Mike, thanks for posting this! I have written an email to Dan Lungren, who is my Congressman in Washington, to express my concern about the future of the Delta. I included a link to this article in my email.

Thanks Mike
It is getting real scarry. I beleive it is time, past time, for people to really start screaming loudly or we will loose. Trere are so few people living in the Delta, compared to those who want our water, that unless we all work at being heard, it will not happen. In the article was a list of where local town hall meeting will take place this week, and I think it might be a good idea for everyone to go to some of these meeting and let their feelings and concerns be heard. It is amazing how a few motivated people and make a change - its time everyone! I live in NV so I hope I am not out of line here, but I love the Delta and I think it will be killed if people don't get involved. I am going to try to go to at least one of these meetings.
Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening would be appreciated.
Here is the list of meetings from the article

Jim I do not think you are out of line at all. Afterall, you boat in the delta, keep your boat stored in the delta and I'm sure you spend a significant amount of recreational dollars in the Delta.
