Dear
Restore the Delta Supporter,
With
the Bay Delta Conservation Plan steering committee preparing its final new
conveyance report, San Joaquin Valley Congressional Representatives are leading the
charge to "turn on the pumps" and there is a need to educate Californians on Delta
management and the proposed water bond. Western San Joaquin Valley
agribusiness interests are waging an all out media war so that they can gain
control of California's water system.
Already,
the well-heeled Western SJ Valley agribusiness lobby has created a media
campaign that pits the water needs debate as people versus fish, influencing
public discussions and reporting by the media, as well as the debate between
Congressional Representatives in Washington D.C.
Our
media and advocacy teams are working to turn the tide against the water
districts in the Western San Joaquin Valley that utilize 80% of Delta water
exports, but we cannot succeed without your support.
Help us
fight California Western San Joaquin agribusiness attempts to rob the Pacific
Coast's largest estuary of the fresh water it needs for fishery and Delta family
farming communities to survive -- please make a gift today.
So far,
the Western SJ Valley agribusiness push for increased water exports and new
conveyance is setting the stage for water exporters to resell their water to
Southern California developers. All this is happening while Delta water quality
standards are not being met or enforced for Delta family farming communities and
for the protection of Delta fisheries.
Please
make a year-end gift to help Restore the Delta so that it can stand up to
the powerful Western San Joaquin Valley agribusiness industry in 2010 and move
closer to the restoration of freshwater flows through the
Delta.
We
cannot afford to lose this fight, and we cannot succeed without your support.

Thank
you for all that each of you do to work for restoration of the
Delta.
Restore the Delta wishes you and your family a joyous and merry Christmas, Hanikkah, and Kwanza and best wishes for the New Year!
Sincerely,
Barbara
