Drought and the San Joaquin Valley
Unemployment problem

Is it really “fish vs. people” as the Governor and Representative Nunes say?  To listen to all the rhetoric these days you’d think that people are suffering only because a federal judge and the federal wildlife agencies decided to protect fish.  Representative Nunes and our Governor are calling it a regulatory drought and families are suffering as a result.  Articles in the L.A. Times and many other papers in California have picked up the story without really checking on data available from the state EDD records.  Here is a link that shows the data pretty clearly:  http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/?pageid=133

Threat to the Endangered Species Act PDF Print E-mail
Action Alert!! Threat to the Endangered Species Act
The Bush administration recently unveiled a plan that would severely weaken the Endangered Species Act: Do you want to fish for salmon and steelhead or carp?This plan would strip the requirement for independent scientific review of projects that could threaten endangered species, allowing federal agencies to make the final call on how their projects impact these species, which could leave the fox guarding the hen house. For more than 30 years, the ESA has been a safety net for plants and animals on the brink of extinction, including grizzly bears, bald eagles, and gray whales. Yet President Bush wants to gut these protections, despite ESA's overwhelming success. Now is the time to join me and Earthjustice and speak out for the Endangered Species Act. Take action at this link: http://action.earthjustice.org/campaign/action_esandk_0808?rk=5dAW9G71FlarW or this one: http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/protect_endangered_wildlife/step1
