Robert Johnson of Californians Against the Canal that I urge you to participate
in RIGHT NOW to stop the Delta water package and $12 billion water bond from
going through the Legislature today. Below that is a link to my article on
alternet.org about the Grassroots Uprising against Senator Darrell Steinberg's
mad rush to push the water bill through the Legislature. Circulate this alert
widely!</FONT></DIV>

face=Tahoma color=#444444 size=4>This $12.4 billion bond bill - yes - General
Obligation Bond bill -- is just not what California needs now. Not only does the
bill provide no explicit protections for the estuary, this give the Governor
power to appoint ALL 7 Delta Stewardship Council Members! This group has the
power of Kings. The bill will elevate junior water rights holders in the desert
- the west side of the San Joaquin Valley from Los Banos all the way to
Bakersfield -- to equal those of people and farms proximate to the SF Bay Delta!
This is a rushed bond package that was heavily influenced by lobbyists for the
BILLIONAIRE water districts, Westlands Water District, Delta Mendota Water
Authority, and the Kern County Water Authority, who just booked a $77 million
water sale and profited most of $. Please take 3 minutes and follow instructions
below email ALL assembly and senate members. Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
