Water, water everywhere... except for California's farms (Rep. Tom McClintock) - The Hill's Congress Blog

McClintock lived down in the Thousand Oaks area for years until he ran for Northern California's Congressional seat. He moved back up to Elk Grove. A little closer to the District he represents but not quite. See in California someone who runs for a Congressional Seat only has to be a Registered Voter in California. He doesn't have to live in the district. He doesn't have to vote on the issues that affect the people he represents. He doesn't have to shop at the same stores or drive on the same roads. He only has to have enough people to put a mark next to his name every two years.

This fight for the 4th Congressional District's water is NOT for the people he represents. This is a fight for the right to the water captured in Northern California's mountains and send it down to his old buddies down in Kern County.

The water from California's Northern Sierras is clean clear water, purer than anything they pump out of the ground or capture from Colorado River.

McClintock is NOT fighting for the people he represents, he's fighting for the Business Communities in Southern California. They have a lot more money to put in his campaign than any retiree or logger who lives in his district.

Corporate contributions have surged for new Republican leaders in House

Corporate contributions have surged for new Republican leaders in House

Let's put on our thinking caps. What does this mean to you and me?

The first line to the Preamble of the Constitution says:

We, the people of the United States, . . .
(NOT -- We, the business communities of the United States, . . .)

If our legislators are putting the Corporation's interest OVER what is good for the People, then are they really Representatives, or are they paid spokesmen?

Vote Nov. 2
