The Government Way of Getting Things Done

Okay, this video is a little cheesy - but it makes a good point. If the government goes in to "help" an industry, often they seem to do what's counter-intuitive and simply make a mess! The California Legislature is particularly adept at it (bless their hearts!) - as the video points out, they would rather divert water to the tiny little Delta smelt fish instead of sending it to farmers in the Central Valley, which produces much of the produce for the country. Apparently a tiny fish has more value to them than the farmers whose livelihood depends on water rights and to the people of this state who will have to pay more and more for food as it becomes scarce due to farmland drying up into dust. Does that make sense to you? It sure doesn't to me!

Which is why the Tea Party Patriots of California have planned a March on Sacramento for Aug. 28. If you can, go make your voice heard!

FROM THE SAC 828 BLOG:
MARCH ON SACRAMENTO 8.28.09
There is no political affiliation associated with the March on Sacramento 8.28.09.

This is the residents of California: business owners AND workers, taxpayers AND consumers, demanding economically sound, environmentally sensible solutions rather than impossible politically-driven regulations.

We won’t be distracted by politicians who attempt to “divide and conquer”…we are resolved to remain united and and strong.

We don’t have to agree on EVERYTHING, but we agree on this.

All other issues aside, we are marching together in Sacramento to protest business-and-job-killing, price-and-tax-raising policies that originate in our Capitol under the guise of “protecting the environment.”
