KLAMATH WATER RIGHTS

Testing the resolve of free Americans

by Dorothy Anne Seese

At dawn on August 23, 2001, the federal agents again closed the headgates

to the A Canal, shutting off the flow of water to the Klamath Falls

farmers. The event was witnessed by farmers and supporters, who then

proceeded to go to the river behind the headgates and begin laying a

twelve-inch pipe to divert the water around the headgates.

A twelve inch pipe is pretty symbolic, because it cannot provide the water

that the Klamath Falls farmers need in order to irrigate their crops.

Other farmers, some from Nevada and Montana as well as other parts of the

U.S., joined in the protest against the government saving the available

water to "protect" allegedly endangered species of fish.

It's about time every American woke up to the fact that what's happening at

Klamath Falls isn't about fish, it's about the use of the Endangered

Species Act to dispossess Americans from their own land.

That's why Klamath Falls is not a local issue at all, it's a national issue.

A church on some prime land along the California coastline has been

prohibited from renovating its facility to accommodate those who wish to

come to the church, citing everything from parking laws to butterfly

protection.

All across the United States, owners of prime land somehow manage to also

be owners of the habitat of some endangered species that restricts their

use of that land.

You don't care? Sooner or later you will, even if you own nothing more

than a tract home in a planned community where the paint is all the same

color and every roof was tiled from the same batch. Your management

association already dictates what you can and cannot do with your front

yard, and your back yard is next. After that, it's what you can do inside

your home.

We're a people who are losing our freedoms and property rights by the day,

week, month and year and as a nation, we never seem wake up to what's

happening until it's on our own doorstep.

This is Big Government and Big Agenda versus The People of the United States.

We as a nation need the firm resolve to tell the government and the

non-governmental organizations that protect flat-winged snakes "we've had

enough" of their interference, we won't take any more.

That is not anti-government as the media portrays it. That is

PRO-CONSTITUTION as that document was written and intended to be used to

protect the people against such things as the monstrous many-tentacled

hydra that this government has become during the past four decades.

Too many folks are just too comfortable to care. To those folks I would

say, the folks on the Titanic were pretty comfortable too ... until the

ship hit the iceberg.

Hopefully the resolve of the Klamath Falls farmers and their many

supporters will resonate across America and expose the government land

grabs and losses of private property rights that are going on in America,

never reported by major media, and largely unknown to Joe Average who puts

in a forty to sixty hour workweek and only gets local news on the radio as

he drives home.

We need some strong resolve. Since the 1960's the government has been

executing one plan after another to intrude into the lives of private

citizens whose hope once lay in the protections afforded by the

Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Folks ... the Bill of Rights is nearly a historical document of no force

and effect except as it is twisted and perverted by the special interest

groups to enforce their agenda of a wholly godless, totally subservient,

government-dependent America.

Fortunately, many more Americans are awake now than they were five or ten

years ago.

Their resolve is vital to the freedom of our nation and our people. That's

you and me!
