    Default Most important action we can take to stop 'water fix' twin tunnels in 2017

    You may or may not know... but a decision to build or not to build the twin tunnels is coming very soon... From the Sacramento Bee yesterday:

    http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article155966534.html

    If you have never attended an information seminar, an action campaign, a rally, a public hearing, or gone to any other meeting... If you've not signed a petition nor written a letter...

    If you have been thinking about what you can do to prevent Jerry Brown's proposed CA Water Fix and erection of the twin tunnels to divert more water from our already-ailing Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta...

    SIGN THE PETITION BEFORE JUNE 19TH: https://www.change.org/p/the-devil-i...op-the-tunnels

    ATTEND THIS MOST IMPORTANT MEETING: http://www.restorethedelta.org/2017/...tion-for-2017/

    I will be there and plan to speak out in defense of our delta ecosystem.

    Many of us have been fighting this fight for several years. It has been a weary battle and in the last couple of years, I have admittedly been a bit exhausted and missed some of the more recent public hearings, rallies, etc...

    I believe this one is an absolute must as a vote will be made by the Delta Stewardship Council on the day of the meeting and a bigger decision looms ahead in September, 2017 when water agencies will decide whether or not to finance Brown's 15.5 billion dollar plan to build the twin tunnels.

    DO IT FOR OUR FISHERIES, DO IT FOR OUR KIDS, DO IT FOR MIKE

    Default You ARE the 'someone else'...

    Disappointing but expected outcome of today's vote by the Delta Stewardship Council ~ 5-1 in favor of going ahead with the Ca. Waterfix/'Eco Restore' (twin tunnels) proposal as amended).

    I/m not sure what disappoints me more... the apathy that exists among folks who should be doing all they can to stop the tunnels? or those who wish to build them?

    The fight is far from over but if we hope to win... we need more advocacy and support.

    I know many fellow anglers and guides who profit from the fisheries of the AR, FR, and delta who were nowhere to be found today... I saw no familiar faces from Kiene's and only Dan Bacher from the Fish Sniffer in attendance today.

    When the rivers are sucked dry and you have no more anadromous fish to fish for... look in the mirror and then get started on "Rivers of a Lost Coast" PART 2

    I'll try to present a more detailed synopsis of the meeting at some future time.

    Thanks to any and all who did make it out to the meeting today

    You ARE the 'someone else'...
