important to be required to follow the same laws as we "little people" are expected to, right?

Keep up the good work, Arnie!

Thanks to Breitbart.tv for the great link!

!

Another "Promise" broken ...

Proving once again that there's no one quite as "deef!" as a Democratic Senate "Leader," the "Honorable" (sic) Sam Levin said this about funding further troops for the Afghanistan "Conflict":





Oh, by the way, my handy-dandy Dictionary defines fungible this way:

"fungible |ˈfənjəbəl|
adjective - Law
(of goods contracted for without an individual specimen being specified) able to replace or be replaced by another identical item; mutually interchangeable : money is fungible—money that is raised for one purpose can easily be used for another."

So, Sen. Levin is telling us that regarding a war tax,"well, the money's fungible, and that would be the stated purpose" of a tax on those making over ... wait, is it 200 or 250 thousand dollars? According to Sen. Levin, "they have done incredibly well!"

Again, the great thing about the Dempublicans is that they provide you with ready, easy examples. No, he's not a hypocrite ... It was President Obama that said "not a penny of new taxes."
And y'know, when Prez Obama signs the Bill, it'll be just like when Prez Clinton sadly told us he'd worked harder than he ever had in his life, and there was no way he could "give" us a tax cut.

And oh, Mr. Levin? We think that it's important that you pay for this, if you possibly can. WEthink that you should at least come out and tell us that your candidate was lying.
!


Chugging the Kool-Aid by the six-pack ..."

This pithy offering from the Bloodthirsty Liberal shows just how deeply the "Mainstream Media" has guzzled at the trough of Progressivism:

The Fraud Estate

November 24, 2009 at 5:06 pm · Filed under Health Care, Media Morons

I can’t tell you how dispiriting it is to read this exchange quoted by James Taranto at BOTW:

NewsBusters.org captured a fascinating exchange about so-called health-care reform on “Inside Washington.” The panelists were columnist Charles Krauthammer, Newsweek’s assistant managing editor Evan Thomas and National Public Radio’s Nina Totenberg:

Krauthammer: The fraudulence of these numbers is absolutely staggering, and I’ll explain to you why. The benefits kick in in 2015, so outlays are only for half of that decade. The taxes and the cuts, the presumed spending cuts, all kick in at the beginning. You’ve got 10 years of money in and five years of outlay, so of course it will produce a deficit–I mean, a surplus. If you start of 2015 and go until the end of time, the amount of deficit added every decade is going to be about half a trillion. So once you start–when the program starts, it will be annually–it will cause a huge deficit annually. That is an absolutely phony number that [Sen. Harry] Reid gave us.

Thomas: Charles is right. This bill is a fiscal fraud. I’d still vote for it, because I think it’s a good thing to extend benefits and start down the road to universal and–because of the health insurance. But we have to be–if we were honest about it, we would say that we have not dealt with the money piece of it, with the cost thing, that we’re going to have to deal with. We’re going to kick that down the road and have to deal with it later.

Krauthammer: How do you do that?

Totenberg: The thing about the health care bill, though, is that–the Senate bill–is that it actually tries to do something about costs. It its starts down that road.

Thomas: It doesn’t! It doesn’t, it’s as fake as a $2 bill [sic]. You don’t get serious about costs.

Totenberg: Unlike the House bill, it tries to do things about cost. I am not saying it’s ideal. But we have to start this. But if we don’t get a health care bill this time, it is probably the last chance.

So here we have an editor of what used to be a newsmagazine endorsing what he himself calls “a fiscal fraud,” and an NPR reporter referring in the first person to partisan advocates of a controversial piece of legislation.

Exactly. And I can’t tell who is worse: the irresponsible fraud who sees bankruptcy looming, but calls to push ahead anyway; or the “true believer” who accepts Reid’s lies, and shouts down any dissent. Both of whom are members of the press.

This is bumming me out.
-----
I was letting it bum me out over the weekend, too. Then I went and spent some time with my friends, and talked to my Mother, and checked in with my best buds ... and found that, to a person, they were feeling the same way. So we talked, reinforced each other in our solidarity, and decided that this too can be changed.

So, keep talking, Patriots!

The (yes, I know I keep promising) Daily Bug ... From Glen Beck, "The PLAN" & once & for all, the Obama, SEIU, ACORN, Stern & Soros connection ... and a few words of thanks

Well, I know that there are some Patriots out there who can't get Glen Beck, so here's my posting of both "The PLAN" & his great program section on "the connection."

