Tell Congress how the water crisis impacts you
& your community.
California not only faces the third year of
drought conditions, but also a regulatory
drought caused by court rulings on the
Endangered Species Act that restricted water
releases.
Congressman George Radanovich (R-Mariposa)
recently introduced
H.R. 856, the
California Drought Alleviation Act of 2009, to
address the regulatory drought felt in
California. H.R. 856 will:
-
Provide a waiver of the endangered species act
as long as the drought persists
-
Create a fish hatchery program to restore the
endangered fish species
On March 31, a hearing will be held in the
House Resources Committee to address
California's drought conditions.
Your letters are
needed to explain how the water crisis has
directly impacted your operation.
Your comments will be entered into
Congressional record. Please include how
water shortages have impacted acres lost,
changes in cropping plans, your own financial
health, jobs lost and local communities.
