Brief Speech delivered at Fresno Rally for Water July 1, 2009

(Delivered after several speeches regarding drought, Delta Smelt, environmentalists, lack of crops, mounting grocery prices, dust, unemployment, et al)

The energy, the commitment, the passion here today for this issue (water) is incredible!

Well, I had a wake-up call in Sacramento over this past weekend. At my father’s 80-birthday celebration there were guests from all over. And I was dismayed with either the low-level of concern or the total unawareness of our plight here in the Central Valley.

Today, I want to tell my sister and brother and all of my other family and friends in Napa County, Sonoma County, Solano, the Coast, Oregon – Wake Up!

To all others in the state of California – Wake Up!

And to the kleptocrats in D.C. – you know who you are, Nancy and Barbara – Wake Up!