For those of you who have to work or sleep during his program, or live at the bottom of a well eating bugs and worshiping hairballs (hey, ya never know ...) Glen Beck is the prime target of the Progressives and the White House and the Op-Media, and ... you know my drift.
Like yours truly, he's dedicating his life to waking up the American voting public.
He's not just stopping there, knowing that we tend to get a cuppa' joe, a bagel and then go back for a nap. Nope, he's serious about helping all of our confused or tired or frightened peers, and making sure that they know they're not alone.

So, without further editorial ado-do ("eeeeewwwww!"), here's Glen:

Preamble:


And "The PLAN"


As Glen suggested, I've gone to his site and am working on getting him to come to the Savemart Center with "The Plan." I hope that you'll join me, and join in planning to be one of those who will attend the August 28, 2010 Rally in D.C.

Now, the second "payoff" piece:









To put your word in for  a Fresno site, go to http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/33398/

Any questions? Fine, lets get on with local fun.

Thanks to Breitbart.tv for the leads, and YouTube for allowing freedom of editing, which allowed other users to take Media Matters chopped up take on Glen's announcement , and edit it back together.
See, even Progressive shills can be useful.

!!!

Meanwhile, back here in "Dullsville":


Bill Beckham reports on the Central Valley Tea Party social site about this pithy video from the NUHW, posted at Breitbart.tv:



So, another small nail in the SEIU coffin. I've had the pleasure of speaking with "rank & file" members of numerous Unions in the past year, and without fail they're outraged at the continuous offenses committed by Union thugs. We're just waiting for them to rise at their meetings, as we did at the Town Halls, and take their Unions back. I hope it wil happen soon.

Thanks for the help, Bill!
!

 From the Wall Street Journal & Meet the Press, via Drudge, Sen. Joe Leiberman says some interesting things, with Sen. Di-Fi looking on, doing her best "Old Stone Face" impression:





The questions that had persisted, and bugged me and others was exactly "WHY?" Senator Leiberman decided to vote to advance this Bill. This makes it all clear, and allows me to say that the microscope will now be applied to the entire process.
It will allow us to point out to "We, the People" who are finally paying attention, what's actually happening. Instead of simply "punching the pillow & rolling over," or just ordering another latte, we'll be able to "HOWL!" about exactly how screwed up the entire Legislative process has become.

Just as Sen. Mary Landrieu made clear just how eager her Leadership was to advance their "Historic" Bill at any cost to "We, the People," Sen. Leiberman see's a "win-win" in exposing how business as usual is done in the Senate. Remember "I voted for it, then I voted against it"?

"The spin" is what will make your head spin, eventually.
Whatever the spin is, what's actually happening is that the Progressives are showing us just how corrupt their "system" is.
The neat thing is that so many of us are now awake & willing to raise a ruckus!

The final word on this one is that we all have an opportunity to get out there, stand with our signs, call and  write and email and ...

UP THE VOLTAGE!

 (Be sure to follow the WSJ link and read their analysis.)

!


Finally, it was great to see so many Patriots out at the Fairgrounds for the Freedom Relay culmination.
After what can honestly be pronounced a whirlwind tour, the three Relay Teams met and delivered the donations of patriotic and charitable folk from all over the Nation.
Along with all of the local efforts, the great folks of the Tea Party Patriots and Families Protecting the Valley have made a real difference in gaining National attention to the plight of Valley Farmers, and the Workers who've been so deeply affected. In addition, they've been able to point out how easily any other part of America could become a casualty of Enviro-Hypocrites.

Keep it up, Patriots!

!

The Daily Bug is available at least a few days of the week at the NObama County Register.
Feel free to comment or reply or make fun of me or give some sort of feedback, since I sometimes get kinda lonely at this nice little keyboard.
I promise that I'll keep trying to annoy you into talking back.

The Email Has Hit The Fan - Do Hacked Emails Show Global Warming Fraud?, from Townhall.com

Do Hacked Emails Show Global Warming Fraud?
Posted by: Meredith Jessup at 8:47 PM
The blogosphere is on fire today with reports that a UK climate change advocacy center had its email hacked and thousands of files have been re-posted online which suggest these activists have been playing fast and loose with scientific evidence of global climate change (or the lack thereof). 

