What
would you do with $800 million a year?
Join
the Campaign Against the 2010 Water Bond!
 With
$800
million, California could rehire 12,000 teachers that were laid off this
spring. We could pay for four years of the Healthy Families program,
which
insures 900,000 children in California. Those state parks that the
Governor
threatened to close last year? We could run them for 57 years.
Or
we could
pay for one year of principal and interest on the Water Bond to set the stage for building a peripheral
canal through the
Delta and to give corporate agribusiness, private water companies
and
developers more control of our water. All at the expense of Delta family farmers and Delta fisheries.
We're part of a statewide campaign that includes the Sierra Club, Clean
Water
Action, and many other groups. The No on the Water Bond coalition is
working
against big money and big power to defeat the Water Bond in November.

signing up for the coalition's action alert list, you'll learn about
ways to
get involved, be the first to see the new social media tools and viral
videos
we'll be producing, and learn more about this disastrous bond. Join
the campaign and tell your friends!
Bond
supporters are making it sound like a good idea, but don't be deceived:
It's a
con. Backed by the Governor, developers, and wealthy agribusinesses, the
bond
would build more dams and allow private interests to control more of our
water.
Projects in the bond that we support, like conservation, will not be
funded for
years if ever. We must oppose this bond and work for better water
policies that
truly benefit the public.
There are a lot of good things that California could do with $800
million a
year. Building more dams isn't one of them. Don't
be conned by the water bond -- join the coalition's people-powered campaign to defeat the bond!
Thanks
for
taking action,
