Republican RINOS join Obama's environmental mafia to deny water to starving farmers in California

Rick Nelson

Obama has allowed (or pushed) his Interior Department to block water to the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.  This is one of the most fertile farming grounds in the country is is often referred to as the nations "food pantry".  The region is a key source of the nation's food supply.  Farmers in this area are in a life-and death battle with environmental extremist groups, the Apollo Alliance, and the Obama administration.

At the center of the battle is a 2-inch fish called the Delta Smelt that the environmentalis claim they want to protect.  They have used this fish to prevent farmers in the vally from getting the water that is needed to farm.  As a result enemployment in the area is 41 percent.  Farmers are now standing in lines fro 6-8 hours to get canned rations from China to survive.  The farm workers there are literally starving and have no alternatives.  The government has turned its back on them.  They are not asking for handouts, they only want water.  This is happening in America, not some third world country.

Yesterday, further tragedy happened in the US Senate. Republican SenatorJim DeMintof South Carolina An  offered up an amendment to the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010 that would have provided water to these starving farmers and workers.  Every single democrat voted against giving water to the farmers.  What is not surprising is that a trio of Republican RINOS voted against it too.  Nedd I have to tell you who whey were.  Yes, it was the typical RINOS--Snowe, Collins, and Alexander. 

It is past time for conservatives to show these RHINO's the exit door of the Senate.  Call their offices and hold them accountable.  More importantly, be sure to support their primary challengers so that we can defeat them at the ballot box.  This may be the only thing I agree with Obama on.  In the case of the Republican RINOS, we need"Change"!

Alexanders office declined to issue a comment when given the opportunity. 

Snowe and Collins could not be reached for comment after much effort.  We were merely directed to an automated comment line.