The director of the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit has reportedly confirmed the re-posted emails are genuine.  Meanwhile, Australian media--including the Australian Herald-Sun--are reporting that these emails suggest there's an active conspiracy to hide information from the public that could unravel climate change theories.  Via Watt's Up With That:
A 62 megabyte zip file, containing around 160 megabytes of emails, pdfs and other documents, has been confirmed as genuine by the head of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, Dr Phil Jones.
In an exclusive interview with Investigate magazine’s TGIF Edition, Jones confirms his organization has been hacked, and the data flying all over the internet appears to have come from his organisation.
“It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails.”
Keith Johnson has commented on the Wall Street Journal's blog:
Some of the old emails from scientists made public apparently make references to things like “hid[ing] the decline,” referring to global temperature series and different ways to slice and dice climate data.
In all, it seems there are more than 3,000 files in the hacked folders, which have been reposted in various places on the Internet.
The big Copenhagen summit had lost a lot of its appeal in recent days, as world leaders kept dialing down expectations for the climate talks. Maybe this will spice things up.
ClimateDepot has complete coverage of the story, including all the latest developments as this story spreads. 
To find comments like "I'll maybe cut the last few points off the filtered curve before I give the talk again as that's trending down as a result of the end effects and the recent cold-ish years" from these climate experts, go here for a full searchable database of the hacked emails.
We'll definitely be keeping an eye on this "smoking gun" story to see how it all unfolds...

From the Mouth of Ray - "The smelt are dying anyway!"

Announced this hour on KMJ's Ray Appleton Show was the latest study on the Delta Smelt, which shows that, even with the pumps turned off, the smelt are "still declining" (DYING!)!!!

Lets see whether this makes it to the "Mainstream" Media today. I know that it won't.

Ray did say that something "BIG" is coming.

I'll link to the podcast of the show a.s.a.p.

Mis-Representatives in Los Banos?

From the Families Protecting the Valley newsletter, Volume 1 Issue14, September 14, 2009:

Farmer sets the record straight
One of Families Protecting the Valley's (FPV) goals is to increase the awareness of valley folks and encourage their participation in the water situation. On occasion, we will send out efforts made by valley folks. Below is one such example.

This letter was written by a grower from the Los Banos area who obviously understands the facts on the water issues facing both sides of the valley. As with all letters we print from others, FPV does not take a political position but does recognize letters that contain educational qualities that we feel benefit our readers.


Letter to the editor
Mayor was manipulated
published September 4, 2009 in the Los Banos Enterprise

I feel that Mayor Jones was manipulated by Congressmen Cardoza and Costa. I am not sure why the mayor allowed our Valley congressional delegation to use him. Now is the time to stop political posturing and to aggressively and effectively fashion a desperately needed situation to this "man-made" drought.

I would suggest that the mayor check his facts before giving adulation and blind support. The United States Bureau of Reclamation did indeed re-scheduling over 250,000 acre feet of federal water from 2008 to 2009.

Those of us that have been involved in Westside farming over the years know that about 150,000 acre feet of such rescheduling is routinely requested and granted by the United States Bureau of Reclamation on an annual basis.

What was different this year was the fact that San Luis Reservoir was only at about 30 percent (300,000 acre feet federal) of storage capacity going in to 2009. Granting the re-schedule request for over 250,000 acre feet meant that there would be virtually no water available in San Luis Reservoir to meet senior water rights holders' (such as Central California Irrigation District) irrigation demands.

At the time, most modeling projected that USBR would probably have to take water from Friant Dam to meet those demands, reducing water made available to Friant Water User Authority Districts on the east side. My thanks goes to the Friant Water Users Authority for asking the USBR to honor the re-scheduling requests, supporting west side districts facing a 0 percent supply this year, even at the risk of their own contract supply.

Addressing water transfers by state and federal agencies this year. The Drought Water Bank was planning to transfer up to 600,000 acre feet from the Sacramento Valley to south of delta this year, with about half of that destined to local desperate Westside districts. Only around 90,000 acre feet total will actually be made available, with only about 30,000 acre feet going to local Westside districts.

Even though these small amounts of water are greatly appreciated, meeting 15 percent of a very achievable goal is hardly a success.

What we need to survive is 100 percent support for real solutions. Congressmen Cardoza and Costa need to join with Congressman Devin Nunes in solving the man-made drought.

Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa have voted with the Democratic leadership of Pelosi and Miller. Their votes have kept the "Pumps" off! Their votes have enabled the removal of water, jobs, and farming on over 1.5 million acres of our valley!

Mayor Jones why are you enabling Cardoza and Costa to vote against our Valley families and farmers?
