Citizens
risk losing water rights; fight back
Mary Ann Novak
Capital Press Letter to
Editor
James Madison said, "I believe there are some instances of the
abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent
encroachment by those in power than by violent and sudden
usurpation." An excerpt from a letter from the Pacific Legal
Foundation. A warning to citizens losing rights, bit by bit, by a
government out of control.
(I believe there is a verse in the Constitution advising us to use the
chains of the Constitution to bind an out-of-control government.)
Hence, introduction of S1870 and S2421, The Clean Water Restoration Act.
Not only will these legislations redefine "navigable waters"
but they will have jurisdiction over every puddle, ponds - natural and
manmade - ditches, storm drains, gutters, etc.
There will be more federal agencies regulating all water, and our rights
and freedoms denied us, while convincing us it is for our good and
well-being.
Just what could this legislation do? Would your irrigation water be
limited or curtailed? Your home water source, your well, would it be
metered or disallowed?
The regulations this brings would be so costly you would lose your land.
Let's face it, it is a land grab, plain and simple.
Are we a democratic republic with freedoms, or have we and are we
becoming a communist fascist nation?
Shouldn't those we elected to office honor their oath and uphold the
Constitution?
We have an opportune time to research the legislators and candidates
voting records, what they voted for and what they support, and vote
accordingly.
Tell them to oppose this freedom-robbing legislation and any other
legislation that will deny our rights and dissolve our sovereignty.
Take a stand. It's your land, livelihood, freedom and your duty.
