Obama to California: “Water is Not a Right, It’s a Privilege”

The Central Valley’s water dilemma puts our food supply in jeopardy, not to mention the constitutional relationship between State and Federal government.

The big question here- Who gets to make decisions about California’s water and on what grounds?  Read the article HERE

Consider that the judicial solution holds that if the fish population is declining, we will leave more water in the river and see if that works. No one knows if it will. Maybe there is a chemical or biological explanation, but we will take a chance because the lives of fish are at stake.

So when a compromise solution is proposed, called the “Two Gates” project, that would restore water and possibly protect fish, the Obama administration’s Interior Secretary, Ken Salzar put the brakes on it. So we will experiment to put fish over people, but we will not experiment to put people over fish. How is that Hope and Change working for you?

lol Here in New Mexico we have a concept known as "water rights" and it refers to the share of the natural water resources tied to the land ownership.

It means you cant just dam up a river and rob the people down stream of their water rights.
the same applies to the State at large in regard to Colorado upstream and Texas downstream.
This is a well established concept, and it is one of the most important issues in the South West in general.

What the Federal goverment has done is violated their water rights, where this a different population or a different age for southern California the people would have taken up arms and overthrown this tyrant.
