what the environmentalist along with their government has done to that state should be a crime
until the people stand up to them they will continue to stomp all over you. AND this is just one way they plan on doing it.

California Drought: All About Control

If Barack Obama can bypass his legislature, and seize executive control like a dictator at the national level, California Governor Jerry Brown has determined he can do the same at the state level. The liberal left blames Pat Brown, the California governor that was Jerry Brown’s father, for the water crisis California faces by determining it was Pat Brown’s decision to bring water to Southern California which encouraged millions upon millions to come to Southern California, which in turn created a population so big that there isn’t enough water to quench the thirst of all of them.
The truth is, the fault does not lie in Pat Brown’s “water evangelism,” as much as the largely liberal left leadership of California’s past and present did not, and refuses to, prepare for the consequences of Pat Brown’s incredible water projects that, yes, attracted millions of new people to California.
More than half of a century ago, California Pat Brown went on a crusade, to bring water to Southern California, at any price. Pat Brown was governor of California from 1959 to 1967, and during his reign, he launched the California Water Project, a $1.8 billion initiative that turned California into an oasis. The San Joaquin Valley in Central California was lush with farms, and became the Salad Bowl of the World. Today’s farmland, minus the sacrificial lamb of the Central Valley, of which has been made into a dust bowl in the name of a little fish called a delta smelt, still covers 750,000 acres of irrigated farmland.
Pat Brown’s water crusade recognized that the rain was in Northern California, but the need for water was in Southern California, where, if not for humanity’s manipulation of the landscape, it would be an arid desert.
Brown succeeded, creating an incredible system that encouraged the population of California to boom from 1959’s 15 million, to today’s nearly 40 million people. Much of the migration was from the old dust bowl in the midwest and the south, most of those people seeking to work on farms. My grandfather was one of those folks - a poor sharecropper from Arkansas willing to work incredible hours in the fields to make a living, and live in a shack with no comforts of civilized life. . . a job today, we are told, Americans aren’t willing to do, so we must import new workers, illegally, from south of the border.
