CALIFORNIA's WATER RIGHTS FROM BIG AG
From Food & Water Watch
Proposition 1 Is a $14 Billion Scam to Give Our Water to Special Interests
We Need Real Water Solutions, Not Special Interest Giveaways!
Say NO to More Public Debt to Give Our Water to Big Ag
This November, California voters will be faced with a $7.5 billion bond measure called Proposition 1. Special interests will tell you the measure will help with the drought and fund useful water projects, but don't believe them.
In reality, Prop 1 will use taxpayer money to send more water to corporate agriculture and stick our state with massive debt. Join us in opposing Prop 1, a taxpayer-funded special interest giveaway!
Proposition 1 allocates up to $3.5 billion for dams and water transfers for greedy corporate agribusinesses. Big Ag has their eye on two new dams and they want our money to pay for them. Corporate farmers like Beverly Hills billionaire Stewart Resnick are raking in high profits despite the drought — they should not be receiving more taxpayer-subsidized water for their private benefit!
Big Ag's greed for more water would come at the expense of family farmers, our wild salmon population and the sustainable fishing economy that depends on them. No more public debt for corporate ag!
In addition, Proposition 1 would stick California with a whopping $14.4 billion in total new debt ($7.5 billion plus interest) by taking $360 million per year out of our state budget for the next 40 years. The money to fund Prop 1 will come at the expense of other vital public services like education and health care.
We need to invest in real water solutions, not fund special interest water projects.
Despite warnings from the Environmental Protection Agency, politicians like Governor Jerry Brown — an ally of Resnick — will go to great lengths to take water from the places and people that truly need it, all in the name of big business and big profit.
Just like the twin tunnels proposal, Proposition 1 does nothing to address the root causes of California's water crisis or make our water use more efficient, it simply rewards powerful special interests — like Big Ag — who are already worsening our water problems. This is especially concerning when we really do need to spend billions on fixing our old pipes and leaking local water and sewer systems.
We don't have more money or water to waste subsidizing corporate interests!

HUMAN WATER RIGHTS
HUMAN WATER RIGHTS
"WATER IS SO MUCH A PART OF US WE HAVE NOT NOTICED THAT WE'VE BEEN SEPARATED FROM IT"....... 'LADY J'....
I just received this article from a very dear friend who knows JGERARD / "PEACE GALLERY's" stand on HUMAN WATER RIGHTS....so
here we go: please read every word in this article!!!!.... If we don't
deal with this issue as a united human race, we won't live long enough
to enjoy global warming!!!!!
PEACE.....Julia 'Lady J' Gerard......
Like most Americans, I always took the clean water running out of my tap
for granted. That changed in January, when West Virginia American Water
(WVAW) sent out an all points alert to stop drinking, cooking, washing,
or doing anything else with the H₂O flowing into my home, except flush
the toilet.
Thus began the biggest fouling of a public water supply in our nation’s history. Thanks to the negligence of Freedom Industries —
a supplier of chemicals to the coal industry — all schools,
restaurants, hotels, and other public facilities in our nine-county
region closed immediately.
Everyone
in my community had become water refugees.State lawmakers, who had just
started the legislative session in Charleston, were sent home from the
capital city. Many businesses didn’t open their doors again for a full
week and then had to post “we use bottled water” signs in their windows
to lure their customers back.
This
is more than a problem afflicting one in six West Virginia residents.
It’s a national health issue that could harm any of our 54,000 public
water supply systems.
Six months later, here in Charleston, we’re still dealing with the
spill’s aftermath. We’ve come to realize that clean tap water is a
precious commodity.
A recent National Geographic article catalogues
various ways our public drinking water sources are threatened. The
perils include coal ash from utilities, farm feedlot waste lagoons, oil
pipelines, and motor or rail transport of oil and other chemicals.
Thanks to these weak regulations, we’ve turned into involuntary guinea pigs in an enormous science experiment.
Jason Myer, a Charleston filmmaker, is marketing “test subject”
T-shirts emblazoned with the symbol for MCHM. Proceeds will fund a
documentary he’s making about the spill and its impact on our lives.
Other
states need to take heed of what’s going on in West Virginia. This
should be a wakeup call that gets them to look around and assess the
potential for the same kind of disaster in their own backyards.
The
estimated 10,000 gallons of MCHM that spilled here comprise about the
same volume of that poison as one large semi tanker truck totes around. A
similar accident could happen anywhere.
You’d
hope that Congress would act to be sure that more Americans don’t
become unwilling test subjects. But according to the Safer Chemicals,
Healthy Families coalition, which is fighting for stricter regulations
on these chemicals, you would be wrong.
In
the House, Republican leaders want to keep its chemical industry
campaign donors happy and generous. The Senate is struggling with
competing industry and consumer bills.
We
can’t let them carry on like this. And the “it can’t happen here”
mentality must go. These chemicals are everywhere — traveling down our
highways, rails, rivers, and pipelines. They’re being stored in old
tanks up the river from lots of population centers, not just in West
Virginia.
Don’t let this happen in your state. We don’t need a bigger market for “test subject” t-shirts.

THESE "WATER KANJI" LOGOS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY JGERARD / "PEACE GALLERY" AS THE OFFICIAL SYMBOL OF
"THE HUMAN WATER RIGHTS" MOVEMENT".....
The Kanji is the Japanese symbol for water.... It is also the Chinese symbol for water and control..
