Help Restore the Delta Build Its Army!
Are you worried about the $50 billion price tag for Jerry Brown's twin tunnels that your children and grandchildren will end up paying?
Are you worried that Northern California rivers will be sucked dry by the tunnels?
Are you worried that salmon fisheries will never be restored? And that the only salmon left for consumption will be farmed GMO salmon?
Are you worried that the tunnels will suck up all available public funding for water conservation, recycling, storm water, and ground water clean-up projects - the projects that will actually make more water for a growing population?
Are you worried that the boondoggle tunnels will be dry half of the time due to climate change?
Are you worried that there will not be enough water left in the Delta for farming?
Are you worried that the twin tunnels will destroy the economy and way-of-life for the five Delta counties?
Are you worried that the government will allow Delta levees to crumble so as to "free up" funding for the twin tunnels?
