Democrat Gov Jerry Brown Postures for Big Agriculture on Their Water Crisis

by Register Peace & Freedom or Green
On April Fools' Day, 2015, Democrat Gov Jerry Brown posed at Phillips Station in the Sierras for a publicity stunt campaign to save his campaign contributors, Big Agriculture, and pretend to solve their water problem by attacking those who use 20% of California's agriculture, namely residents and businesses. The question must be asked, who is the April Fool, those who vote like robots for the Democrat-Republicans, who cause us only grief, or the Democrat-Republicans, who are the beneficiaries of campaign contributions from Big Agriculture, which uses 80% of California's water while contributing only 2% to California's domestic economy?
Democracy Now, on 4/2/15 reported on the publicity stunt and provided a rebuttal by Mark Hartsgaard at
http://www.democracynow.org/2015/4/2/after_warmest_winter_drought_stricken_california

Mr. Hartsgaard's article, "How Growers Gamed California's Drought," is at:

As Mr. Hartsgaard points out, Big Agriculture contributes equally to both Democrats and Republicans, proving that neither party is viable. It is not the right wing Ku Klux Klan that is destroying California, shutting off water to rural communities, growing crops that we do not need like high fat nuts in a country where some 60% of the people are overweight, refusing to charge Big Agriculture more money for water so they would be forced to practice conservation. It is not the right wing that allows big companies which own large buildings in San Francisco's Financial District, like the Bank of America at California and Kearny, and the building diagonally across the street, to literally water the sidewalks surrounding them, as occurred on Sunday, March 29, 2015. It is the capitalist class, of which Democrat Jerry Brown has been a life-long member. Stop being fooled!
